Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 12/09/24

Best Tip: Copacabana #2 Hawkesbury R5

This horse knows how to bring the heat and last time out at Newcastle, it showed us exactly what he's made of. With Reece Jones in the saddle, it's a force to be reckoned with and could very well take the win again. Before that, Copacabana finished first at Newcastle in a Mdn on August 8, 2024 over 1250m. Top 3 record is good, should be able to put in a good run. Has had success before in dry conditions so the track conditions should suit. Likes running second-up, good record. Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances.

Stats and Insights

Hawkesbury Racecourse is known to have a very real home track advantage and pro punters have affirmed that there are certain runners that irrespective of their form at other tracks, if they perform historically at Hawkesbury then that form is likely genuine.

Jockey Chris Parnham has an 18% win rate and 45% place rate at Bunbury Racecourse over the last 12 months.

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.

Best Racing Promotions

There is plenty of live racing action this week and it’s all headlined by the Makybe Diva Stakes Day on Saturday at Flemington Racecourse. With the Spring Racing Carnival in full swing, there is no better time to take advantage of betting sites bonuses. If you’re looking for a new bookie or some of the best promos, I think Palmerbet is a good option this week.

They have money back offers as well as price push (boosted odds), price protect and protest payout. Price protect is an interesting feature at Palmerbet. It allows you to get the best payout between fixed odds and top tote, so whichever price is higher. That’s pretty cool. Along with boosted odds, I think you should be able to get some of the best odds in the industry at this site. They also have a decent mobile app, a huge range of betting markets for racing in Australia and overseas, exotics, speedmaps and more. I think they’re a perfect option for Racing betting.

The promos and offers won’t last long so it’s important to get in early. Enjoy the thoroughbred racing around Australia with Palmerbet this week. I hope you can back a winner or two!
