Autumn racing
With over $30 million in prize money and over 40 Group races, in the 2019 Sydney Autumn Racing season we are enjoying Australia’s most exciting sporting event in March and April and, with exceptional quality racing still to come in the shape of The Championships from Royal Randwick over the first two weekends in April, there could not be a better time to sign up and play Swopstakes.
If you aren’t at the races, then simply tune into Sky Racing or Channel 7 on Saturday and make sure you keep an eye on how your tickets are doing with all the excitement that you can get from this new sweepstakes game. If you are already signed up why not refer a friend to join up and get yourself a few free credits to buy more tickets or perhaps you might use the credits to swop during the game itself whilst you go hunting to win the top prize.
About the carnival
The first two weekend’s racing in April come from Randwick starting on 6th April with Derby Day (Day One of The Championships), then the following week, the 13th April being Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day (Day Two of The Championships). What’s more, there is a final day of exceptional racing from Randwick, Schweppes All Aged Stakes Day which is on 20th April.
On the Friday prior to each of the 3 race days from Randwick, Swopstakes will be making available tickets to play their all new innovative sweepstakes game with real cash prizes for each week’s winner. Be sure to check back and keep an eye on how your tickets are performing on the race day and don’t forget you can swop or cash out throughout the meeting. Whilst racing is set to say farewell to Winx, which horses should you be looking out for at this year’s Championships and ahead into the spring later in the year?
Winx - the mighty mare
It is impossible to write about the Sydney Autumn Carnival without giving a mention to Winx. Having recently broken the world record of most Group 1 wins the mare looks set to end her career at Randwick with her finale coming in the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes over 2000 metres on Saturday 13th April. The records and stats on her career have been endless repeated as such that most people across Australia are going to remember her form and figures almost as well as people recall Sir Donald Bradman’s test batting average. The 7-year-old mare has well over $20 million in prize money to go with her 30+consecutive wins and 4 Cox Plates victories. Having proved herself in Australia, there is little more for her to achieve and it will be fitting to see her bow out at Randwick at the scene of most her successes.
Your racing sweepstake strategy
- Buy your Swopstakes tickets in advance (you can purchase at least 1 day before the event)
- Check out your tickets to see what potential outcomes you hold in each race (remember, in every event, there will definitely be 1 winner)
- Survive your way through the rounds, check the percentage gauge, will you stick with what you have or use some tactics
- Buy more tickets from the pool or the bank if you feel you need some additional options in the latter stages of the event
- Don't like what you've got? Swop for some better options
- Alternatively, cut your losses and cash out for a price
- Watch a great day of racing and hope you made the right decisions along the way!
