Hendo’s Hoodoos – Saturday’s Best Omen Bets

Looking for Saturday’s best hoodoo racing bets? Ladbrokes have you covered with our insider weekly omen tips!

Welcome punters to the very first edition of Hendo’s Hoodoo Bets – our new weekly deep dive into the statistically superstitious world of omen betting.

Ladbrokes’ own “Value Whisperer”, Lucy Henderson, is a gun for tipping roughies in her Hendo’s Hopefuls and now she’s here for your best weekly hoodoo bets on Saturday.

Admit it, we’ve all picked a horse just because it had the same name as our old dog Buckaroo, or maybe those famous Royal Blue Godolphin silks just happened to match your favourite socks.

Sure, the form guide says one thing, but sometimes you just have to trust your gut or maybe the universe is trying to tell you something.

So, every week, we ignore the sectional times, check out the stars, circle a date, and let names and pure vibes lead us to our next winner.

Take the heavy hitting form analysis out of your betting and enjoy the pressure-free world of hoodoo betting on the ponies.

Let’s get straight to it – this week, the stars are lining up for racing fans.

We’ve shed off the Year of the Snake and welcomed in the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse, a cycle that only rolls around every 60 years.

In Chinese astrology, the Fire Horse is all about energy, speed, and a wild streak.

Honestly, isn’t that exactly what you want when you’re picking your Saturday racing selections?

If you’re looking for a sign from above (or just a reason to back that 20/1 shot with the catchy name), we’ve scoured the nation’s form to find the runners whose names are practically written in the red envelopes.

From Caulfield to Ascot, here are Hendo’s best Fire Horse omen bets to help you start the New Year with a bang!

Caulfield

Caulfield is host to a bumper Blue Diamond Stakes Day card featuring a triple-shot of Group 1 racing action plus a few very appealing hoodoo bets to lock in!

Rosehill

Saturday’s other major metropolitan meeting is Sydney’s Silver Slipper Day line-up where the Golden Slipper and Randwick Guineas fancies do battle in the meeting’s features, but we’ve also found some attractive omen betting plays for the punters!

Brisbane starts to gear up towards the mid-year Winter Carnival with a strong Doomben race card, and we’ve uncovered a couple of excellent hoodoo bets for the Brisvegas race fans!

Morphettville

South Australia’s Saturday meeting at Morphettville is littered with outstanding omen bets for those keeping an eye on the Lunar New Year theme!

Over on the west coast Ascot is host to a strong Saturday race card and we think some of the week’s best omen bets are hiding over in WA!
