Best from the Best – 23rd January 2026

Throughout the 2025/26 Launceston night season, Tasracing has compiled the best bets and best value (min $5) from some well-known Tasmanian racing judges.

2 units are applied for each best bet and 1 unit each-way for the best value. Measured at best tote/SP for win bets and mid tote for place.

Last week, only two of the 12 tipsters didn't hit the scoreboard, and Jason Witham continued to show he's a brilliant judge, landing his best value to take his profit to nearly 30 units for the season.
