Racing League Betting Guide - Top News, Free Bets and Betting Offers

Racing League is a brand new horse racing competition for 2021 that sees 12 teams battle it out over six weeks aiming to be crowned the inaugural Racing League champions.

Here at Freebets.com, we’ve got you covered with all the latest Racing League news, horse racing betting, and horse racing free bets.

How It Will Work

Twelve teams will be competing for a total prize pool of £2 million and each team will consist of 30 horses, between two and four trainers, three jockeys, and stable staff. 

There will be six consecutive Thursday evening meetings – all live on Sky Sports Racing.

Every meeting will have six races, meaning there will be 36 races in total.

All the races are handicap races over distances between 5 and 12 furlongs and the horses running will be three years old and older, with a handicap rating between 0-90. 

There will only be one runner per race allowed per team.

There are 100 points up for grabs in each race and points will be awarded for finishing positions 1st to 10th place:

• 25 points awarded to the winner
• 18 points for 2nd place
• 15 points for 3rd place
• 12 points for 4th place
• 10 points for 5th place
• 8 points for 6th place
• 6 points for 7th place
• 3 points for 8th place
• 2 points for 9th place
• 1 point for 10th place

The team that has the highest number of points after all six meetings will be crowned the Racing League champions.

The Racing League – What To Bet On

Win Betting – Horse racing betting in its simplest form – you’re placing a bet on a specific horse to win the race.

Each-Way Betting – Here, you’re placing two bets in one – a bet on your horse to win and a bet on it to get a place. The number of places paid out depends on the number of runners in a race.

Forecast & Tricast Betting – To scoop a Forecast you need to pick the first two horses home in a race – for a Tricast, it’s the first three.
