Had a frustrating experience with Horse Racing on a big race day. They suspended in-play markets 15 minutes before the off and I missed the price I wanted. Is this common practice or was it a one-off? Which bookmakers consistently keep markets open closest to the off?

Best Odds Guaranteed is a must for any serious each way punter. Ladbrokes and Coral both offer it on all UK and Irish races as standard. Take early morning prices on your selections and you automatically get SP if it beats your price. No downside.

For the Grand National specifically, shop around for the most generous place terms. Most major bookmakers extend to 5 places for the National. The difference between 4 and 5 places on a 40 runner field is significant — your 10/1 shot finishing 5th is worth real money.

Ante-post betting on Cheltenham Festival races from October onwards can offer genuine value. The market shifts significantly as Festival approaches and stable money comes in. Taking early prices on unexposed novices from top yards can be rewarding.

Laying horses on Betfair Exchange is a completely different discipline to backing them. On a race like the Grand National where short priced favourites frequently fail to finish, laying the favourite at small odds can be a consistent strategy. Worth learning if you are serious about racing.
