Horse Racing Betting Tips

Wet Tracks

At this time of year we still expect Good rated tracks. So wet tracks can make betting very tricky. You often have to line up horses early in their new campaigns who have raced first up on a wet track against other horses early in their new campaigns who have raced first up on a Good track. It is best to be very cautious.

Here are some tips to note about wet tracks:

1. Slow track form is not Heavy track form.

2. Some horses can handle Slow tracks, but not Heavy tracks.

3. Lightly raced horses with no disclosed wet track form racing on a wet track are wild cards. They may be mudlarks.

4. In fact, as a group horses that have never raced on Heavy tracks have a better record than horses that have raced three times or more on a Heavy track without a win.

5. This needs to be taken into account when deciding what is value for your selection.

6. We've seen horses in the past on the minimum weight win a Black-Type race such as a Listed race in Sydney or Melbourne at big odds with no disclosed wet track form but good recent form in much weaker provinicial races.
