RECORD RACEO JACKPOT HITS £597,000 THIS SATURDAY

London, 17th January, 2007 – The new RaceO 8 jackpot pool rolls over to yet another record level of £597,000 this Saturday.

The jackpot fund total is another 23 per cent up on last week after the jackpot of £472,000 went unclaimed.

RaceO’s managing director Steve Soden says: “With no winners last week the jackpot continues its ruthless drive forward. We’ve paid out some tidy consolation sums after a couple of near misses but the jackpot pool remains intact for another big weekend of racing.”

Punters must identify the winner of all the day’s eight chosen races to knock over the RaceO 8 jackpot or find six or seven winners for meaty consolation prizes from the consolation pools.

RaceO 8 is an innovative pool bet that offers punters the chance to win bumper jackpots from a £2 stake. RaceO partners with Timeform to rank horses for punters and offer a range of beginner friendly betting options, such as grouping outsiders as a single pick to ensure fields are restricted to a maximum of eight options.

RaceO will announce the eight races on Friday afternoon after the final declarations have been made.
