Racing returns back to Mornington racecourse and Goulburn racecourse this Monday for two solid cards off the back of a great Saturday in racing with our free horse racing tips doing quite nicely and we now come back to our solid monday racecourses. I have thoroughly run through both of the cards and picked out a best bet and best outside chance of the day and outlined them in this article. There are also the best racing promotions across our Aussie horse racing betting sites outlined in this article. In the final part of the article you should find some helpful track insights for both the racecourses which should assist your horse racing betting.

Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 29/04/24
Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Goulburn - R3 - #1 - Skit 'N' Skat
Skit ‘N’ Skat has had a good start to his career for John O’Shea and I think should be going over here at start number three. He’s resuming off of a two run campaign to kick things off when pulling up with some issues and he’s now trialled very well for the return. This maiden doesn’t have much depth and I think he’s going to be awfully tough to get past here and rates very highly.

BEST OF THREE TOTES |
*The Best Tote bet type pays bettors the highest dividend declared by the three national totes. The VIC TAB, NSW TAB and UBet. This likely means that there aren't fixed odds available at the time of writing this on that bookmaker and there likely will be.
Best Roughie: Mornington - R6 - #3 - Derelict
Derelict is shaping up to be a brilliant horse for the Harris camp and I think that he can hit back hard off the back of a great last couple runs. He went away a winner and then resumed two back at Mornington over the 1000m where he was too good for them, holding on in the straight to win well. He then stepped out at Seymour where he got no luck but was still very solid when running home into fourth. He’s hard fit here, gets Gatt on and will be revved up here.

Stats and Insights
- Goulburn Racecourse features a 400-metre home straight and is generally regarded as a fair track and offers good runs all turns.
- Mornington is a testing track that is short but sharp, it has an uphill 200m straight. Runners need to be close before the turn to account for this.
Best Racing Promotions
Promotions have historically been a great way for bettors to gain an advantage over betting sites by providing an edge to your bet. For racing specifically these promotions can be extensive in providing you some form of ‘outs’ to your bet that you wouldn’t normally receive.
Palmerbet, in recent weeks, has stood out to me across the Aussie betting sites that offer racing promotions and is one that I would take a look at, especially for big race days that feature Group 1 races and Saturday’s in general.
On our site we have a Palmerbet Review that goes in depth into the bookmaker as well as a Vicbet and Punterspal Review amongst some of the other top bookmakers that frequently have promotions.
Promotions tend to change regularly, so it is important to sign up to these betting sites to stay updated on the latest applicable promotions.
I am an avid horse racing enthusiast and punter. Growing up in Randwick, I have been surrounded by racing through stories from the elderly’s past endeavours to the racecourse and owners that are friends of the family. I am also a data-scientist and am fascinated and intrigued by the algorithmic approach to form. I’ve has become more involved with racing over the past few years due to simultaneously delving deeper into the sport and learning how to apply a data driven approach to punting. Beyond Racing, I am an avid NRL fan and MMA fan, the latter of which I have largely applied the same philosophy of methodical, data driven punting towards and found solid success in the MMA space and I continue to track and improve my strategies.
