Only Racing has you covered for Wednesday's horse racing action at Belmont and Sandown. We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie. I'm heading to Belmont for my best bet of the day in Race 3. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Lazy Susan in Race 9 at Sandown. The track conditions at Belmont are looking good for racing. The Sandown track is a good 4 at this stage. Let's get into it!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 04/09/24
Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Lord Shiva #7 Belmont R3
In its last race on August 26 at Lark Hill, he surged to the front, winning by 3.0 lengths. He carried and managed to beat Deep Speed, which was quite impressive, especially at odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now. Before that, Lord Shiva finished first at Lark Hill in a Barrier Trial-Restricted 71 on August 12, 2024, over 950m. Belmont stats are excellent, having not finished outside the top 3 yet. Good stats when it's second-up.
Best Roughie: #11 Lazy Susan Sandown R9
Lazy Susan is first-up on Wednesday. Has a positive first-up record in its career. The last run was a good one, it had a nice run and beat the field. This horse just knows how to win. With Jamie Kah on board, this horse should get another favourable run and could get the win again. Before that, Lazy Susan finished first at Sandown-Lakeside in a BM70 on February 21, 2024 over 1200m. Has enjoyed plenty of success at Sandown with a 100% record of finishing in the top three. Very good stats when it's racing at this 1000m distance. Loves dry conditions, the track at Sandown should be nice. Likes running first-up.
Stats and Insights
- Look out for jockey Willy Pike on Wednesday, he has 3 favourites in Race 2, 3 and 4. As well as a few roughies in Race 5 and 6.
- Sandown Race 4 - Lazy Susan has an 81% place rate in its career.
- 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
Betting sites in Australia usually have some decent racing promos that set them apart, especially at the moment in the spring season. A site that I like for this week’s racing action is TopSport. They have plenty of racing promotions to take advantage of, making it a perfect combo with our free racing tips.
At TopSport, one of their top promotions at the moment is they give you a bonus bet back if your runner finishes 2nd or 3rd. This is usually targeted at the big races, such as the Memsie Stakes that just ran last Saturday. Otherwise, you can take advantage of the best of the best odds, winning up to $5,000. Along with live odds, owners bonus, higher odds for roughies, best tote, multi-betting, and more, I think you’ll enjoy the TopSport experience.
The Spring Racing Carnival is here, so there’s no better time to get the best racing promotions in Australia. Start making from profit from your bets with promos and offers.
