Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 21/03/25

Enjoy the horse racing action with my Friday horse racing best bets. I'm heading to Scone for my best bet of the day in Race 8. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Sparring at Albury in Race 4. Expect a fair racing surface at Scone on Friday, as the track is rated a good 4 at this stage. The same can be said for Albury Racecourse. Let's get into it!

Know Thyself is a top prospect for victory at Scone, making it my best bet of the day. Missed the top four last start but showed enough to suggest a stronger performance is near. But, this is a horse that wins just as much as it places. Last outing, Know Thyself took on a 1400m race at Tamworth and finished 5th. Carried 57kg, started at $1.90, and handled a good surface. The draw might not be ideal, but it all depends on how the race unfolds. With Aaron Bullock on board, expect a tactically astute ride this Friday. This jockey always brings out the best in their horse. Know Thyself, under the guidance of P Messara & L Gavranich, has shown great potential in recent workouts. Know Thyself has been absolutely unbeatable here at Scone - the record speaks for itself.

On Friday, watch out for Sparring at pretty decent odds. Finished beyond the top four but wasn’t beaten far, indicating some potential. This barrier should allow him to stay out of trouble and finish strong. Jockey Jason Lyon will be in the saddle this Friday. Has a great winning strike rate. This trip of 900m suits perfectly, proven performer time and time again. Solid record over this distance, winning 3 times from 3 runs. He thrives on this track - a real specialist here, always delivering. Proven performer at this venue, recording 4 wins and 4 placings from 4 starts.
