Racing returns to some familiar faces this Thursday with bumper cards set for Wyong racecourse and Cranbourne racecourse as we have two solid meetings in NSW and Victoria off the back of our free horse racing tips for the strong midweek meetings in NSW and VIC. As usual I have run through both of the cards and picked out an overall best bet and best outside chance of the day. I’ve also outlined our best promotions across the aussie betting sites. In the final part of the article you should find some helpful track insights for both the racecourses which should assist your horse racing betting. Follow me below for another great day of racing this Thursday!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 14/03/24

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Wyong - R5 - #3 - Cassiel
Not often I make an unraced horse my best bet of the day and whilst there are a bunch of what looks to be very well placed favourites stepping out at the Wyong meeting tomorrow I think that Cassiel looks like one of the best. He debuts here for the Snowden’s coming off the back of a bunch of sharp trials and ready to win here. He has had four trials to ready him for the debut and has been blitzing fields, winning three of the trials in fine fashion and with multiple winners having emerged from those same trials I think from barrier three with Kerrin aboard, only needs even luck to take this out.

*The Best Tote bet type pays bettors the highest dividend declared by the three national totes. The VIC TAB, NSW TAB and UBet. This likely means that there aren't fixed odds available at the time of writing this on that bookmaker and there likely will be.
Best Roughie: Cranbourne - R6 - #7 - Tornado's Sister
Not much separates the horses in this race and for that reason I am happy to be giving Tornado’s Sister a look here for the Griffiths and De Kock camp. He has only been running well since resuming from a 28 week spell and winning first up at Terang, since putting in two sharp efforts where he has finished runner up in both. One of those efforts came two runs back at this course where he was forced very wide and with any luck he likely would have won there. I think hard fit now, getting in very light at the weights and from a good draw in a competitive but winnable race he goes well.

Stats and Insights
- The Wyong racecourse is near circular, offering runners with more dynamic run styles and those that handle bendy tracks a big advantage, also gives those close to the rail an advantage in sprints
- The Snowden’s send a bunch of sharp looking horses to Wyong racecourse tomorrow so watch out for them.
- Stats at Cranbourne show that barriers four to ten are the best at all distances at Cranbourne

Best Racing Promotions
Promotions have historically been a great way for bettors to gain an advantage over betting sites by providing an edge to your bet. For racing specifically these promotions can be extensive in providing you some form of ‘outs’ to your bet that you wouldn’t normally receive.
Palmerbet, in recent weeks, has stood out to me across the Aussie betting sites that offer racing promotions and is one that I would take a look at, especially for big race days that feature Group 1 races and Saturday’s in general.
On our site we have a Palmerbet Review that goes in depth into the bookmaker as well as a Vicbet and Punterspal Review amongst some of the other top bookmakers that frequently have promotions.
Promotions tend to change regularly, so it is important to sign up to these betting sites to stay updated on the latest applicable promotions.
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.
