Best Bets of the Day

OnlyRacing has you covered for Thursday horse racing action at Sale. We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie. I'm heading to Sale for my best bet of the day in Race 7. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Hesitate in Race 5 at Sale. The track conditions at Sale are looking decent for racing, its a soft 7 so its recommended to bet on runners that like soft conditions. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Mansiere #5 Sale R7

Resuming on Thursday. Last start, Mansiere was 6th of 13 at Bendigo on April 13 over 1300m on a good track, 4.0 lengths behind Brazen Lady (56.5kg) with 56.5kg at $4.60. But it should improve here. Previously, 2nd of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside BM70 on March 27, 2024 over 1200m. Sale stats are excellent, having not finished outside the top 3 yet. Plenty of winning form on wet tracks. Previously has had plenty of success when it's running third-up, so just another reason to get on board.

Best Roughie: Hesitate #9 Sale R5

Previously, it finished 5th of 9 at Wangaratta in a BM64 on June 20, 2024 over 1400m, 0.9 lengths behind Perfect Gold (59kg). Has a good record at the distance, winning 2 of 10 starts. Also likes this track, has placed in 5 of 6 starts with a win in that too. Decent record and good odds to have a crack, so I like it each-way.

Stats and Insights

  • When racing at Sale Racecourse specifically out of the 1000m and 1200m chutes the course features a long straight followed by a large sweeping turn which means runners that draw outside of barrier 10 are disadvantaged by at least a length.
  • 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.
  • Sale is a soft 7 track on Thursday and the track rail is out 4m.

Best Racing Promotions

Horse racing 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.
