2024 Saudi Cup Betting Odds
If you're looking to find Saudi Cup odds, then you'll typically have to wait until close to the event with the wide range of horses around the world that could take part in the event, so with this in mind, finding ante post odds is quite difficult. However, within a week of the event, you'll find a number of runners for all 16 races on the day, culminating with the richest horse race in the world - the Saudi Cup. Just because this race has the biggest prize, doesn't mean that Saudi Cup betting is actually the best offer during the two days. You'll find eight races on each day, with the Fillies Conditions opening on day one and the Jockey Club Local Handicap opening on day two.
In these races you'll be able to place a number of bet types including starting with the outright winner of the Saudi Cup, this is the most common betting market in Saudi Cup betting and the easiest market to understand particularly when combining undercard races into an accumulator bet. In this market, you'll be able to find betting odds for a single horse to win a race as international jockeys face-off at the King Abdulaziz Racecourse.
For bets on a single race such as the Saudi Cup, you may wish to look at forecast and tricast bets where you'll be able to place bets on the top two or top three of the event, these provide the highest horse racing odds for single races but are significantly harder to win. We typically see the winners of races such as the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Oaks, the Pegasus World Cup and Cheltenham Festival winners at the event, so you may recognise a lot of names when you place a bet on the Saudi Cup.
