SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
The Betfinder failed to fire for Eoin Ryan in the Tipster Challenge at Doncaster, as BetVictor’s Head of Sportsbook Product managed just 1.63 points across the seven races.
However, he wasn’t the only one to struggle, with a mere 8.26 points collected across the day from all four of our Tipster Challenge experts. SBC News picked out the same, solitary winner as Ryan (13/8 favourite, Mount Logan), whilst Timeform endured a blank day to remain bottom of the table.
Stephen Harris, Horse Racing Guru at bettingexpert, cemented his place in 2nd with the only meaningful victory of the day on 5/1 Stamp Hill, who made a late move to pull away from 3/1 Dream Mover and the 11/4 favourite War Glory.
Race Winners at Doncaster:
- Lost At Sea – 16/1
- Andok – 13/8
- Priceless – 4/1
- Phosphorescence – 7/1
