SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Team SBC were able to record a table topping hat-trick at Catterick, after correctly predicting victories for heavy favourite Out Sam and Danny Cook on Point The Way.
It was also a promising tipster challenge debut for Beanbagsports as Declan Kelleher backed the same two horses, but a disappointing day for BettingExpert and Timeform.
It could have been so different, as Forest Bihan and Nautical Twilight, both backed by three out of four tipsters, fell agonisingly short in the final straight.
