Telegraph Racing Tips

After the media experts had an absolute fill-up June, the pro punters were the dominant force in July. They clean-swept the podium for cash profit, and were only edged out by a regular punter in the Profit on Turnover (POT) category. A few talented media tipsters weren't all that far behind, with one of our resident tipsters also featuring prominently.  Read on to discover all of July's top performers.   Best Horse Racing Tipster: Highest POT Claiming the top gong and the $500 prize in our monthly competition was Tasmanian punter Samuel2.  Best racing tipsters in July    This bloke clocked off with a thumping 156% POT after bagging 9 winners at a huge average price of $8.82. There were a couple of standouts, including $20 pop Brew Horse at Hobart on the 4th, and $16.70 shot Don'tbuckme Off at Hobart on the 25th. After such an impressive month, Samuel2 has emerged as one of the best options for any Tasmanian tips.

These phenomenal numbers resulted in a 78% POT.  Cracking stuff.   The bronze went to fellow pro punter Ochiltwig, after he bagged a 66% POT.  This South Australian found stacks of value, with his 11 winners saluting at an average price of $6.77. Ochiltwig made plenty of inroads on the last day of the month, finding 5 winners. This included $9.90 shot Tamerlane in Race 1 at Randwick, and $11.50 hope Zapateo in in the second at The Valley. What a way to end the month.   Best Horse Racing Tipster: Highest Cash Profit Looking at the cash profit category and it was pro punter Toptipswednesday who had the best of it.  The Bendigo local closed the book on July with an outrageous $11,360 from $100 win bets. This was after 36 of this pro's winners greeted the judge at a fat average price of $9.52. This haul saw Toptipswednesday finish the month with a very respectable 50% POT.   Coming home next after his tips generated no less than $9,250 in cash profit was Mattina.  Also hailing from Victoria, this pro punter jagged 19 winners at a mammoth average price of $14.45. With his tips also generating $17k in cash profit over the past 180 days, it's no surprise that Mattina is listed as a pro.

This pro punter ended up with $7,400 in cash profit, thanks to a whopping 64 winners at an average price of $4.73. On top of that, PhantomTipper has also dished up four winning weeks on the bounce.

Both the media experts and punters had success this week, with both groups well represented at the top end of the POT leaderboard. Best horse racing tipsters this week   Kicking away at the summit was racing journo and form analyst Mitchell Hamilton.  Hamilton provides his tips under the Telegraph Racing banner, typically one or two Victorian meets per week. This time he starred on the big stage, after steering his followers into a mouth-watering 451% Profit on Turnover (POT) at Flemington on Saturday. It was a tough card for most, but Hamilton managed to jag 2 winners including $44 pop Yulong Storm. This haul took Hamilton's 30-day POT to 207%. He's flying. Mitchell Hamilton had a field day at Flemington   The pro punters showed their class this week, led by JustWins.   The Sunny Coast resident tipped with sensational accuracy, nailing 8 of his 13 tips. Given they also got up at an average price of $6.62, this was a special effort. Not only did this pro dish up a 308% POT, but he recorded his third straight winning week at Flemington in the process. One to keep tabs on. JustWins is flying at HQ   The other pro punter to tip his socks off was Sydneysider Gary Monahan.  One of the site's best at finding a winner at odds, Monahan kept that trend going. His 3 winners included $44 shot Yulong Storm at headquarters, as well as $12.30 hope Chassis earlier on the card. A cracking effort that saw Monahan clock off with a bumper 249% POT. Punters who love tipping roughies will be all over Monahan's next tips. Especially when they learn that majority of his winners have started in the $12+ odds range. Gary Monahan knows how to find a roughie   Back to the media experts, and Terry Leighton tipped up a storm. The podcast host and form guru from WA was all over Saturday's Belmont card. He bagged 4 winners from just 7 tips, including two of his best bets: Baronova ($5.60) and True Attraction ($2.60). Once you factor in a double stake for these best bets, Leighton finished up with a fat 158% POT.   Rounding out the top ten was none other than our resident Melbourne racing expert Michael Manley.  The veteran journo and form analyst fired at Flemington on Saturday. He nabbed 3 of the day's winners, including $9 shot Seiners Express in the last. This drove a 99% POT for Manley's followers, who are sure to be back for more after this showing.   Harness and Greyhound tipsters of the week The pick of the crop on the trots leaderboard was one of the code's most recognised voices, Dan Mielicki. The race caller for RSN cleaned up at Melton and Ballarat, with 4 winners at each meet. All up, these 8 winners saluted at a superb strike rate of 44% and an average price of $4.01. This resulted in a meaty 78% POT for Mielicki and his followers.   It was another race caller who came out on top on the greyhound leaderboard. That honour fell to SKY Racing's Joe Dyer, who calls and tips the dogs up at Townsville. And he's been doing a pretty good job of it too, currently boasting a three-month winning streak at the track. Joe Dyer is on fire   This week he tipped 10 winners at a strike rate of 43% and an average price of $4.28. This meant a ripping 86% POT for Dyer and his fans.
