Overview of Today’s Saturday Racing Tips

Each Saturday is like a new gift of epic racing. No Saturday is the same, so we can’t tell you exactly which races will be taking place. What we can tell you is that there is going to be high-quality racing. Even on the rare occasion that there isn’t any Group 1 action, we are still likely to see at least some Group level races.

It doesn’t make the time of year, if it’s Saturday, our experts are knuckling down, going through the form and more to ensure they can nail down some winners for you. There’s a winner in every race and it is our job to find them for you. While the races and tracks might be different each week, the formula we follow is the same.

Key Tracks to Watch This Saturday in Australia 

On any given Saturday, there are going to be multiple tracks hosting meetings, right across the country. Our Saturday race tips focus on the tracks that pull the most attention (i.e. the ones that have Group 1 races!). There are many high-profile tracks that host Group 1 events each year and we take a closer look at them in this section.

Flemington Racecourse (VIC)

Flemington Racecourse is probably one of the most well-known tracks in the country, hosting the biggest race of them all - the Melbourne Cup (but that race is on a Tuesday!). We see epic Group 1 action at this track, especially during the Spring Racing Carnival and we are here to give you the tips you’ve been looking for. 

This is the time when our experts shine with their Flemington tips! If there’s racing at Fleming Racecourse, you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll cover it at OnlyRacing. You’ll also see a sprinkling of Group 1 races during the Autumn Racing Carnival as well, so you are truly spoiled for choice.

Caulfield Racecourse (VIC)

Another one of the major Melbourne tracks, Caulfield Racecourse features some of the biggest Saturday races going around. The likes of the Caulfield Cup and more all take place at this beautiful track and we have Caulfield tips for the Saturday race meets, of course.

Just like with Flemington Racecourse, the Spring Racing Carnival is where Caulfield Racecourse really shines, with high-quality racing pretty much every weekend. There are a few Group 1 races during the Autumn Racing Carnival as well though, like the Blue Diamond Stakes.

Moonee Valley Racecourse (VIC)

Moonee Valley Racecourse is the home of night racing and the Cox Plate, of course! Just like the other two Victorian tracks listed above, Moonee Valley comes alive during the Spring Racing Carnival, with heaps of race meetings, including a few Group 1 races as well.

The Autumn Racing Carnival also features some quality racing at Moonee Valley Racecourse, with the William Reid Stakes taking place in March. The unique layout of the track means our experts need to take care when putting together their weekend racing tips.

Randwick Racecourse (NSW)

Onto the Sydney tracks now! Randwick Racecourse is undoubtedly one of the biggest races in the country and there is almost always racing on Saturday here. There are just as many quality Saturday Group 1 races during the Spring Racing Carnival as there are during the Autumn Racing Carnival.

Races like The Everest, the Doncaster Mile and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes all take place at Randwick and we, of course, provide Randwick tips for all these major racing meets. It’s been no secret that Racing NSW has splashed the cash in recent years and they are certainly reaping the rewards with so many high-quality runners making their way here.

Rosehill Racecourse (NSW)

Another one of the biggest tracks in Sydney, Rosehill Racecourse also features quality Saturday racing. Just like Randwick Racecourse, we see Group 1 races mainly throughout the Spring Racing Carnival and the Autumn Racing Carnival. Races like the Golden Slipper take up the majority of our attention though.

Rest assured, if there is Saturday racing at Rosehill Racecourse, the experts here at OnlyRacing will provide free Saturday racing tips for the meet. Even if there isn’t Group 1 racing on the day, we are likely to see racing at Group 2 or 3 level.

Eagle Farm Racecourse (QLD)

Up to the Sunshine State now, Eagle Farm Racecourse is one of the biggest tracks in the state. When the Autumn Racing Carnival is over all attention heads North as the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival heats up. We see epic Group 1 racing at Eagle Farm Racecourse during this time.

We are treated to races like the Stradbroke Handicap, the Kingsford Smith Cup and the Queensland Derby. When there is Group 1 racing at Eagle Farm Racecourse, we certainly put our all into providing some of the best Saturday race tips going around for our loyal readers.

Doomben Racecourse (QLD)

Not to be outdone, Doomben Racecourse is another major track in Queensland that features Group 1 racing throughout the Winter Racing Carnival. When things are heating up in Queensland, our experts put on their thinking caps to see which runners are set to shine. 

Races like the Doomben 10,000 and the Doomben Cup are among the biggest that we will see at Doomben Racecourse. So, if it is currently Winter when you are reading this, make sure you check out our free Saturday racing tips for tomorrow that will most likely cover tracks up North, including Doomben Racecourse.

Morphettville Racecourse (SA)

We couldn’t really leave out South Australia, now could we? Morphettville Racecourse is one of the biggest tracks in South Australia and there is a sprinkling of Group 1 racing during late April and early May. Just like all the other tracks, if there’s Group 1 racing on Saturday, we will cover them in our tips.

At Morphettville Racecourse, we see races like the Robert Sangster Stakes, the South Australian Derby and The Goodwood. It’s a wonderful time of the year when some of our attention turns away from Melbourne and Sydney, so we can focus on runners we might not normally see.

Ascot Racecourse (WA)

Once the Spring Racing Carnival dies down, there’s still quality racing to lead us to the end of the year. That racing takes place mainly at Ascot Racecourse, in Western Australia. Races like the Railway Stakes, the Winterbottom Stakes and the Northerly Stakes all capture our attention.

When we see Group 1 racing at Ascot Racecourse, we get excited because we don’t see all-year racing at this level at the track. So, it’s a challenge that we gladly take on. Our free Saturday racing tips go through the ins and outs of all the key meetings at Ascot Racecourse.

Other Tracks

There are so many tracks across this great nation and while some might not see Group 1 racing, they still hold a special place in our hearts. Tracks like Sandown, for example, feature a whole range of high-quality racing events throughout the year and our Sandown tips cover the biggest race meets.

While the tracks above in this section usually do take priority, it’s important to remember that we cover multiple tracks every Saturday, so there is still the opportunity that you’ll see tracks like Sandown and others pop up in our horse racing tips for Saturday. We love to spread the wealth here at OnlyRacing!

Bet TypeDefinition
WinThe Win bet is the simplest of all best going around for Saturday racing. Here, you need to successfully pick who you think will win the race.
PlaceWith a Place bet, you are choosing the runner that you think will finish in the top three in the race. Remember, third dividends aren’t paid out if there are less than eight runners in the race.
Each-WayIf you’re sitting on the fence a little, then the Each-Way bet is a great option. Here, you are placing equal bets on both the Win and Place options.
QuinellaHeading into the exotics now, the Quinella bet is where you pick the first two runners across the finishing line, in any order.
ExactaThe Exacta bet is similar to the Quinella bet, except you now have to pick the first two runners across the finishing line in the correct order.
TrifectaThe Trifecta bet is a step up from the Exacta. To be successful, you must pick the first three runners across the finishing line. You can add more than three runners to your bet and this will increase your chances of success.
First FourThe name probably gives it away here. The First Four is where you bet on the first four runners across the finishing line. It is fairly difficult to land this bet, but you can add more than four runners to increase your chances.
Daily DoubleThe Daily Double is where you pick the winner of two pre-nominated races on the card. You can add more than two runners to your bet to increase your chances of success.
TrebleTo be successful with your Treble bet, you must pick the winner of three races on the card. The races are usually the final three on the card and again, you can add more than three runners to increase your chances of success.
QuadrellaAlso known as the Quaddie, this is a very popular bet type that involves picking the winner of four pre-nominated races. The payout potential for this bet type can be quite large and this is why it is so popular.
