Today’s Betting Specials

Bet365 is continuing with their infamous 4-1 Special Bets – the horse betting special that could keep you betting for free indefinitely.
The 4-1 offer is simple yet ingenious. Every day, Bet365 selects two races to be part of this great promotion. All you need to do is place a stake of your choice on the first race and cross your fingers. If your selection wins at odds of 4-1 or longer, Bet365 will give you a free bet for the second selected race of the day, matching the stake you placed on race one 100%.
However, this is not where the promotion ends. If your selection in the second race wins at odds of 4-1 or longer, you will receive a free bet of equal value on the first selected race of tomorrow’s 4-1 Special; and so on. If you tip cleverly and have just a little bit of good fortune you could be betting for free for days, even weeks.

The five-year-old will have to look out for Richard Fahey’s Fishingforcompliments, who has been building up to a long overdue win this season and has been looking great in training.

We recommend you keep an eye on Sarasota Sunshine, who is starting to really hit his stride this year. The four-year-old who trains with Jeremy Noseda has thus far started in three races in 2010 and has recorded one first place and two runner-ups. She will be ridden by Frankie Dettori.
Co-favourite Thrill, trained by John Gosden, put herself on the map when she ran to a narrow victory in the Chelsea FC Education Centre’s Handicap at Sandown on 11th August.
