Betting early on the Cup
Hopefully you have already avoided this because pretty much everything is against you when backing your Cup fancy a long way out…injuries, track conditions, form and the bookie’s huge early market percentage just to name a few.
Poor jockeys
The best jockeys win the best races so think long and hard before outlaying your hard-earned recession busting dollars on a poor postillion.
Golden Slipper
Australia’s love of horse racing is proven by the fact that the Golden Slipper is the richest race for two-year-old thoroughbreds in the world. The race is run at the Rosehill Gardens track every April, with $3.5 million dollars at stake.
It’s a fast and furious race which attracts entries from all the Aussie states and other world class breeders and trainers. Every year the race has all the elements required to make racing blood boil and betting fly. The drama of horses coming from the extreme outside, wins by a nose, record breaking runs and coming from last to win are just some of the exciting events defining this glorious race.
