Betting on the Turnbull Stakes: best bets to place and expert tips
Getting onto the Ladbrokes betting platform is covered. The key however is to better understand how to bet on the Turnbull Stakes.
Get to know the race conditions
This race is run over 2000 metres at Group 1 level. There is more to it than that, however.
- Understanding Flemington. Each track is different. Flemington is left-handed, so look for Turnbull horses who like going that way round. Read info on the track’s idiosyncrasies and understand what type of horse likes to run there.
- Race distance. The Turnbull is run over 2000 metres. Horses can be versatile, but one running at their best over 1400m or one who seems to do well in staying races may struggle here.
- The going. The turf conditions and the weather have a big bearing. If the going is soft or heavy, look for horses who don’t struggle on it. Otherwise, most good horses will go on faster ground.
- The weights. The Turnbull is a weight-for-age race, rather than a handicap. Look for horses with the highest rating as a good starting point.
Understanding the form
There are a few basic ways to check on which horses are currently the best ones in the race, over and above checking the odds.
- Official ratings. Every horse is assigned a rating, but they can and do fluctuate. Check what rating each horse has been getting over a period of time. This way, you may be able to spot stagnation, progression or even regression.
- Distance preference. One horse may be higher rated than another but may show its best form over a vastly different distance. Look for horses who are at their best over the Turnbull distance of 2000 metres.
- The going. Once again, ground conditions are crucial. A horse may have shown strong form, but always on a certain type of going. Check that conditions on the day suit your horse.
- Form lines. Horses run into each other at different times of the season. If one horse has beaten another by a certain distance without excuses, while another struggled against the same animal, you can cross-reference that form but remember to take weight carried into account.
These are some handicapping basics you can use to bet more sensible on the Turnbull Stakes with Ladbrokes.
The Turnbull Stakes Odds
Another crucial factor in betting on the Turnbull Stakes is getting the best odds. You can shop around, though Ladbrokes is pretty competitive.
Getting the best value means watching the odds on the horses involved. If it becomes obvious that your horse is being well backed, it may mean that the final price is going to be shorter than ideal. If you are confident, back the horse early.
If you feel nobody else truly fancies your horse, it may pay to wait. As the money comes in for other selections, your price could increase so be happy to wait it out.
Here are a few of the horses Ladbrokes is backing on their homepage, with Buckaroo slated as the favourite:
- Circle Of Fire
- Bois D’argent
- Buckaroo
- Via Sistina
- Warmonger
- Eliyass
