About Tony Brassel

Tony Brassel is one of the most respected and hard-working form analysts in Australia. Every week, he demonstrates his enormous tipping output by providing his free racing tips for the major meets on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays on SKY Racing. 

Brassel was born to work in the racing industry. He comes from a racing family, and has spent his life in and around horses. Combine this racing pedigree with his decades of experience as a racing journalist and form expert, and there aren't many tipsters who would claim to have a broader horse racing knowledge than Brassel.

Tony Brassel's tips are provided prior to and during SKY's race day coverage. Punters have come to rely upon "Brass" and his calm tones as he delivers his tips just seconds before the horses spring from the barriers. Only Brassel's best bet horse racing tips are posted and he usually tips on Wednesday through to Sunday which are published here and recorded as part of his tipping history. Brassel usually provides tips for major metropolitan, country and provincial meetings in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.

A firm believer that it's impossible to absorb every piece of information when doing form analysis, Brassel nonetheless has his methods. He's a keen student of trial form, with his decades of experience blessing him with a trained eye to spot horses ready to give their all in a race.

Brassel also subscribes to the belief that each expert has a strong suit when it comes to tipping. Brassel's self-identified strength is tipping two- and three-year-olds, who for him, are the easiest to get a read on.

But above all, Brassel believes in keeping it simple. He often quotes Pittsburgh Phil's famous line, "a good horse, a good jockey, a good bet." While Brassel's form analysis is far more extensive than this, it's a good starting point. 

For punters looking for some free horse racing tips, it's hard to go past Brassel. Not only does he tend to steer you in the right direction with his tips, but his commentary on SKY's coverage provides valuable insight into all things racing.
