How can I back the Longest Travellers?

Backing a Longest Traveller horse is a straightforward process at any of the top online bookmakers on our site. Head over to your bookmaker of choice via any of the links on our site, add the Longest Traveller to your betting slip, and place a bet as normal.


Why take note of Longest Travellers?

Transporting a horse to a racecourse is expensive, so if a trainer decides to send one of their horses an extended distance to run, it can point to connections thinking they expect a big performance from their animal.

Armed with this information, many punters believe horses who have travelled the furthest distance to the course are a great selection to place bets on.

The thought process is - why would a horse racing trainer send a horse so far if it did not have a real chance of winning?
