Tamworth Tips

Tamworth is one of Australia's key thoroughbred venues, and its track characteristics shape how every meeting is won. Tamworth Jockey Club, on the Peel River in the country music capital, stages the Tamworth Cup each April to close out the NSW country autumn.

Our selections follow the same process at every track: recent form against today's class, suitability to the distance and surface, the barrier draw relative to this course's prevailing pattern, and market support. Each best bet below carries the top available price — compare before you commit.
