Mick’s Mail Winners: Sandown (Hillside) 24/05/25

A tough day at the office on Saturday with our bets all being around the mark but with little success.

We are still showing a 22.39% POT for the year. A $20 per unit investment is returning a profit of $2114.

It was one of those Saturdays where the results didn’t quite go our way. Mick’s Mail at Sandown Hillside on 24 May had our picks looking sharp but ultimately falling just short. Despite the narrow misses, the P&L remains healthy: a 22.39 % POT rolling into a tidy $2,114 profit on a $20-per-unit strategy. That’s the kind of resilient performance that gives you pause, even on an “almost” kind of day.

Still, those disappointments deliver lessons and that’s where genuine Racing Tips gain real value. Reviewing the form: the track was soft early, upgrading to Good 4 mid-card; Miss Ole landed the opener in a slick 0:56.64, followed closely by Saluted and Espana. Not flashy, but dependable contenders to keep on your radar next time.

For punters who love the ‘why’ behind the pick, tuning into Racing Podcasts adds context beyond the numbers. Hearing chatter about how certain trainers prep sprinters for soft tracks or how jockey bookings shift as meetings approach those anecdotes help shape sharper Horse Racing Tips when form is tight.

Looking ahead to Caulfield this Saturday, the plan is to lean on those insights. If you’ve got a podcast that breaks down Caulfield’s quirks or trainer patterns, that’s worth a listen. Match that with raw stats from recent runs, and you’re building something sturdily human and smart, not just a numbers game.

To wrap up:

• Racing Tips aren’t just picks they’re stories of form, track condition, and momentum.

• A close-run result at Sandown Hillside doesn’t defeat strategy it refines it.

• Combining race data with the narrative from Racing Podcasts can elevate your Horse Racing Tips from guesswork to insight.

Here’s to turning narrow misses into learned edges and keeping the human element alive in every racing insight.

Onto Caulfield this Saturday.
