What Newcastle Gold Cup Day 2025 Where Newcastle Racecourse – 100 Darling Street, Broadmeadow NSW 2292 When Friday, September 19, 2025 First Race 1pm AEST Visit Dabble Newcastle is the destination for feature racing on Friday afternoon, where the Group 3 Newcastle Gold Cup (2300m) headlines proceedings on an eight-race program. Clear skies will mirror the perfect Good 4 track rating, and with the rail in its true position, there will be no excuses for fancied runners throughout the day. The first race on Newcastle Gold Cup Day 2025 is set to jump at 1pm AEST. Newcastle Gold Cup tip: Soul Of Spain Soul Of Spain is a progressive stayer peaking into this 2300m test with a light weight and an ideal draw in gate one. He’s been strong through the line at 1680m–2020m this prep and profiles to improve again third run in for Chris Waller. With Zac Lloyd riding and just 54kg, he maps to park behind the leaders, save ground, and angle off into clear air turning for home. If the tempo is genuine, his sustained closing work can prove the difference against more exposed yardsticks. Newcastle Gold Cup Race 6 – #9 Soul Of Spain (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Zac Lloyd (54kg) Tibbie Stakes tip: Oh Diamond Lil Freshened and targeted at the 1400m of the Group 3 Tibbie Stakes, Oh Diamond Lil brings peak provincial/city figures and a slick September 9 trial to set up perfectly here. She draws to stalk from barrier seven under Rachel King and carries a comfortable 55kg at set weights plus penalties. Her winter form at Randwick—particularly the July mile win—reads strongly for this grade, and she’s versatile enough to handle any tempo. With tactical speed and a neat turn of foot, the David Pfieffer-trained mare gets her chance to claim a Group 3 on the way to richer spring targets. Tibbie Stakes Race 5 – #5 Oh Diamond Lil (7) 5yo Mare | T: David Pfieffer | J: Rachel King (55kg) Cameron Handicap tip: Tavi Time Tavi Time returns to his pet range and gets a perfect platform to strike fresh enough in the Group 3 Cameron Handicap (1500m). A Group 3 Summer Cup winner and Scone Cup hero last season, Tavi Time owns a superb Newcastle record and thrives at 1400–1600m. From barrier seven with Jay Ford aboard, expect him to land just off the speed and blend into the race before the bend. With proven class at this level and strong first-up stats, he should be savaging the line late. Cameron Handicap Race 7 – #1 Tavi Time (7) 6yo Gelding | T: Kris Lees | J: Jay Ford (59kg) Best Bet: Jagerbomb (NZ) Jagerbomb brings the right platform into the 1850m Class 1 & Maiden after a strong breakthrough over the mile last start. From barrier five, Dylan Gibbons can have the three-year-old parked midfield with cover before building momentum from the 600m. He profiles to relish the step up in trip, carries a fair 57.5kg under the set weights, and his closing splits suggest there’s another figure in hand. With a tidy map and a stable that places them well at Newcastle, he looks the most reliable play on the card. Best Bet Race 1 – #3 Jagerbomb (5) 3yo Gelding | T: John O’Shea & Tom Charlton | J: Dylan Gibbons (57.5kg) Friday quaddie tips for Newcastle Newcastle quadrella selections September 19, 2025 3-5-6-10-20 4-7-9 1-3-6-9-19 3-4-5-11-15 Horse racing tips View the full article -
Correct that I prefer to get value but You also have to do the homework as you well know! still overseas but coming to an end, and csn trll you that looking forward to my decent bed rather than the hard slabs they give you in Europe and call beds! Might be ok if you're 20 stone but not when you aren’t lol! Just had a squizz of the fields at Mot for the first time and geez they look very difficult and even. Good luck to everyone that has a go on them on Sunday, you deserve big payouts lol.😂 -

Oh absolutely let’s scrap those awful big fields and go all-in on 8-horse processions where everyone gets a pat on the back and a ribbon for participation. Because clearly, what punters really crave is less value, fewer betting options, and $1.30 favourites jogging home in single-file. Forget turnover, forget trifectas that actually pay more than a loaf of bread, and forget any kind of liquidity in the pools. Who needs proper markets or real competition when we can stage glorified trials with field sizes so small you need binoculars just to spot a quinella? And yes — we should absolutely ensure no horse finishes with a "0" next to its name. Maybe we can throw in appearance money, a warm cocoa, and a voucher for emotional support. Because clearly the goal here isn’t competitive sport or sustainable wagering — it’s morale preservation for slow horses. Let’s also ignore the well-established fact that larger fields = more turnover = more stake money = more sustainability. Truth is the betting public doesn’t tune in for soft draws and walkovers. They want depth and a chance to find value all of which come from, you guessed it, bigger fields. So sure, we could run two days of cuddly 8-horse fields where everyone finishes 4th or better… or we could accept that racing is a competitive sport, not a community raffle. Some horses will finish last. That’s the game. But punters will still bet — and when they do, the industry survives. If what you say is the best option for harness racing, why is it that all the owners trainers absolutely flock to meetings like these and punters open their wallets to create the bigger pools. Actually the complete opposite! Give him a BK Dawn at $5.00 a place at Mot and Brodie would have been straight in to take the bookies to the cleaners back in the days when he could get on. -

The main two at value I had a nibble on were Amendment at 10s and the horse Blair Orange is driving in the first. I see that starting shorter on the day the way it ran home last start. Heavens Mark I think will start shorter than 8.50. Plenty of overs on horses paying 20+ too many to name. -
