Lay of the Day Horse Racing Tips 16 February, 2025
The Lay of the Day is a one of today's horse racing runners who is not expected to win. Industry experts provide a lay which can be bet against or laid on a betting exchange like Betfair.
The horse racing lay selections aren't complete outsiders who have no chance. They are short priced runners that are under the odds.

Looking to take on some of the favourites? Want to lay the more favoured runners? The team at bets.com.au has you covered.
We provide our lay of the day for Wednesday and Saturday metro racing as we pick out the horses to fade.
Our lay of the day for racing on February 15:
Flemington - Race 6 No. 4 Chorlton Lane
He's an honest competitor and while he'd be a good horse to own, Chorlton Lane isn't the easiest horse to place now that his rating has crept up to 100.
The Ciaron Maher-trained import was probably at his mark when contesting low level stakes races with less weight or carrying bigger imposts in BM88 to open company.
Back to 1400m does suit, although this does look a shot at the stumps with a seven-day turnaround for a galloper who's generally better on the fresh side.
Chorlton Lane was again competitive last week, but a resuming Caulfield Cup winner with 60kg out-sprinted him late and there's arguably more depth to this race.

Betfair Exchange - Back and Lay
The Betfair betting exchange, established in the UK in 2000, allows punters to call the shots, set their odds and take each other on. It is quite different to the traditional model of taking on a bookmaker’s odds.
Savvy gamblers get real value from the exchange and from the back and lay options available. Quite simply, it is you betting against fellow punters.
Betfair punters can use the site just like they would any other when browsing at odds for a team/horse at any given time with their ‘back’ and ‘lay’ system.
To ‘back’ a team or horse is the exact same as it would for any other bookmaker, except you’re taking on odds presented by other punters. If you put $50 on something paying $10, you’ll win $500, just like you would anywhere else.
To ‘lay’ a team or horse means you’re taking on the role of the odds provider and like any bookmaker, hoping like hell the horse/team you’ve opened odds on loses. If you open odds for a team/horse at $10 and someone places a $50 bet and wins, you will lose $450.
