MUSSELBURGH

stages the inaugural Sky Bet Sunday Series fixture today with £180,000 in prize-money on offer and all races on ITV4. The teatime meeting — first race 3.55pm and the last 6.40pm — hopes to capitalise on the trend which saw increased interest from armchair punters and betting turnover on Sunday meetings during lockdown restrictions. There are two more meetings in the series, at Haydock on August 8 and Sandown on August 22. Bonuses on offer include £100,000 for the owners of a horse which wins at all three fixtures and the same amount for a jockey riding seven winners across the three meetings. More meetings in the same time slot seem certain to be scheduled next year.
