Betfair Chase gets prize boost

Haydock’s Betfair Chase on November 18 will carry prize money of £200,000 – an increase of £50,000 on last year.

Thanks to the 33% cash boost, the Grade One contest is worth as much as the Stan James King George VI Chase and is the fourth most valuable chase of the season behind the John Smith’s Grand National, the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
