Nine runners have been confirmed for the Oaks this year, with Desert Flower the strong favourite. The Godolphin-owned horse is bidding for a sixth straight win this weekend. Other contenders include Cheshire Oaks winner Minnie Hauk and Whirl, who triumphed in the the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes.

Responsible Gambling

When having a bet, it’s vital to practice responsible gambling.

When using betting sites, be aware that sports betting can be addictive. Please take steps to remain in control of your time and budget. The same applies whether you’re using new betting sites, slot sites, casino sites, casino apps, or any other gambling medium.

Even the most knowledgeable punter can lose a bet, so always stick to a budget and never chase your losses.

It’s particularly important not to get carried away by any free bets or casino offers you might receive, both of which are available in abundance on gambling sites, but must be approached with caution.

You can stay in control by making use of the responsible gambling tools offered, such as deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion and time-outs.
