Newcastle Racing Tips & Latest News

Whilst Newcastle is used predominately for the provincial or secondary Saturday New South Wales programs, it plays host to some group races and is now $1 million dollar "The Hunter".

With 24 Saturday meetings a year, it now has a standalone Saturday meeting following the Sydney Spring Carnival with the "The Hunter" being introduced in 2019, a $1 million dollar race which was taken out by Savatiano from the Godolphin operation.

The Newmarket Handicap, Cameron Handicap, Spring Stakes and Group Three Newcastle Gold Cup are other major races that are run at the Newcastle Racecourse.

Newcastle betting markets generally arrive the day or two before a provincial program.

Companies like Unibet Australia and Palmerbet deliver Newcastle bookmaker offers, so keep an eye out in the lead up to the meetings for what bonus bet and money back specials are on offer.

However, bookmakers do still offer money back specials which essentially amount to free bets if successful so check with your bookie to see if they are delivering Newcastle free bets.

Newcastle racing fixtures are released prior to the new season.
