Conference sponsors Blue Square Bet will be paying a huge bonus to AFC Wimbledon if the Tom Dascombe trained horse Jonny Mudball is successful in the Bluesq.com Stewards’ Cup on Saturday at Glorious Goodwood.

All 68 clubs in the Blue Square Bet Premier, North and South were allocated a horse from this weekend’s prestigious race and the Wombles were paired with the in-form four-year-old after Monday’s draw at the betting company’s headquarters in London.

The race will take place at 3.40pm on Saturday 31st July – Live on Channel 4 and Racing UK.

To commemorate their new three year deal to sponsor the league Blue Square have created a prize fund for clubs centered around this showpiece race.

The club with the winning horse will receive a cheque for £2,000 plus an additional amount determined by a £100 bet on that horse. So for example a 20-1 winner would yield another £2,000 for the lucky team.

Blue Square spokesman Alan Alger said “This is our way of giving something back to the clubs who supported us through the first three years of sponsoring this great league. “It brings together our two biggest sponsorships and the winning club will benefit by what is a significant amount of money at this level.”

Jonny Mudball is currently a 10-1 shot with Blue Square for the race after coming through the elimination stage and is scheduled to line up with 27 other runners representing clubs throughout the land.

AFC Wimbledon fans can back the horse via the special www.bluesq.com/yourclub website, where if they register by clicking on their team’s badge they will start to earn money for the club right away whenever they place a bet.

Hampton & Richmond’s Everymanforhimself is an outside shot at 50-1.
