2024 Epsom Handicap Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Epsom Handicap 2024 tips on the $1.5 million mile showdown this spring.
- To Win: #5 Rediener ($27 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Going for a blowout in the Epsom this year with Waller’s Group 1 winner and noted Randwick performer, Rediener, looking forgotten at $27 at time of publish despite his killer form last prep and promising return last time out. This five-year-old son of Redoute’s Choice boasts a 50% winning strike rate at the track from four previous Randwick runs and is proven at the mile. He completed the Bill Ritchie – Epsom Handicap double with light weights at big odds this time last year before things went amiss in the King Charles III Stakes. He had time off and came back at Rosehill on September 14 catching the eye fresh in the Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes when fourth only 1.55 lengths beaten by Encap carrying 58kg over the 1300m. That would have blown out the cobwebs, he returns to his preferred course now fitter second-up ready to defend his title. Will relish the 1600m, drawn okay in gate 12 for Josh Parr and the 55.5kg is actually manageable. Overs.
Epsom Handicap tips are insider selections provided by bookmakers and racing specialists on which horses to back and sack in that spring’s edition of the $1.5 million mile feature at Randwick Racecourse. Consulting Epsom Handicap betting tips before placing a punt on the race in early October can help give you a winning pay-out on the classic race and win big at the bookies!
Epsom Handicap tips usually favour the shorter-priced runners in the race who have a stellar record in the race including recent wins by favourites Winx (2015), Happy Clapper (2017) and Kolding (2019).
Epsom Handicap Favourite
No matter what you wager on, whether it’s horses, greyhounds, or sport, almost every contest you come across will be offering one particular competitor as “favourite”. Horse racing is no different, and a lot of the time punters will only get their tips from online bookmakers, such as Ladbrokes.com.au.
Epsom Handicap tips flow in thick and fast during the lead-up to the event, and the Epsom Handicap favourite is often the result of whatever horse the majority of tips point to. However, backing the favourites isn’t the only option. The Epsom Handicap favourite will have the shortest odds – and therefore smallest pay-out opportunities – while an outside chance who has had a good lead up to the race could be sitting in lucrative odds.
That said, Epsom Handicap favourites have a strong recent record in the race so a good tip is to stick with the shortest-priced runners in the Epsom Handicap odds.
The most recent favourites in Epsom Handicap betting to win were Chris Waller’s four-year-old Kolding ($5.50 in 2019) who beat home the equal $5.50 top fancy Te Akau Shark in a tight result and the promising Joe Pride-trained Ceolwulf ($4 in 2024).
Before Kolding, the last Epsom Handicap favourite to win was Winx ($3 in 2015) who was the third straight Epsom Handicap winner for successful Sydney trainer Chris Waller, until the 2017 success of short-priced favourite Happy Clapper ($2.40).
Epsom Handicap Lead Up Races
Lead up races are a fantastic opportunity for punters to build their own Epsom Handicap tips. Watching horses that are set to compete in the Epsom Handicap is a great way to see what sort of form the favoured thoroughbreds are in, and whether any outside favourites are looking to challenge for the win.
Good lead-up races to keep an eye on when doing your Epsom Handicap tips including the Group 2 Theo Marks Stakes and Group 2 Shannon Stakes, both run earlier in the spring at Rosehill Gardens.
Preparation is vital to getting the best Epsom Handicap tips, and in this way it is always a smart move to bet on early odds whenever you get a hot tip. Online bookmakers like Ladbrokes.com.au have fixed odds released weeks and even months in advance, so as soon as you know who you will be backing, head over to the bookie and take advantage of the exceptional odds.
The longer you wait to make a bet, the shorter the odds will become, so speed is key when taking advantage of Epsom Handicap tips.
Epsom Handicap Bets at Online Bookmakers
Finally, joining an online bookmaker is one of the easiest ways to get regular horse racing tips including those for the Epsom Handicap. Reliable bookies such as Ladbrokes.com.au and bookmaker.com.au are your one-stop-shops when it comes to horse racing betting, so if you are looking for Epsom Handicap tips, as well as regular bonuses and promotions, then joining a trusted online bookmaker is an ideal way to enjoy your horse racing bets.
