The Group 1 races season has come to an end but a new year has started there’s still big racing again tomorrow with two great Friday night cards at Canterbury racecourse and Moonee Valley racecourse that see some very progressive horses from the two premier racing states in the country and I have posted full length free horse racing tips for each of the aforementioned racecourses. In addition to my Friday tips there is also a best bets tips article and our recently launched daily multibet tips article that has helpful track insights and also outlines the best promotions going around across our aussie betting sites with my best bet and best outside chance of the day.
It’s going to be a big day of racing with very nice looking cards set for Canterbury racecourse and Moonee Valley racecourse and we are looking to pick up some more lucrative bets and as usual I am continuing the strategy that has been having success in focusing on exacta betting as it continues to pay off so lets get stuck back into things so follow me below for another solid day of exotics betting below!
Best Exotic Tips of the Day | February 2nd
Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Moonee Valley - R1
1st: 1, 4
2nd: 1, 2, 3, 4
Best bet of the day steps out early in the card at Moonee Valley here and whilst he is going to be a tough horse to catch (#4) I think he does have an honest challenger in the #1 and I won’t be disrespecting him. Other tips go in for second place, full write up in my Friday Tips at Moonee Valley.
Exacta - Moonee Valley - R3
1st: 5, 7, 9, 10
2nd: 5, 7, 9, 10
Open markets with long priced favourites are the perfect recipe for this kind of exacta where I take all of my tips and my roughie pick steps out here, being the #9, but all of these horses are in with a chance and they are all at nice prices. Full write up on the #9 in my best bets tips and all selections in my Friday Tips at Moonee Valley.
Exacta - Canterbury - R1
1st: 1
2nd: 2, 4, 6
We have been going so well with this type of exotic bet with 6 winning bets of this kind this year already and I am hoping to pick up another winner as we head to Saturday racing by doubling down on my best bet of the day here at Canterbury, other selections in for second. Full write up in my Friday Tips or best bets tips.
Stats and Insights
- Trifecta betting can prove extremely lucrative when a higher odds runner fills any of the spots in the trifecta as it massively boosts the total odds.
- 50% of runners that finish first in the trifecta were placed in their start prior
- More than 65% of runners that finish second in trifectas finished 1st-5th in their start prior
- A simple way of comparing two horses that you are considering adding into your exacta / trifecta is to add their placings from the last four starts and take the smaller of the two
I am an avid horse racing enthusiast and punter. Growing up in Randwick, I have been surrounded by racing through stories from the elderly’s past endeavours to the racecourse and owners that are friends of the family. I am also a data-scientist and am fascinated and intrigued by the algorithmic approach to form. I’ve has become more involved with racing over the past few years due to simultaneously delving deeper into the sport and learning how to apply a data driven approach to punting. Beyond Racing, I am an avid NRL fan and MMA fan, the latter of which I have largely applied the same philosophy of methodical, data driven punting towards and found solid success in the MMA space and I continue to track and improve my strategies.
