Picture of the Day
Thursday
What a finish to the William Hill Aintree Hurdle! In a three-way photo finish, Impaire Et Passe (green) just prevailed at the line, surviving a protracted stewards inquiry, to give Simon Munir and Isaac Souede another win in the race following L'Ami Serge in 2018. Impaire Et passe just held off the late challenges of Bob Olinger (far side) and Langer Dan (blue).

Tote World Pool
Tote Worldpool is in operation on all four days of York's Ebor Festival.
What is World Pool?
Like we do in the UK, many other countries operate a Tote betting system, where money is bet into a pool and those who back the winner take their share.
World Pool allows bettors from all over the globe to bet into a single pool, bringing them together into one multi-million pound betting bonanza.
Racing fans from countries such as Hong Kong, Australia, France and the USA will all effectively be betting into the same pools as the UK audience for each race.
What does that mean for bettors?
By having a number of different countries betting into the same overall pool, it means racing fans can pit their wits against bettors from all around the globe. More importantly though, it means that there will be more liquidity in the pools, with opportunities better value as a consequence.
With more individuals betting into the pool it means that big stakes bettors will have less of an impact on the dividend, providing more robust betting opportunities.
Take the Royal Ascot meeting last year for example, a £1 win stake on every winner across the meeting would have returned 9% more to punters who bet with the Tote than at SP.
Plus, there was better value in the exotic markets with the pools, with the Trifecta beating the Tricast equivalent in 72% of the Ascot races.
UK runners could be underestimated by the international pools, or the raiders could be looked over by the UK Tote customers. This difference of opinion could ensure a bigger price that one might be expecting about certain horses on the day.
At British Champions Day, Tote beat SP on five of the six winners on the card, so there’s plenty of value to enjoy courtesy of World Pool.
How much money is bet into World Pool?
World Pools were available on both Royal Ascot and British Champions Day last year, where bettors had the chance to win a share of some monumental pools. At Royal Ascot, £137 million was bet into the World Pool, up from £92 million the year before, and we could see even more this year.
As well as the straight Win and Place markets, World Pool will be in operation for a number of Exotic bets such as the Tote Swinger and Quinella, which were involved last year, plus new additions the Exacta and Trifecta.
Some of these bet types are extremely popular in other racing nations, even more so than the Win market. For example, last year at Royal Ascot, there was nearly £2 million more bet into the Quinella pools than the Win pools across the meeting.
Will Tote+ still apply?
We’re delighted to say that Tote+ will still apply on all World Pool bets. So, by betting directly at Tote, not only can you enjoy the brilliant value the huge pools throw up, but you get an extra 10% on top of your winnings.
Are there any bet types which aren’t World Pool?
The Placepot and our other multileg bets won’t be commingled. The Tote Exacta is another pool which will only be available to UK bettors.
How can I watch World Pool races?
You can watch every World Pool race live at Tote.co.uk by simply logging into your account having previously made a deposit.
World Pool Bets
From Tuesday to Thursday Tote bets will feed into the World Pool, enabling racing fans from all over the globe to bet into a single pool. This creates huge liquidity and value for racing fans. In 2021, £363 million was bet into the pools with a 15% higher return to a £1 bet, for online customers of the Tote, compared to the industry Starting Price.
There are seven bet types in World Pool for 2022, including the Exacta and Treble for the first time:
-
Win (Single Leg bet) – Pick the winner of the race
-
Place (Single Leg bet) – Pick a horse to be placed. Hong Kong place terms apply
-
Exacta (Single Leg bet) – Pick the first two horses in the correct order
-
Trifecta (Single Leg bet) – Also known as the Tierce. Select the winner, the second, and the third horse in the correct order
-
Quinella (Single Leg bet) – Select the first two finishers in either order
-
Swinger (Single Leg bet) – Also known as the Quinella Place, pick two horses to finish first, second or third in any order
-
Treble (Multi Leg bet) – Pick the first horse in three races
