Sports Betting News: Trainers Open Their Doors to the Public

Several of the top stables in Great Britian still have places available for racing fans to visit them during National Racehorse Week. 
 
The annual initiative runs from September 7-15 and provides people with the opportunity to find out how some of the best trainers in the business operate. 
 
Read on as we look at the upcoming event, before assessing some of the other top stories from the sports betting sector this week. 

Highlights

  • Leading trainers showcase their operations.
  • Osborne targets a century of winners.
  • Punter pockets more than £70,000.

Top Stables set to Welcome Racing Fans

National Racehorse Week gives racing fans the opportunity to see horses in schooling sessions and on the gallops, which helps to inform their betting activities. 
 
Alan King, Olly Murphy, Charlie Johnston and Ben Pauling are among the trainers who have slots available, while several stud operations are still taking bookings. 
 
Visiting top stables provides punters with invaluable insights they can use to inform their wagering on horse racing betting sites over the next few months. 

Osborne Aiming to Hit Her First Century

Jockey Saffie Osborne has set her sights on recording her first century of winners after being crowned top Racing League rider for the third consecutive year. 
 
Osborne rode an 824/1 treble at Southwell on Thursday evening to clinch the title and force several betting apps into making a sizeable payout. 
 
The 22-year-old has already bettered last season’s tally of 70 winners and she could be a good bet to hit the three-figure mark before the end of the campaign.

Placepot Punter Bags Bumper Payout

A punter was handed a nice surprise in midweek after he was told he had landed a winning Placepot wager of more than £70,000 at the York Ebor Festival. 
 
His selections were Phantom Flight (2nd, 7/1), Tabletalk (1st, 12/1), Vafortino (2nd, 22/1), Magical Zoe (1st, 11/2), Commanche Falls (3rd, 10/1) and Tropical Storm (1st, 5/2). 
 
The ambitious £2 wager on one of the top UK betting sites crowned an excellent spell for the in-form punter, who also backed five winners in single bets on the previous day.
