Horsham Cup Day racing tips & quaddie | October 16, 2022
| What | Horsham Cup Day |
| Where | Horsham Racecourse – Central Park, Horsham VIC 3400 |
| When | Sunday, October 16, 2022 |
| First Race | 1:15pm AEDT |
Weather permitting, racing heads to western Victoria on Sunday afternoon for the Horsham Cup meeting. With the deluge of rain the state has been experiencing, the Horsham track is currently a Heavy 10 for racing. The rail sticks to the true position and racing is set to commence at 1:15pm AEDT.
Horsham Cup Top Tip: Teewaters
The Horsham Cup (2100m) is the headline event on Sunday and we expect the Archie Alexander-trained Teewaters to walk away with main portion of the $60,000 on offer. The four-year-old gelding is an out and out stayer and has been racing in much harder company than what he faces on Sunday. The Dundeel gelding is bred to handle the conditions and from barrier 11, if Declan Bates can have this bloke settled in the one-one throughout, he has the runs on the board to suggest he will be hard to beat. He has a runner-up effort to his name in his sole go on Heavy going and at $19 with some online betting sites, we’re happy to side with Teewaters in the Horsham Cup at a big price.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#1 Teewaters (11)
4yo Gelding | T: Archie Alexander | J: Declan Bates (61kg)
Best Bet at Horsham: Vitruvius
Having his first start for the Nick Ryan yard, the formerly Paul Preusker-trained Vitruvius is a clear best bet of the day at Horsham as long as he handles the 62kg first-up. It is Brett Prebble’s sole ride out at Horsham and based on his Flemington jumpout on October 7 on a Heavy 8, he looks the one they have to beat. He was racing in much harder company last campaign and in a BM100 back in May was only beaten four-lengths by subsequent Group 1 winner Tuvalu and Group 1 placegetter Le Don De Vie. Vitruvius is yet to miss the top three in four fresh runs and if he is anywhere near his best, the $4 on offer with online bookmakers looks to be a great price to load into.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#4 Vitruvius (2)
5yo Gelding | T: Nick Ryan | J: Brett Prebble (62kg)
Next Best Bet at Horsham: Overkill
The Denis Daffy-trained Overkill was an impressive winner at Hamilton first-up on October 8 on a Heavy 10 and a repeat effort on Sunday should see him prove too hard to catch. He managed to lead throughout un that occasion under Jack Hill and despite going up 2kg, he regains the services of John Allen for this assignment. It is always an advantage to be close to the speed at Horsham and from barrier four, we expect Allen to hold the rail, have this bloke kick on the bend and Overkill should be sending us home a winner at a nice price.
Next Best
Race 8 – 
#10 Overkill (4)
6yo Gelding | T: Denis Daffy | J: John Allen (58.5kg)
