Australian Horse Racing Tips

Thought horse racing was big in the UK? Horse racing in Australia is a whole different ball game – it has more racecourses than any other nation and is second only to the United States in the number of horses taking part.

The best quality of racing in Australia takes place at the metropolitan meetings, mainly taking place in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland although there are others. Our free Australian horse racing tips will focus largely on these meetings because of the better quality of racing. You’ll probably have heard of a number of tracks; Flemington, Caulfield, Canterbury, Randwick and Ascot!

Sprinters and milers dominate Australian racing, so expect to see a lot of tips for flat races. While jumps racing does happen, it’s limited to a small number of tracks. There are two major carnivals during the winter (our summer), the Great Eastern Steeplechase and the Grand Annual, and we’ll be not just tipping for them but providing detailed previews and news in the build up. There’s only a handful of races compared to the UK sadly.

For the biggest races, our Australian racing tips will contain plenty of recognizable names. Max Dynamite, Trip To Paris, Big Orange, Red Cadeaux & Kingfisher were just some of the raiders at the Melbourne Cup in recent years and there was a supporting cast in attendance including Rich Ricci, A P O’Brien, Jamie Spencer, Ed Dunlop, Ryan Moore & William Buick among others.

There are few horses on the planet better know now than Australian super mare, Winx. She has won an incredible twenty-six races on the bounce at the time of writing and will be looking to close out 2018 with another trip back to the Cox Plate for a fourth consecutive year. While European horse racing fans were upset that she didn’t make the journey to Royal Ascot in the summer, connections have no desire to take their star on unnecessary journeys when history awaits her at Moonee Valley at the end of October.
