Want to learn how to lay bet?
When you place a lay bet, you are betting on something not to happen. Let’s think about the Melbourne Cup again. Remember: there can only be one winner. But what about the others trailing behind them? If you place a lay bet in a “Win” market, you can celebrate if the runner tails off at the back of the field.
MORPHETTVILLE TIPS | RACECOURSE
Summary
Morphettville is South Australia’s premier racetrack, located on the outskirts of Adelaide’s city centre. The South Australian Jockey Club’s two racetracks host fixtures all year round, but its premium meetings fall in April and May during the Adelaide Racing Carnival. Our team of South Australian experts bring you their Morphettville race tips all year round, with an even sharper focus on the feature meetings over the winter months. Head to the Betfair Hub for the inside track on Morphettville racing.
Fast Facts
- Morphettville was the first race club anywhere in the world to utilise a retractable winning post with hydraulics, which enables the SAJC to minimise the damage to both tracks by alternating the running of races.
- The wetlands area in the middle of the racecourse, which covers 3.5 hectares and is used to irrigate both racetracks, was constructed in 2002 at a cost of $2.4 million.
Key Events
Morphettville hosts four Group 1 meetings during the Adelaide Racing Carnival, starting with the Australasian Oaks and culminating in The Goodwood. With the Robert Sangster Stakes and the South Australian Derby in between, our tipsters bring you their Morphettville best bets over four consecutive weeks of Group 1 action.
Track Profile
The course proper at Morphettville is a long, flat course with a circumference of 2,307 metres. The track has a width of 32 metres, with wide sweeping turns and a four per cent camber. The second track, commonly known locally as “The Parks”, was officially opened in June 2009. The track has a circumference of 2,100 metres and is 25 metres wide, with a five per cent camber on the turns. A chute running through the centre of the course between the 850 and 1,550-metre marks allows for 1250, 1300 and 1400-metre starts. With an intimate knowledge of how both tracks play, you can rely on Betfair’s experts for the best Morphettville tips.
History
The first race meeting on what is today known as Morphettville was conducted on 3 January, 1876. Since the closure of the racetracks at Victoria Park (2008) and Cheltenham Park (2009), race meetings in Adelaide have only been conducted at Morphettville.
