Warwick Farm Racing Tips 24 June — can Waller’s army land one?
There’s one unavoidable storyline on this Warwick Farm card: Chris Waller has runners everywhere you look, but the track itself hasn’t been his personal ATM. He’s had plenty of bullets here historically, yet the strike-rate at the Farm sits a lot lower than many punters assume. That’s the kind of angle that makes a meeting worth playing properly, because it stops you from blindly trusting the biggest stable and forces you to bet race shape and placement.
We’ve got three races on the page from Warwick Farm on turf, all at 1203 metres, and two of them are 2yo handicaps where the map matters as much as the talent. These Warwick Farm racing tips are written for the busy punter: who I like, who can beat them, and what I’d actually do with my money when the fields are full of lightly raced types and first-starters.
Warwick Farm — the setup
Same trip all day, which simplifies things and makes barrier and intent the two big tells. For the 2yos, you’re looking for a draw that keeps them out of trouble and a rider who can make decisions early, because these are the races where hesitation turns into traffic.
Course form is thin among today’s runners, which is normal for winter 2yo races and maidens. The one exception worth filing away is Farfetched, who has placed on his only visit to Warwick Farm.

Race-by-race tips
Race 1: Hyland Race Colours Hcp — 12:50, 1203m
The market will probably try to make this a Waller flex because he’s got numbers, but I’m siding with the filly who’s already proven she can do the job. Pin Up Sheila (gate 3) comes here off a win and that matters in these baby races where half the field is still learning how to race. Dylan Gibbons is a positive booking too; he wins one in five rides at Warwick Farm and he’s good at giving young horses a clean, confident run.
From gate 3 she maps to land in the first few without burning petrol. That’s a huge edge over the ones drawn wider who might have to get dragged back, then ask a 2yo to sprint into gaps.
The danger is Scuro Star (gate 7). Peter Snowden brings two and he’s a solid Warwick Farm operator. Scuro Star has also won and if Adkins finds the right back to follow across, that’s the horse with the upside to go past late.
Staking: Win bet Pin Up Sheila. If you’re playing a quinella, save with Scuro Star rather than trying to be too clever in a race where the debutants can jump anything from lengths above to lengths below expectation.
Race 2: Asahi Super Dry Hcp — 13:25, 1203m
Here’s the puzzle: do you take the upside of the Waller brigade, or do you take the map and the stable that turns Warwick Farm into a habit? I’m leaning to Spain (gate 2) for Waterhouse and Bott with Tim Clark. It’s a simple read but it’s a strong one. This stable wins about a third of its races at Warwick Farm and places almost two in three, and Clark himself strikes at 23.68% here while hitting the frame 47.37% of the time. When you’re guessing who improves most as a 2yo, that sort of repeatable competence is worth plenty.
Spain’s draw gives Clark options. If it’s a clean beginning, he can hold a forward spot and make it hard for the wide runners to build momentum. If they overdo it early, he can sit one pair back and let the race come to him. Either way, gate 2 is the kind of lane you want at 1203 metres.
The obvious threat is Klocke (gate 7), the Waller runner with a second next to the name. A Hyeronimus is an excellent Warwick Farm rider for this sort of race too, placing in 60.87% of his rides here. If Klocke gets cover without fighting the jockey, it can be the one that pounces.
Staking: Spain to win. If Spain is a fair price and you’re building a multi, this is the best “banker style” leg on the page because it leans on stable and rider patterns that have real volume behind them.

Race 3: Drinkwise Mdn Plate — 14:00, 1203m
This is the race where I want to see intent more than I want to pretend I’ve got a read on every maiden in the book. With that said, I’m prepared to back Farfetched (gate 4). He’s the one with the clearest exposed profile and he’s been around the mark with form figures of 2-3-5. Waterhouse and Bott know how to win these midweek maidens at this track, and the barrier gives Regan Bayliss a chance to keep him out of the mess.
There’s also a small Warwick Farm tick: Farfetched has placed on his only start at the course. That’s not enough to call him anything, but it tells you he handles the circuit and doesn’t get lost here.
The danger is Zoufame (gate 5) for Bjorn Baker with Kerrin McEvoy. The form line reads 2-3 and that usually wins plenty of these if the horse takes even a small step. McEvoy’s Warwick Farm numbers aren’t sparkling, but he’s a professional at giving a horse every chance, and this isn’t the sort of race you want to be overconfident in.
Staking: Each-way Farfetched if the price holds up, because maiden racing rewards the horses that keep turning up and running to their mark. If he’s too short, I’d rather watch and learn for next start.
The plays
If I’m keeping it tight, I’m playing the meeting through the stable and rider patterns that actually repeat at this venue. The best bet is Spain in Race 2 (13:25). Waterhouse and Bott win 16 from 49 at Warwick Farm and place 31, and Tim Clark is the jockey on the card with the most proven success here (9 wins from 38). With gate 2 at 1203 metres, the run should be uncomplicated.
The value angle comes in Race 1 with Pin Up Sheila (12:50). In 2yo races, I’ll pay for demonstrated finishing power and a soft draw. Gate 3 and a last-start win is the kind of profile that often starts shorter than it should, but it’s usually the right favourite.
The “safe multi” leg is still Spain. The best each-way look is Farfetched in the maiden at 14:00 because he’s had a look at Warwick Farm and he keeps landing in the fight.
Course angle to carry forward: when you’re betting Warwick Farm, treat Waller runners as individuals rather than a blanket stable push. He has volume here, but Waterhouse and Bott convert that volume into wins far more often.
Next time you see Clark land gate 1-4 over this trip at the Farm, don’t overthink it. That’s a setup you can keep backing.
FAQ
What time does racing start at Warwick Farm today?
Racing at Warwick Farm starts at 12:50 with the Hyland Race Colours Handicap over 1203 metres.
Who are the top jockeys and trainers at Warwick Farm on today’s card?
On the jockey front, Tim Clark is the standout on track record: 38 rides at Warwick Farm for 9 wins and 18 placings. N Rawiller also rides the track well with 7 wins from 30 and 15 placings. For trainers, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott own the best meaningful Warwick Farm profile in the data: 49 runners for 16 wins and 31 placings.
What are the best bets at Warwick Farm today?
My Warwick Farm best bets are Spain (Race 2, 13:25) as the main play, with Pin Up Sheila (Race 1, 12:50) as the next-best win bet. If you want a safer each-way profile, Farfetched (Race 3, 14:00) appeals off consistent form and a course placing on his only Warwick Farm run.
Where can I find the best odds for Warwick Farm races?
Prices move quickly in these 2yo races, so the best approach is to compare Warwick Farm odds across a few bookies right before you bet. If you’re using a bookmaker app, check the win market close to jump, then lock in the best price you can get for Spain (13:25) and Pin Up Sheila (12:50).
Why are there so many Chris Waller runners and should I follow them?
Waller does have a stack of runners across the meeting, including multiple debutants. The key is not to treat that as a free pass. His long-term Warwick Farm record in the supplied stats is 107 runners for 6 wins and 39 placings, which is fine, but it’s not the automatic dominance many punters assume. I’m happier backing the Waller horses when the map and the exposed form line up, like Klocke in Race 2 as the main danger to Spain.
