SBC regains Tipster Challenge lead at Epsom

Michael WhittleIt was a great day for SBC News in the Tipster Challenge at Epsom, as a late win on Finelcity (9/1) gave us a lead of more than 7 points at the top of the leaderboard.

The Guests, well represented by Michael Whittle (Sports Acquisition Executive at Betfred), matched SBC’s other two wins on Medburn Dream (9/2) and So Mi Dar (3/1).

Meanwhile, it was a disappointing outing for Stephen Harris of bettingexpert and Timeform, as they collected just 3.00 points apiece and remain in 3rd and 4th place.

Race Winners at Epsom:

  1. Normal Equilibrium – 4/1
  2. So Mi Dar – 3/1
  3. Barwick – 16/1
  4. Dark Red – 12/1
  5. Finelcity – 9/1
  6. Medburn Dream – 9/2
