Enjoy your horse racing at sportsbet.com.au

Horse racing in Australia began in the early years of Australian settlement and the industry has grown to be among the top three leading thoroughbred racing nations of the world. So big in fact, that horse racing takes place almost every day of the week around Australia, with the only exception being Good Friday and Christmas Day.

The immense popularity of Australian horse racing is highlighted by the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, and in particular the Melbourne Cup, known as “the race which stops the nation”. This truly is a world class race meeting that puts Melbourne on the international map. Other big days of racing include Stakes Day and Crown Oaks Day.

With so many races on throughout the year, there’s always a race to have a horse bet on!

Many people today need not go to actual horse races just to be able to place bets on horses. Because of Internet horse betting, a bettor can stay at home, watch the race via their computer, and win . . . so long as you made the right bet!

All this talk of horse racing got you keen for a flutter? I’m not surprised! With sportsbet.com.au, you can bet on any of the races at the following venues, and many more:
