The Autumn Group 1 races season has kicked off with listed racing tomorrow at Eagle Farm racecourse, Flemington racecourse and Randwick racecourse and we look forward to the next week of listed racing but start here with our midweek cards. I have posted full length free horse racing tips for each of the aforementioned racecourses. In addition to my Saturday tips there is also a best bets 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 bumper cards set for Eagle Farm racecourse, Flemington racecourse and Randwick racecourse. 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!

Exacta - Randwick - R1

1st: 2
2nd: 1, 4, 8
We have been going very well with this type of exotic bet with another win on Friday with the racing under the lights in NSW and I am hoping to keep the momentum going with another winner tomorrow by doubling down on my best bet of the day here at Randwick. The #2 is a smart horse who I think wins this and progresses onto more and it would be a nice win to kick off the day’s betting. Full write up in my Saturday Tips at Randwick 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.
