Our latest 6 Horses Challenge Tips:

Here were our very own predictions for the nominated races for the Bet365 6 Horses Challenge played on 16th May 2024 (we provide our reasons why below):

Our 6 Horses Challenge Research:

Race 1 - Copper Knight

Today’s 6 Horses Challenge begins at York and the Lindum York Handicap (Class 2). 18 runners on the entry list, as they look to be the quickest over five furlongs and get the better of the Good going. With the going as it is, there will be several options when it comes to our first pick of the day, and it is Copper Knight that leaps off the page before the race gets underway. The Tim Easterby-trained entry finished second at Chester this time last week and with an impressive showing in the North West, it will hope to do one better in Yorkshire. Whereas it ran out of steam in the final furlong just seven days ago, jockey Duran Fentiman will now hope that Copper Knight has just a little more in the tank this time around. Although Marine Wave is the bookies' favourite, we are starting today’s selection with a bolder suggestion.

Race 2 - Torcello

Next is a trip to Salisbury and the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai "City Bowl" Handicap. 12 runners are on the entry list, and the going is Good To Soft. With the surface in mind, Torcello stands out from the crowd and with the Shaun Lycett-trained entry already showing some pedigree in the early part of this current racing season, it will look to build on a recent win at Pontefract and a third at Thirsk. The victory came at the start of last month, and although it offered a solid showing in its next race, it would start to fade in the final couple of furlongs. However, that sample of evidence is enough to grab our attention, and we are backing jockey Robert Havlin to lead us to victory number two.

Race 3 - Grey’s Monument

Now we return to York and the Oakmere Homes Hambleton Handicap. A race with a packed entry list of 18 runners, each of them will be tasked with getting the better of good going. Our task is to pick another winner, and with such a congested field, one rider will need to stand out from the pack. That said, we have opted for Rossa Ryan and the horse known as Grey’s Monument. The Ralph Beckett-trained entry has already picked up a third-place finish at Doncaster this season, and that comes off the back of victory at Kempton at the end of last year. With four top-four finishes in it last quartet of races, Grey’s Monument is always there or thereabouts, and today could be the perfect environment for a return to winning ways.

Race 4 - Free Wind

Staying at York now for the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies' Stakes, and with an entry list of just six, our choice of winning horse should be the easiest of the day. Especially when you consider who is among that half dozen, and with John & Thady Godsen’s Free Wind on the entry list, the anticipation is a breeze towards victory. Kieran Shoemark has been tasked with jockeying duties this afternoon and although it is yet to run this season, there is a lot of anticipation regarding Free Wind’s return to the course. If anyone is to run it close, it will be Bluestocking, but we are not stocking up on the Ralph Backett-trained entry in this one.

Race 5 - Monkey Miss

Next, we go to Salisbury for the first time today and the Ronald Hibberd Memorial Handicap. Nine entries tackling the Good To Soft ground, and it is the Daniel & Claire Kubler-trained Monkey Miss that we do not want to miss out on. Especially as it comes into the race having won at Bath just ten days prior. Luke Morris is tasked with jockey duties this afternoon, and with the same ground being declared for today as it was at the site of that previous victory, all should bode well in terms of preparation for this race. Miss Stormy Night is poised to be in the mix, but jockey Richard Kingscote may have to move heaven and earth to get the better of our selection. This one could be a close-run thing but not close enough for us to look elsewhere than Monkey Miss.

Race 6 - Dance Thief

To finish up we go north of the border and a trip to Perth. The Edinburgh Gin Seaside Handicap Hurdle is our final race of the day and with an entry list of 11 horses, they will be tasked with clearing eight fences before approaching the finish. The going is Good To Soft and should be enough to get Dance Thief going in its bid for victory. The R Mike Smith-trained entry has been competing solely at Ayr in recent months, and the trio of entries have seen Dance Thief win in March and that serves as the meat in a third-place sandwich after falling short in both February and April of this year. However, those near misses are not going to be an issue in our opinion, and although Liverpool Knight could challenge, jockey Ben Smith should have enough to make Dance Thief dance to victory.

Free To Play Prediction Promotions:

With free prediction games gaining more popularity over the past few years, Bet365’s 6 Horses Challenge is not the only game on the market today. In the table below, we list the alternatives available.

Research Suggestions:

Although the game is open to all Bet365 customers, it is arguably a game that rewards those who put the time and effort first, so do your research by reading through form guides and find out whether the going is Heavy, Good or Good to soft.

Also, be sure to check for any critical player injuries. Like with Fantasy Football, you don’t want to put all your hopes on a team winning only to find their best player is out injured.

Useful Research Sites:

To ramp up your research, here are some helpful websites with information about current form, tipster content, race previews and data analysis before another day of exciting racing is under starter’s orders.

How to Play Bet365 6 Horses Challenge:

Step 1: First, log into or create a Bet365 account.

Step 2: Once either of these steps is completed, navigate to the ‘6 Horses Challenge’ page under the Sports or Promotions tab. It can also be found by clicking Horse Racing and clicking on the same ‘6 Horses Challenge’ page.

Step 3: Next, predict the winning horses for the six nominated races.

Prizes:

The Bet365 £250,000 jackpot is not the only prize available, so you can also win if you make four or five correct predictions.

• 4 Correct - £5,000 Prize Pool
• 5 Correct - £10,000 Prize Pool
• 6 Correct - £50,000 Prize Pool

The prize value displayed for six correct predictions is the maximum available based on a single winner and will be reduced in the event of a shared prize pool. If more than one entrant predicts six correct results, the total amount of applicable prize money will be shared equally between all entrants involved. Entry to 6 Horses Challenge is separate from standard bet placement, and all Bet365 offers do not apply.

On 3rd May 2024, four winners shared a pot of £10,000 after correctly predicting four correct winners.

Final Thoughts:

The 6 Horses Challenge is open to new and existing Bet365 customers, and with it being such an easy game to play, we hope our guide has tempted you to select a half-dozen potential winners.

However, backing a winning horse is easier said than done, and with a busy field of entrants per race, it is about more than achieving this feat once; it is repeating that success another five times over.

Whether working alone or teaming up in a syndicate, your racing knowledge could soon be rewarded, but at the same time, beginners' luck could have just as much chance of overall success.

The jackpot prize will be yours if you are the only player to predict six winners. At the same time, if multiple customers find the joy of six, the £50,000 prize will be split accordingly.

Of course, that has not stopped a legion of punters from trying their luck each weekend, and although the Bet365 6 Horses Challenge has only been active for a short time, it has quickly become one of the most popular free games in the industry.
