Win £30 in our May Sport of Kings contest - Wednesday's Race

Last entries: 30 Apr 2024, entries can be edited until the close date

You can win £30 if you become the Champion Points Scorer in our Sport of Kings contest.

We will be featuring a number of horse races taking part in the UK and Ireland and you have to pick the name of the horse that you think will win.

How to Score Points

You score points if your horse you have selected finishes in the top 3 of a race as follows:

1st place: 6 pts x starting price
2nd place: 3 pts x starting price
3rd place: 2 pts x starting price

Where the points calculated is not a whole number it is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

You score no points if your horse does not start the race.

Our scoring system might encourage you to take a punt on an outsider. For example, in one of the races we featured in June 2023 Khaadem won the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at odds of 80/1 giving a fantastic score of 480 points.

We will show the starting price and the points scored for the top 3 horses when we show the result of a race.

The overall winner of the £30 cash prize at the end of the competition will be the person who has scored the most points over the course of the contest. In the event of a tie a draw will be held to determine the winner.

We will give you regular updates of the standings so you can see who is leading the competition here.

You need to be an upgraded member of Competitors Companion to enter this competition.

You can win £30 if you become the Champion Points Scorer in our May Sport of Kings contest which closes on 31st May.

Twice each week between now and 31st May we will be featuring a number of horse races taking part in the UK and Ireland and you have to pick the name of the horse that you think will win.

You need to select 4 horses from the runners in Wednesday's featured race which is the 4.35pm race at Ascot. Some of the runners listed might be non-runners but you can change your selection up until the day before the race to maximise your chances of having 4 horses running in the race.

1st place- 6 pts x starting price
2nd place-3 pts x starting price
