The BMW is a hugely anticipated race held at Sydney’s Rosehill Racecourse in April. Offering a lucrative $2.25 million in prize money, The BMW attracts the best stayers in the country to compete in the weight-for-age event.
Taking place on the Golden Slipper Day, the Group 1 BMW Stakes runs alongside three other Group 1 races being the Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m), the George Ryder Stakes (1500m) and the Queen of the Turf Stakes (1500m), providing a thrilling day of racing. The event also attracts horses from New Zealand eager to win the 2,400 metre race.
The BMW Stakes is preceded by the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes, a 2000m weight-for-age event which many trainers use as a warm up to The BMW. The Ranvet Stakes is a good race to study the form of horses coming into the elite BMW Stakes.
Betting on The BMW is an awesome experience with the race attracting some of the best stayers from around the country. Due to the high quality of horses, the race also attracts a lot of punters which are eager to wager larger betting amounts on the $2.25 million event. However this should not deter novice punters who are equally as valued by bookmakers as the high rollers. Deciding on which bet type to pick is normally determined the punters’ level of betting experience. While novices stick to the simple win or place bets, the more confident punters can wager on exotic bets including Quinellas and Trifectas.
Straight bets - Win (which horse will finish first)
Place (horse must place first or second)
Show (must place in top three)
Across the board wager (horse will take either of the first three places).
Quinella – Choosing two horses in no specific order to win first and second placings. Although the punter has good odds, a quinella will pay less than a trifecta.
Exacta or Perfecta – The punter must choose which horses will win first and second place in the correct order.
Trifecta – Picking the first three winning horses in the correct order.
Box trifecta – First three horses in any order.
Standout trifecta – Picking the winner and then the next two horses in any order.
Superfecta – Same as trifecta plus the fourth placed horse.
