Saturday’s Elite Racing horse racing tips saw another solid winning day for Elite Combo, + 9.2% added to bank.
We were left a bit flat with the final bet, Zaphod at $13, looking the winner but being run down by one late.
It could have been a 22% gain in one day!
That’s how quickly a winning surge can grow the bank.
Again, there were several Multi collects in Mel and Syd including the $13,616 first four in R3 at Caulfield.
Elite Ratings Raceday Pro-Sheets
We often get queries as to what the headings and abbreviations on the raceday pro-sheets mean.
This is covered in the intro pak but to make sure that we are all on the same page, here is an excerpt from the intro-pak.
Elite Intro-Pak 2026– PDF
“…The Elite-Ratings rating sheets have been produced since 1987 and provide a wealth of information.
They are used by professional punters and bookmakers for that extra information that is quite often only uncovered by the Elite Racing Form Analysis process.
Here is what you see on the Race-day Pro-Sheet which is attached to your raceday email as well as uploaded to the members’ page in Excel and Pdf versions.
Raceday Pro-Sheet Example:

Abbreviations

- Green = Definite Winning Chance,

Often a combination of abbreviations is used. In that case, the first mentioned abbreviation is most likely, but the second abbreviation is possible. Eg;
