The latest edition of the Tipster Challenge at Salisbury was a complete reverse of the previous week, as almost all of the pre-race favourites failed to win at extremely short prices. Incredibly, four of the seven winners prevailed at odds of 10/1 or greater, including Jackhammer (25/1) and Hatsaway (20/1).
It turned into a nightmare day for SBC News, as Andrew Riley gave the Guests a 5-point lead at the top of the leaderboard. The Social Media Manager for Oddschecker returned 5.75 points from victories on Groupie and Wave Reviews.
Stephen Harris of bettingexpert stays in 3rd after a pair of Salisbury winners, whilst Timeform remain 4th despite picking the winner in the final race of the day. See below for the latest leaderboard!
