Best from the Best – 9th 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.

It's the first Launceston meeting in close to a month on Friday night. Jason Witham continued his good form on Conquering night with a value winner, and has a 78% profit for the season.
