One of the highlights of the Flat season, the York Ebor Festival, began this week and at CopyBet, racing fans can enjoy a host of different betting markets throughout the four days of thrilling action.
To celebrate the Festival, CopyBet is launching a Prediction Challenge for Saturday’s Ebor Handicap race, giving followers of their social media channels the chance to win a £50 free bet by predicting the winner of that eagerly anticipated race.

Ebor Handicap Preview
With a £500,000 prize pot for the Handicap, this race will be fiercely competitive and the maximum field size has been set at 22 runners. Sweet William is the current favourite at 4/1, after a series of victories including in the Coral Summer Handicap. However, there’s only been one winning favourite in the last 15 renewals, so it may pay to look elsewhere!
Willie Mullins has a strong candidate in the race too though with Absurde who is priced up at 13/2. Real Dream (15/2), Live Your Dream (8/1) and Jackfinbar (12/1) are the next in the betting.
*Odds correct at time of publishing – 11.10am Thursday 24th August*
