Horse Racing Picks & Promotions (Saturday, May 9): Best Way to Use Your $300 Free Bet

The ponies are back in action on Saturday and TVG has a limited-time offer for new customers in the 31 states where horse racing is legal: Bet $300, Lose Nothing.

That's right, if you sign up for a new TVG account, your first win-bet on a horse is 100% risk-free, up to $300. That means if you bet on a horse to win and it doesn't come in first, you get your $300 refunded in the form of free bets. You can withdraw whatever you turn those bonus funds into.

If you’re new to betting on the ponies and are unsure of the best way to take advantage of this limited-time $300 promotion, our horse racing expert Mike Conti loves a particular horse in Race 10 at Gulfstream Park (5:30 p.m. ET):

No. 6 Battle of Blenheim (2-1) is my only ‘A’ in the race and he’s my best bet of the day. Trainer Mike Maker and jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. will pair up here and Battle of Blenheim loves the Gulfstream turf, as he has three wins and two seconds from seven starts in Hallandale Beach.

Last time out he finished second after being out-finished, but that was the first start off a three-month layoff. He is primed and ready to go now and should be able to take down this field.

Using this bet as an example … If No. 6 Battle of Blenheim wins at 2-1 odds and you put the full $300 on him, you'd profit $600 and be able to withdraw any portion of those winnings, plus your original stake, whenever you want.

Simply put, this is far and away the best new-customer horse racing offer for those of you looking to get into the ponies, but it's only running for a limited time, so be sure to act fast. Good luck!
