Our Ballarat Horse Racing Tips for Friday’s meeting.
Best Bets
Desired (Ballarat Race 6 No. 4)
With a lot of speed on up front Desired may be the one that can run over these late. It has shown plenty of promise to date and had no luck first up. big respect to Precious Socks in this race who will be very hard to run down if handed a soft lead.

Each Way
Sold Tha Car (Ballarat Race 7 No. 5)
Sold Tha Car has been an excellent horse to us over time and it gets another chance here launching from the good draw. Farley is 1/1 aboard and Sold Tha Car is unbeaten over this trip. The $13.00 is excellent odds.
$13.00
Best Lay
Port Louis (Ballarat Race 7 No. 1)
Sent to NZ for an easy kill. This horses strike rate against its starting price is very concerning and not ideal from a punting perspective at all. The horse has ability but the 1 win from 11 starts is a worry and most of those losses were at extremely short odds. Shouldn’t be favourite.

Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and the skies are clear so the track should be a Good 4. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Turin Warrior (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3) Last-start winner at this track and distance. He’s drawn well and Karis Teetan sticks. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
