Betfred to offer £2million Triple Crown bonus once again

Betfred, proud sponsor of all five British horse racing Classics, are once again offering a £2million Triple Crown bonus for the 2026 season.

We'll pay the bonus to connections of any horse that wins the Betfred 2000 Guineas, Betfred Derby and Betfred St Leger.

This great feat has been achieved on 15 occasions, but none since the legendary Nijinksy in 1970 - although Camelot was less than a length away from doing so in 2012.

Betfred became the first company to sponsor all five of flat racing's flagship events last year and will do so again in 2026, starting with the Betfred 2000 Guineas and Betfred 1000 Guineas at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile on 2 May and 3 May respectively.

The Betfred Oaks and Derby will take place on 5 June and 6 June respectively at Epsom Downs - and the historic 250th Betfred St Leger will be run at Doncaster on 12 September.

Betfred founder Fred Done said: “It was an honour last year to be the first company in history to sponsor all five British Classics and I can’t wait to do it all again this year.

“That is why I am offering the £2million Triple Crown bonus again. Nijinsky was undoubtedly one of the greats and it is about time we had another Triple Crown winner to celebrate.

“Can another horse rise to the occasion, make history, and do it again?"
