Best Bets of the Day

Check out the best free horse racing tips and best bets for Thursday's racing at Terang and Newcastle. I'm heading to Terang for my best bet of the day in Race 4. I also like the look of Spanish Foxin Race 6 at Newcastle. At Terang, the track is rated a soft 6 at this stage so look for runners that like to run on a soft track. The track conditions at Newcastle are looking decent for racing, it's a soft 7 so it's recommended to bet on runners that like soft conditions. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Sammaan City #12 Terang R4

In its last race, Sammaan City was 4th at Caulfield on July 27 over 1400m, just 2.8 lengths behind Dom (57kg). This should be another race where I think it can potentially improve and get over the field. Previously, 3rd of 5 at Moonee Valley Open on March 1, 2024, over 1200m.

Best Roughie: Spanish Fox #3 Newcastle R6

Spanish Fox showed form on July 25 at Wyong, placing 2nd out of 9 in a Mdn on a good track, just 0.2 lengths behind Lone Force (59kg) with 59kg at $2.00. After that race, I think Spanish Fox can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time. Previously, 1st of 4 at Rosehill Barrier Trial-Maiden on July 12, 2024, over 1023m. Good record of finishing in the top three. The wet track should pose no problems. In winning form, don't look past it.

Stats and Insights

  • Newcastle is a spacious and flat track with a 400m straight that gives almost all barriers an equal chance to run on.
  • Newcastle Race 6 - Spanish Fox has a career place rate of 71.43%.
  • 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 Horse Racing Betting Sites

Best Racing Promotions

Betting site bonuses can take your betting to another level so it’s always a good idea to look out for them. The good news is that Aussie betting sites have plenty of variety when it comes to offers and promos. Especially with the Spring Racing carnival right around the corner. So this is a great time to take advantage.

One site that I liked this week is Colossalbet. They’re pretty underrated when it comes to promotions and racing specials. Such as, they offer price pumps, back a-winner, the daily lay, and money-back specials. They call this the “Vault” and it’s your ultimate guide to the promos that Colossalbet has to offer each race day. You can even bet on a trainer to get multiple wins at a meeting. Along with BestDiv + SP, racing tips, exotic tips, and a massive range of markets, you should enjoy the racing betting journey with them.

In my experience, promotions can end fairly quickly so you need to get in fast. Simply, head to Colossalbet today and make an account to take up these unique racing offers, you won’t find them anywhere else in Australia.
