I have horse racing best bets of the day to enjoy for Saturday's racing at Rosehill and Caulfield. I'm heading to Rosehill for my best bet of the day in Race 9. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Dashing Duchess in Race 6 at Caulfield. The track conditions at Rosehill are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. The track at Caulfield is looking in good condition as well, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Saturday. Let's get into it!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 12/10/24
Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Olentia #3 Rosehill R9
Olentia is back from a spell and I love the look of her first-up record. In 4 starts coming from a break, Olentia has won 3 races and placed in the other. So she obviously loves running fresh. The track is also suitable, she has won 3 races on good tracks. At Rosehill, she is a two-time winner and loves the 1200m distance.
Best Roughie: Dashing Duchess #10 Caulfield R6
It hit the track on September 14 and Dashing Duchess didn’t have the best run at Flemington. But that was on a heavy track and this mare loves good conditions. She has won 4 of 5 starts on these type of tracks. Saturday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Teodore Nugent on board, that gives me confidence too. Previously, 1st of 8 at Moonee Valley Open on August 24, 2024 over 2500m. Very good stats when it's racing at this 2400m distance. I think it's a real genuine each way chance and could win this.
Stats and Insights
- It has been noted by stewards and sharp punters recently that being on pace and close to the rail has been the best place/places to be at Rosehill in recent times, a track that is known to change every couple of months in terms of bias so take good note of that.
- Caulfield Racecourse is a tighter track than Flemington and suits on pacers more until distances past 1600m.
- The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.
Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions
After a weekend of thrilling Group 1 races 2024 at Flemington and Randwick, the action doesn’t stop this weekend. The key races are at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday afternoon with the Caulfield Guineas, Toorak Handicap and Caulfield Stakes. With 5 million prize money up for grabs in just those 3 races alone, it figures to be a huge day at the track.
The Melbourne Cup is also just around the corner and this is a great time to take up betting bonuses at Aussie bookies. One of my favourite sites this week is Picklebet. They have some promos and offers, that should help you this week. They have a bonus back if your first bet loses as well as a 25% winnings boost on Monday.
With other racing features like same race multi, top 4 betting, speed maps, form guides and a user-friendly app, I highly recommend giving them a go for this week’s racing action around the country.
