Want to learn how to lay bet?
When you place a lay bet, you are betting on something not to happen. Letâs 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 âWinâ market, you can celebrate if the runner tails off at the back of the field.
PAKENHAM RACE TIPS
Pakenham Racecourse was first formed in 1875 and is located 70 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD. From hosting once-a-year picnic meetings the club gradually grew in stature, with the Pakenham Cup first run in 1926. Today the club hosts several race meetings, with night racing on the turf track in summer and autumn and jumps racing during winter, as well as flat races on the all-weather synthetic surface. As well as two tracks (turf and Polytrack), the racecourse also houses a world-class training facility used by some of Victoriaâs leading stables, including Peter Moody and Phillip Stokes. Local trainers have a particularly good strike rate at their home track, and often feature in Betfairâs Pakenham tips.
The Pakenham Cup, held each December, is the clubâs major raceday. The Listed 2500m contest was won in 2021 by Smokinâ Romans, ridden by Jamie Kah and trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace. The feature race of the clubâs jumps racing program is the Mosstrooper Steeplechase, whether itâs on the flat or over the fences head to the Betfair Hub for Pakenham best bets on each and every meeting.Â
The turf track (circumference 2,410m, width 25m) has a fibre reinforced sand profile with full subsurface drainage system. The home straight is 480m long, with a testing rise to the winning post (similar to Sandown). The course generally exhibits little bias and appears to perform well in wet and dry weather conditions, meaning punters can bet with confidence. Find Pakenham tips today on the Betfair Hub. Â
