"The in-play hints can give a great insight into potential in-play betting strategies based around the previous running styles of the horses in the race."

Last week, the Betfair Product team outlined a series of enhancements in the new Exchange Horse Racing pages - currently being rolled out in 'beta' form - and they can now announce two new key features...

1) A dutching calculator in the betslip for entry of back bets to a specified total stake

To activate this function first add the selections to the betslip then click on 'Stake' in the header above the selections to bring up the stake entry dialog box.

Enter the total stake to be dutched across the selections and click ok.

The betslip will then calculate the individual stakes required to achieve an equal return if any of the selections are successful.

2) Enhanced Timeform information for each race

Timeform in-play hints and individual runner comments are now available for UK, Ireland, Dubai and US races. These augment the already available Timeform View and 1-2-3 prediction.

The in-play hints can give a great insight into potential in-play betting strategies based around the previous running styles of the horses in the race.

To view the Timeform information for a race simply select the 'Timeform' checkbox in the market header.

As a reminder you can access the new market pages through the Horse Racing - Beta link in the Exchange All Sports menu on the desktop site.
