WBX.COM LAUNCH

WBXTRIPLECROWN.COM AND WBX HURDLING TRIPLE CROWN MARKETS

WBX.COM MEDIA RELEASE

For immediate release, Wednesday, 4th November, 2009

The WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle is a little over three weeks away and ahead of the big day on November 28th WBX have unveiled a fantastic WBX Hurdling Triple Crown dedicated website in addition to the launch of two specials markets.

www.wbxtriplecrown.com contains a wealth of information and is packed with features relating to both the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle and the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown. It includes, for the first time this year, exclusive content from connections of the leading hopes ahead of the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle.

Tony Stafford, racing manager to Punjabi's Owner Raymond Tooth, has already exclusively told readers that, "...With three and a half weeks to go to Newcastle, the heavy rain over the past weekend could not have been better timed for the Henderson horses to get onto the grass gallops after the dearth of autumn rain."

World Bet Exchange have also activated two new markets relating to the WBX.COM Hurdling Triple Crown: "Will The First 2 Legs Be Won?" and "Will It Be Won?"

Currently, it is 2.84 to back that the same horse will secure victories in the first two legs at Newcastle in the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle and at Kempton in the Christmas Hurdle while it is 30.0 to back that the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown is won for the first time."

The WBX Hurdling Triple Crown will once again take in the three Grade 1 2m hurdle races run in Britain each season: The WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle, The Christmas Hurdle at Kempton and The Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. Any horse that wins these three races in the same season will be eligible for the £1 million bonus.

The 2009 running of the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle will carry total prize money of £100,000, making it the most valuable renewal of the race to date.

Iain Turner, PR and Sponsorship Manager for WBX.COM said, "To have the likes of Tony Stafford write exclusively for www.wbxtriplecrown.com will give our Members and National Hunt fans an insight into the preparations of the Champion Hurdler in the build up to the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle. Tony will be updating his column with news over the next few weeks and beyond should Punjabi win the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle for a second time.

I am very grateful to Raymond Tooth for allowing Tony to keep racing fans up-to-date with the horse's preparations and hope www.wbxtriplecrown.com will become a useful source of information for all National Hunt followers.

We introduced the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown markets for the first time last year and due to their success had no hesitation about offering them again. The layers certainly got away with it last year with only a fall at Kempton costing Punjabi the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown and with it the £1 million bonus.

With initial entries for the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle closing on 10th November I would expect to see interest in both markets increase as WBX.COM Members get an idea of who is likely to run in the race."

*Prices quoted correct at 10:00 GMT on Wednesday, 4th November, 2009.
