Stephen Harris, the Horse Racing Guru at bettingexpert, stood out from the crowd on a slow day for our experts in the Tipster Challenge at Yarmouth. Harris returned three winners and a total of 12.33 points to move past SBC News into second place on the leaderboard.
However, he remains more than 15 points behind the table topping Guests, represented this week by John Cruces, Head of Marketing Operations at Dafabet. Cruces will be slightly disappointed with his day, after managing just a single winner on 5/6 favourite, Coarse Cut.

- We will be taking on bettingexpert, Timeform and a rotation of guests, with the focus on a specific Wednesday race meet.
- Throughout the year we will keep record of points won each week, points won on average and points won overall for each.
- The guest tipsters will compete as one team, with their points added together as one leaderboard entry.
- The new tips will be published on Wednesday ahead of the race meet, and the results will be available on Thursday.
- For the purpose of the competition, we will assume that all selections are backed with 1 point.
- Lost tips will count as 0 and won bets will be added to the leaderboard at SP value.
- For example, if bettingexpert backs a winning horse at 8/1, they will get 8 points.
