This Saturday Betfair are offering you the chance to start a free bet streak by placing a £10 bet on any sport on the Betfair Exchange.

Even if that first bet loses, you will be credited with a £10 free bet to begin your streak. For every winning £10 bet you have for the next seven days on the Befair Exchange, we will credit you with another tenner to keep that streak going.

We have collated some of the best tips from our horse racing tipsters to inspire you to get your streak underway by placing your first qualifying bet this Saturday, but before we get into those, let us take you through how to get involved.


How does Betfair's Free Bet Streak offer work?

  1. Opt-in on the Betfair Exchange promo page or bet banners on the Exchange homepage
  2. Place a £10 bet on any sport on the Exchange on Saturday 21 December. Your first cash bet will qualify for the offer.

  4. Your Free Bet Streak begins with your first £10 free bet, to use on any Exchange market (minimum odds apply). The way to keep the streak going is to keep on winning.
  5. If your free bet wins, you will earn another £10 free bet, alongside your winning returns. If you lose, your streak is over.
  6. You will continue to receive another free bet every time your free bet settles as a winner for a maximum of 7 days after the initial free bet has been awarded.

Saturday Horse Racing tips and insight from our very own...

Listen to Saturday's Racing... Only Bettor!


14:05 Ascot - Back Famous Bridge to build on solid comeback

Mark Milligan: "Famous Bridge has stamina in abundance and looks sure to give a good account despite having to concede weight all round. Nicky Richards' eight-year-old took this race last year off a mark of 135 and only races off 2lb higher this time around despite heading the weights.

"The selection made a really solid comeback when second at Kelso last month and that run should have put him spot-on for this test. Venetia Williams has her team in top order, and she saddles what should turn out to be one of the biggest threats in the shape of Frenchy Du Large.

"This nine-year-old has been lightly raced in recent years but shaped as if retaining all his ability when runner-up at Ludlow last time, where he was returning from a mammoth 572-day layoff. He's highly respected with cheekpieces back on."


14:25 Ascot - Back The Wallpark to handle step up

Kevin Blake: "The Wallpark has shown particularly strong progression over hurdles since July, with him winning all four of his starts since then, headlined by a valuable handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival and a competitive handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in October. The latter victory was his first attempt at three miles and he looked to relish the test the race presented.

"While a potential lack of pace isn't ideal for one that seems suited by being ridden with some patience, his rider will be aware of the pace situation and may well look to keep him that bit closer to the pace this time. He has just 6lb to find with Strong Leader on official ratings and with his arc of improvement having been so steep to this point, he might well be able to improve enough to take this big step up in class into his stride."


15:35 Ascot - Back Be Aware to deliver for Skelton

Daryl Carter: "This competitive handicap can go to Be Aware who has done nothing but progress in all of his runs for Dan Skelton. I expect him to improve for his outstanding seasonal return runner-up effort in the Greatwood Hurdle now race fit and likely granted a more vigorous pace to aim at.

"The selection didn't have the Cheltenham race run to suit his racing position at the rear of the field, and being the only horse to come from well off the gallop, he deserved to be marked up. There has been lots of talk about the third, Dysart Enos, being keen during the Greatwood, but on closer inspection you will see that Be Aware ran freely in the early stages, and he outjumped many of his rivals only to reign back. The winner, Burdett Road, dictated the fractions from the front, and Dan Skelton's horse had to make up serious ground from the rear of the field to challenge. He hit the line hard, 1/2 a length behind the winner, despite being four lengths behind at the second last.

"That was such a positive seasonal return behind one who was a race-fit from the flat that he can't be ignored in this valuable handicap that happens to be sponsored by Ladbrokes (same as Skelton). It would be no surprise if they also had this race in mind (plenty of Greatwood horses do well in this), having improved with every outing over hurdles in his short five-race career.

"Today will likely set up well for him, but I expect him to be ridden closer to the gallop. I expect him to confirm the form with Dysart Enos and prove most potent at the finish. Impero can have a say at big odds, while Kabral Du Mathan, Fiercely Proud and Steel Ally are expected to feature in a competitive race. However, the selection can gain a deserved victory, and he is a winner in waiting. Back the selection at 3/14.00 or bigger."
