Enjoy the horse racing action with my Thursday horse racing best bets. I'm heading to Bunbury for my best bet of the day in Race 7. I also like the look of Hollandiain Race 5 at Ballarat. The track at Bunbury is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Thursday. At Ballarat, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. Let's get into it!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 14/11/24
Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Lethal Weapon #5 Bunbury R7
Lethal Weapon has been impressive in just 3 career starts and I think she’ll be good again on Thursday. She comes off her first win, beating a 16 horse field at Northam. Brad Parnham was on board for that victory and he’s back in the saddle for this race too. She ran on this track last month and came 3rd. Should be fitter for the run this time and good odds to have a crack at back to back wins.
Best Roughie: Hollandia #4 Ballarat R5
Last run, took down Jenny The Beaver (58.5kg) over 2400m at Bendigo (starting price: $5.50). I think that was an impressive win, so I'm backing Hollandia to get in the mix on Thursday, especially from barrier 9 with Jarrod Fry in the saddle. Before that, Hollandia finished first at Ballarat in a BM64 on October 17, 2024, over 2600m. I think it's a real genuine each way chance.
Stats and Insights
- R7 Bunbury - Lethal Weapon holds a career win percentage of 33.33% and she has a career place percentage of 66.67%.
- R5 Ballarat - Hollandia holds a career place percentage of 42.11%.
- I think Jockey Jordan Childs could have a nice day at Ballarat with favourites in R3 - Colour Our World, R5 - Bellakai and R8 - El James.
Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions
Last weekend we witnessed five quality Group 1 races at Flemington and Rosehill. Mr Brightside held on to win the Champions Mile and Via Sistina continued her winning ways in the Champions Stakes. This week, the Spring Racing carnival continues with the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, Thousand Guineas and The Hunter. Another Wil is the current favourite to win the Stakes and Aeliana is currently a short-priced favourite to win the Guineas.
To get some extra enjoyment for the races this week, I believe Unibet is a betting site that you should be looking at. As an International bookie, they bring a lot of great features and betting bonuses to the market, which are very unique too. Such as live streaming of niche sports.
I also think they’ll be a great option for racing this week. You can take advantage of same game multi, great odds, updated betting markets with a lot of variety and user-friendly horse racing betting apps for iPhone/Samsung devices. Ultimately, I think you’ll get a kick out of their features and we usually feature them in our tips each week.
