Best Bets of the Day

Check out the free racing tips and best bets for Thursday's racing at Newcastle and Seymour. I'm heading to Newcastle for my best bet of the day in Race 5. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Special Dancer at Seymour in Race 6. The track at Newcastle is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Thursday. At Seymour, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Manuscript #4 Newcastle R5

Trained by the Gai Waterhouse stable, I like Manuscript to bounce back after a tough run. He finished 5th of 6 last start at Rosehill on soft ground over 1200m. But he has been good before that. He has a win at Wyong and finished 2nd on debut at Scone. Let’s hope he brings his very best in this race on Thursday. Get’s the inside Barrier draw too.

Best Roughie: Special Dancer #12 Seymour R6

For my roughie of the day, I think Special Dancer can run well in Race 6 at Seymour. She usually likes the 1400m with a 1-1-1 record in 5 starts. After a spell, she generally runs well with a 2nd place finish in her last race when she was first-up before. Nice odds for an each-way bet in what looks like an open race.

Best Horse Racing Betting Sites

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions

The Only Racing horse racing best bets continue this week and we’re here to help you back a winner or two. With Christmas is right around the corner, horse racing promos are still going around horse racing betting sites. Promotions have been a great way to help punters obtain a competitive advantage over betting sites and can really help improve your betting experience. For the racing punters, these promotions can be incredibly useful, especially as most sites give you bet returns and money-back offers if your runner doesn’t win.

In my view, Boombet is one of the standout Aussie betting sites I have been looking at recently, for its offerings with racing promotions. On big race days where there is a Group 1 and especially on a Saturday, it’s worth a look. You can find an in depth Boombet Review as well or any of the top bookmakers that regularly run promotions on our site.

Promotions are constantly changing, so signing up with these Australian Betting Sites is key to making sure that you don’t miss out on any offers that can maximise your betting chances.
