Racing comes back to Sale racecourse and Coffs Harbour racecourse this Tuesday for two bumper cards off the back of what was a bit of an all over the place day for our free horse racing tips in NSW, VIC and QLD but I am keen to open the new week up in a big way and as usual have picked out a best bet and best outside chance of the day across the two cards. There are also the best racing promotions across our Aussie horse racing betting sites outlined in this article. 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 Tuesday!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 23/04/24

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Coffs Harbour - R3 - #6 - Extreme Merger
It was only three starts back that Extreme Merger looked awfully close to winning the first time that he stepped out on a Heavy 10 track and has since gone for a spell and returned off of it when working strongly through the resuming run and only being nailed in the stewards room when finishing in a photo with the winner as the two of them put a gap on third. He looks the map horse of the race, will only be sharper for the return and I think will be awfully tough to get past.

*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: Sale - R6 - #8 - Nefertiti
Really don’t see a reason that Nefertiti can’t make it two from three to kick off the career for the Douglas camp here. He returned to racing for start number two off of a 23 week spell at Avoca with a bang when controlling the race from out front and holding on in the straight over the 1100m. Based on the run style and drawing the inside barrier I think that she’s going to find the front easily and with the claim from Bull she’s in well, fitter, looks like she’s massively over the odds.

Stats and Insights
- When racing at Sale Racecourse specifically out of the 1000m and 1200m chutes the course features a long straight followed by a large sweeping turn which means runners that draw outside of barrier 10 are disadvantaged by at least a length
- The Coffs Harbour racecourse has a strong bias to inside runners up until the 1200m and from distances greater than that we see most runners coming from outside draws

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.
