About Herald Sun Racing

The Herald Sun boasts one of the highest readerships amongst rival newspapers published in Victoria. Each daily edition includes a dedicated racing lift-out which provides coverage for up to two day's racing and the latest news and views within the racing industry.

The Herald Sun racing lift-out is one of the most recognised form guides available to Victorian punters. The racing content is presented in an easy-to-read format, targeting the social punter looking for brief and relevant form data that is sufficiently summarised to get the information they need quickly.

The racing form guide includes:

• A list of runners in saddle cloth order for each Victorian race scheduled on the given day and sometimes also for the following day.
• Form indicators that provide punters with insights into a runner's credentials at a glance by using a code posted next to each horse’s name;
• Estimated betting odds;
• Gear changes; and
• Comments on every runner in every Victorian race.

Saturday racing form guides usually include more detailed form statistics for each horse. Details include summaries for each runner's last three runs, and a greater number of form statistics. Comments for each horse's past runs include stewards reports which can provide useful insights into poor past performances.

Herald Sun Racing Tips

News Limited, the parent company of the Herald Sun newspaper, employs a sizeable team of racing analysts and journalists whose primary focus is Victorian Racing. There is a dedicated group of racing experts looking at each Victorian meeting each day of the week, assessing form and making their expert opinions easily accessible to punters via tip lists embedded into the form guide.

Each racing expert posts their top four selections in each race on the card and stands out one of the top selections as their best bet. For Saturday races, the entire team posts their selections, best bet, best value bet and the runner they think is the best sneaky chance of pulling off a win at good odds.

Tips for Saturday’s meeting are published in Friday's edition of the newspaper followed by an updated form guide and tip list in Saturday's editions.

The Herald Sun journalists are regarded as one of the most insightful sources of Victorian racing news in the country. They were one of the first media sources to report on the Cobalt scandal in 2015 and are usually ahead of the curve when it comes to other breaking news within their jurisdiction.

The News Limited Stable

The Herald Sun racing team is part of the broader News Limited group which includes its New South Wales colleagues from the Daily Telegraph racing team based in Sydney.

The Melbourne office also includes racing form analysts Nick Quinn and Adam Hamilton from the Victorian branch of corporate bookmaker and totalizator TAB Corp.

Herald Sun Racing Tipsters
