StanJames.com has announced its new betting offer for the Grade 1 race they are set to sponsor at Newcastle on Saturday, the StanJames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle.
The bookmaker has said that if customers back the winner of their Fighting Fifth Hurdle, they will automatically match their bet on the same horse in the Stan James Champion Hurdle next March.
Spokesman for StanJames.com, Garry McGibbon, said: “This offer is available now, and while we’re mindful it could cost us an arm and a leg if the Fighting Fifth winner doubles up in the Champion Hurdle, it’s not a bad way for us to give punters a little bit extra in the races we sponsor.”
The StanJames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle/Stan James Champion Hurdle double has been completed on six previous occasions by five different horses. Two of the horses set to run in the hurdle this Saturday are 2008/09 double hurdle winners – Celestial Halo and Binocular.
