October would have to go down as one of his best monthly performances yet, after his tips generated a monster $12,440 in cash profit from $100 win bets.

This was thanks to 21 winners at a fat average price of $12.64.

The definite standout came on the 18th, where Tezzaraki steered all his followers into Fighting Commando at his nearby Sunshine Coast racecourse.

This roughie got home at enormous $130 odds, in what was the tip of the month.

Also making a stack and securing the silver medal in the process was Perth punter Claresy1977.

He bagged no less than 58 winners in October, at juicy average odds of $8.28.

This generated a whopping cash profit of $10,930 from $100 win bets.

He's one to keep your eye on with the Perth Summer Carnival just around the corner.

Rounding out the cash profit podium with a hefty haul of $9,210 was ArrestedDevelopment.

Not a bad way to round out the month.

An honourable mention has to go to the Telegraph's Ray Thomas.

The paper's leading racing journalist and form analyst, Thomas tipped a mind-blowing 156 winners in October.

This led to almost $7K in cash profit for punters who followed all of Thomas's tips with $100 bets.

Unlike most media tipsters who focus on particular tracks or jurisdictions, Thomas provides his tips at multiple racecourses around NSW as well as interstate.

This makes his enormous cash profit all the more impressive.

Best Horse Racing Tipster: Highest POT

As mentioned earlier, Tezzaraki did the double in October, after also finishing up with the month's highest profit on turnover.

The Queenslander's 88% POT saw him claim the month's top prize of $500.

And after placing 141 tips during October, Tezzaraki certainly ticked the eligibility box.
