The Betway Queen Mother Chase is traditionally the championship race on Ladies Day at the Cheltenham Festival.

Featuring the fastest chasers in National Hunt, this Grade 1 race is always a highlight of the season and is raced over Cheltenham’s stretching 2 mile trip on the Old Course.

Despite relatively small fields, a number of online bookmakers are always looking to give their customers value, so an additional each way spot is certainly not out of the question in 2024. So 4 places each way at the 2024 Queen Mother Champion Chase is a distinct possibility as bookmakers look to offer maximum profit opportunity for their customers. It’s certainly a promotion which will drive 2024 Cheltenham Festival new customer registrations for savvy bookmakers should any choose to extend to 4 places.

The Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase as the feature minimum-distance championship race of the season is always highly anticipated. In recent history Nicky Henderson has saddled 3 of the past 6 winners with Finian’s Rainbow winning in 2012. However the great Sprinter Sacre dominates recent memories. 2013 saw his first victory by a mammoth 19 lengths in the Champion Chase in a season where he also won the Tingle Creek Chase, Victor Chandler Chase, Melling Chase and Punchestown Champion Chase. However it’s 2016 which will live long in the memory as the 10 year-old beat 4/6F Un De Sceaux by 3-and-a-half lengths to capture his second Queen Mother Champion Chase, amidst emotional scenes.

With anything up to 11 runners across recent renewals, online bookmakers pay out the standard 3 places each way at either 1/4 odds or more often 1/5 odds for this level-weight race. However the Queen Mother Champion Chase is so popular with punters desperate for a serious bet, that a bookmaker may well introduce an additional place, with 4 places more than likely for the 2024 Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase. Naturally 4 places covers circa 25% of the field – a situation which can only drive the chances of profit.

At the time of writing, no bookmakers have extended beyond the standard 3 places each way terms. As soon as this changes we’ll confirm details here.

We track the value provided by online bookmakers across the major National Hunt races. Extended each way terms gives punters a huge boost in terms of profit potential and is the perfect promotion for those who love to back big priced long-shots. With some High Street bookmakers still categorically giving their customers the standard each way terms, knowledgeable punters have been using online bookmakers who have been offering far better value to their customers now for years.

The 2024 renewal of the Queen Mother Champion Chase could be the year that sees online bookmakers offering extended each way places for the first time.
