Shane Ciurleo (Star Sports)

Shane Ciurleo, a professional punter, combines his deep knowledge of racing with a sharp eye for gallops, despite the challenges some trainers present in identifying the horses. Previously Betfair's Queensland Racing Expert, Shane has since joined the Bookies team at Star Sports, where he represents them in the popular Pros vs Bookies competition. His approach to betting is multifaceted, relying on watching horses in the flesh on course, sectional timings, automated bets, and a deep understanding of the horses themselves. In his ongoing battle to beat the bookies, Shane also incorporates mindfulness as a key part of his strategy.
