How to bet on Aussie racing from overseas
Can't get your punt on in Australia and you're really keen to have a crack at Kermadec in the Caulfield Stakes or Vanbrugh in the Spring Champion Stakes?
Never fear, there are plenty of bookies across the country who can give you odds on the big races.
For our mates across the ditch in New Zealand we recommend taking advantage of Sportsbet New Zealand's offerings on the Aussie horse racing. While Sportsbet has operated in New Zealand for a few years now they recently upped the anti with their promotions over there.
In Europe, you can't go wrong with UK powerhouses WilliamHill.com or bet365.co.uk. There has been significant interest in Australian racing from the Europeans in recent times with the success of horses like last year's Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist, which showed the strength of German stayers.
Recently Bodog88, which does most of its business in China, added Aussie horse racing and greyhound racing to its impressive global markets. You can also see which of Australia's bookies accept punters from your country right here.
