Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 26/09/24

Follow along with me for the best free horse racing tips on race day! Thursday's racing action takes us to Geelong and Hawkesbury and I have found a best bet for you at betting sites in Australia. There's also a juicy roughie to get on board. Angland has caught my eye in Race 8 at Geelong. I also like the look of Oh Golly Goshin Race 8 at Hawkesbury. The track at Geelong is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Thursday. At Hawkesbury, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. Let's get into it!

Stats and Insights

The Geelong course proper is known as a track that gives every horse its chance as the circumference is 2043 metres with a straight distance of 400 metres.

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.

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.

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions

It’s another huge week of racing around Australia with Group 1 races on the agenda. On Friday night at Mooney Valley, the Manikato Stakes is the headline race with up to $2,000,000 in prize money up for grabs. I Wish I Win and Hayasugi are the top favourites at the moment. Then on Saturday, we have the Golden Rose Stakes at Rosehill Racecourse over 1400m.

To enjoy the racing action even more, horse racing promotions are one of the best ways to take advantage of boosted odds and money back offers. This week, I'm a big fan of the promos that Elitebet has added for racing punters. On Saturday, if your runner finishes 2nd or 3rd at any race in New South Wales and Victoria, you’ll get money back up to $50. They also offer this throughout the week at any meeting in Australia.
