£50k bonus for completing Freebets/Festival double

An online sports betting service is dangling a juicy £50k carrot in front of connections whose horse can complete a Cheltenham trials day/Festival double this spring. 

The horse who manages to win the £50,000 Grade Three 2m 5f Freebets.com handicap chase at Cheltenham's Festival trials day at the end of January will earn a further £50,000 bonus if it manages to go on and win any race at the Festival six weeks later.

The bonus would be split so that £40,000 goes to the winning horse's owners, £5,000 to the trainer and £5,000 to the yard.

Iain Coward, managing director of Freebets' parent company Biggerbet Ltd, said: "it could prove costly for us, but nonetheless we hope it adds even further to the excitement of the Festival for all concerned."
