Victoria Cup Day: Betting Odds

The Betfred Victoria Cup Day takes place this Saturday 10th May at Ascot, with most online bookies offering free bets for new account holders in the run up to race day.

In 2013, UK runner Excellent Guest won this prestigious race but with only 1 UK horses in the top 15 this year it looks set to be an Irish or French horse that wins the 2014 Victoria Cup.

Bookies Victoria Cup Favourite

Most major bookies see the French 4 year old Gelding Horsted Keynes, trained by R Varian as favourite for the Victoria Cup.

With a 66.67% win rate on the flat and having won 4 out of the last 5 races, Horsted Keynes is in great form for another win in the Victoria Cup.

Victoria Cup Odds & Offers

If you’re planing to place a free bet on Horsted Keynes, then make sure you take advantage of the £50 free bet that Coral offer as they're offering the best odds at 11/1. Brownsea Brink, the 4 year old Bay Colt trained by R Hannon, is the only UK runner in the top 15 and 14/1.

Purcell, an Irish 4 year old trained by A M Balding is being offered at the same odds as Brownsea Brink by most bookies. You’ll find that Betfred offer best odds at 14/1.

Ayaar trained by L M Cumani, Glen Moss trained by D H Brown, Loving Spirit trained by J A R Toller, Georgian Bay trained by K R Burke, Don’t Bother Me trained by M Botti and Louis the Pious trained by D O’Meara are being offered at the same odds by the majority of major bookies, although this will change the closer we get to Victoria Cup Day.

Ladbrokes offer Burn the Boats, the Irish 5 year old Bay Gelding trained by G M Lyons, who has a 25% win rate, at 18/1. Claim the Ladbrokes free bet offer for new customers and you could net a cool £900 if you bet £50 and Burn the Boats wins the Victoria Cup at Ascot on Saturday!

Flyman, Broze Angel, Capo Rosso, Trumpet Major and Heavens Guest are offered at roughly the same odds at most bookies with all 5 Irish runners commanding odds of 20/1.

As you would expect, the runners odds will change the closer we get to the race and you’ll need to get in early to ensure you get the best odds to get the most from the free bet offers you place.
