A Classic, Magic weekend of top sporting action

SCORTHY CHAMP 3.35 Newmarket

- by MARK PEARSON

IT’S a huge weekend for Betfred ahead of two major sporting sponsorships.

We will witness the first running of the Betfred 2,000 Guineas and Betfred 1,000 Guineas with the firm having a blanket sponsorship of all five British Classics.

There is also a £2m bonus for any horse who can emulate Nijinsky in 1970 and land the Triple Crown.

Meanwhile in Newcastle, the Betfred Super League’s Magic Weekend sees all 12 clubs in action at St James’ Park across two days.
