Horse Racing Tipping 

Horse Racing: The Basics

The Melbourne Cup: one of the greatest national betting events in Australian calendars. Think Makybe Diva, winning the Melbourne Cup on three occasions. Think big hats, plenty of cocktails, and lavish parties on Melbourne Cup Day. There’s a whole lot of fun in horse racing and the best part is that there’s plenty more races taking place all year round, so you don’t have to wait until November to get in on the action. Our horse racing advisors have plenty of info for you every week. 

Horse Racing Tournaments

There are three main types of horse racing in Australia: thoroughbred racing, harness racing, and steeplechase racing. The main attractions are usually thoroughbred and harness racing, although you are sure to find a big steeplechase support base at racecourses like Oakbank in South Australia. Thoroughbred racing sees $14.3 billion gambled annually in Australia, and is the third most attended sport in the country, attracting up to 2 million spectators to over three hundred racecourses nationwide. Meanwhile, there are 90 harness racing tracks, with just under two thousand nationwide meetings for harness racing annually. Given the sheer frequency of horse racing tournaments, your best bet is to head over to our expert tippers for the latest news on where racing will be taking place.
