2006 International Online Horse Race Betting Review
- At the Dubai World Cup in March, fan's favourite Frankie Dettori steered home Electrocutionist to win the race and the $6,000,000 first prize.
Since the original Dubai World Cup in 1995, the race has developed to become one of the most significant in the online horse race betting calendar. The winning prize money is the biggest of any race in the world and as such attracts the very best Thoroughbred horses.
- On October 1st, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was won by Rail Link. In a small field of only eight horses, Rail Link left most horse race betting fans without smiles, overcoming the first and second favourites to take the two million euro prize and victory in one of the most prestigous horse races in Europe.
The Arc is a major horse racing betting event. Over four million Euros were wagered at the course in Longchamp alone. Be sure check out the online horse race betting odds at Blue Square next time you fancy a bet!
- November saw Invasor win the Breeders’ Cup Classic in the US, upsetting the favourite Bernardini (along with the majority of US horse racing betting punters!).
The Breeders' Cup is a one day event that takes place at a different race course in the US each year.
It attracts some of the top names in horse racing from all over the world. The competitive field and large prize fund ensure an exciting day for online horse racing betting fans around the world.
- Also in November another of the biggest prizes in horse racing, the Melbourne Cup, was won by Delta Blues. Pop Rock came in second, completing a Japanese double in Australia. Online horse racing betting fans had to endure a tense wait after the finish of the race as the two Japanese horses had to be separated by a photo.
The Melbourne Cup is one of the oldest races in the horse racing calendar, having first been run nearly 150 years ago. Over 700 million horse racing fans across the globe watch or listen to coverage of the main race.
