You can find tomorrow's horse racing racecards and runners on racecard websites such as Racing Post, At The Races and Sporting Life, which list the next day's meetings. Tomorrow's racecards may show entries (horses that could run) rather than final declared runners, and the field can still change before the off. This guide explains where to look in the UK and Ireland, the difference between entries and declarations, and what to check before you rely on a racecard. It is delib

An each-way bet is two equal bets in one: a win bet on the horse to finish first, and a place bet on it to finish in a qualifying place. It costs double the unit stake. For example, a £5 each-way bet costs £10, with £5 on the win and £5 on the place. This guide explains how each-way bets pay out, how place terms and the number of places work, and how to read the terms before you bet. The examples are simplified illustrations, not selections or promises of profit, and you must

A value bet exists when your estimated chance of winning is greater than the probability implied by the available odds. This Racing Daily guide explains how Can You Find Value Bets in Horse Racing in practical terms for UK readers. Rather than treating a headline, price or prediction as sufficient evidence, it sets out what to check, how to interpret the information and where mistakes arise. Racing is a sport of uncertainty: even a carefully reasoned view can be wrong on the

The jumps season is well underway and with a Grade 1 contest and hot handicaps to get stuck into we tackle all the live action on ITV this Saturday. 13:10 WETHERBY Palamon went close in a similar contest at Plumpton when last seen and looks set to go close once more. Considering he represents the Skelton duo of Harry and Dan he’s going to attract market support but he may find one too good once again. The one that gets our vote won a Class 2 race last time out and drops into

The 2027 Cheltenham Festival runs from Tuesday 16 March to Friday 19 March 2027 at Cheltenham Racecourse, with seven races on each of the four days: 28 in all. On the Jockey Club's event schedule, gates open at 10.30am, the first race is at 1.20pm and the last is at 5.20pm. This guide gives you the dates, the name of each day, and the race-by-race order with start times, so you can plan your viewing or your trip. Times and race details can change before the meeting, so use it

UK horse racing odds show how much you could win compared with your stake, and they imply a probability that the horse wins. At 5/2 (3.5 in decimal odds), a £10 winning bet returns £35 in total, and the price implies roughly a 28.6% chance. Odds are the bookmaker's price, not the horse's true chance. This guide explains fractional and decimal odds, how to convert them, what implied probability means, how bookmakers build in a margin, and why prices move. The examples are simp

Toby Darby heads to Keeneland for Future Stars Friday at the Breeders' Cup, with selections in all five juvenile Grade 1s as the next generation of stars take centre stage. (All race times UK GMT) 18:55 KEENELAND The Breeders' Cup gets under way with the Juvenile Turf Sprint, and Libertango is a deserving favourite after an excellent season for George Boughey. The Albany and Lowther winner is the only filly to have beaten Sun Goddess this year and was just a length behind her

Dean Kilbryde takes a look through the best of Friday's action and finds three runners from Wetherby worth following to round off the working week with some winners. 14:25 WETHERBY Just the four runners yet an intriguing contest. Service Minimum could only manage third on seasonal reappearance, travelling nicely into the race but finding little when asked and finishing eight lengths behind the eventual winner. He carries top-weight again here, however is aided by the 10lbs c

A NAP is a tipster’s strongest selection of the day, not a promise that it will win. This Racing Daily guide explains what Is a NAP in Horse Racing and How Is It Selected in practical terms for UK readers. Rather than treating a headline, price or prediction as sufficient evidence, it sets out what to check, how to interpret the information and where mistakes arise. Racing is a sport of uncertainty: even a carefully reasoned view can be wrong on the day. Use the examples belo

Alan Morris heads to Stratford and Southwell for the best of his bets this Thursday with a trio of tips he feels are worth following. 15:50 STRATFORD Pescatorius showed a good attitude to win over a trip short of his best at Stratford and is a fit and in-form consistent horse for the grade and rating. Moor End and One Last Glance look to be future winners alongside Ithaka and any strength in the market could indicate they are ready to go. PESCATORIUS (WIN) 19:30 SOUTHWELL A

To bet on horse racing for the first time, choose a bookmaker licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, pick a race and a simple win bet, set a stake you can afford to lose, and check the odds and potential return before you confirm. This guide walks through each step in plain English. You must be 18 or over to bet in the UK. Racing is unpredictable, so no guide, tipster or system can guarantee a winner. The examples below are simplified illustrations of how bets work, not sele

Picking a horse starts with assessing its chance relative to its odds, not identifying an apparently certain winner. This Racing Daily guide explains how Do You Pick a Winning Horse in Horse Racing in practical terms for UK readers. Rather than treating a headline, price or prediction as sufficient evidence, it sets out what to check, how to interpret the information and where mistakes arise. Racing is a sport of uncertainty: even a carefully reasoned view can be wrong on the

Liam Hall previews all the action this Wednesday with selections from several different meetings. 13:21 NEWTON ABBOT Vango Can Go proved to be a very smart bumper recruit for Dan Skelton, should be able to reach a similair level at the very least over hurdles, Harry Skelton takes over for the first time and should have no issues getting off the mark. Crystal Orchard has ran well in defeats without really looking good enough to win, may need to find an easier one than this to

The complete 2027 UK horse racing fixtures calendar is published by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). It announced the list on 3 September 2026, with 1,440 fixtures scheduled, and it is available as a PDF and an Excel file on the BHA website. For Ireland, Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) published its 2027 plan on 24 September 2026, with 396 meetings. This guide explains where to find the official lists, how to use them to plan a season or a day at the races, and why fixture

To find out which horse racing meetings are on today in the UK, check a live fixture list or racecard site for today's date, then confirm again close to the first race. Meetings can be abandoned, delayed or changed because of weather, track inspections and non-runners. This guide explains where to look in the UK and Ireland, what to check on a racecard, and why a fixture that is advertised in the morning may not run. It is deliberately not a list of today's meetings, because

Racing tips are opinions about likely race outcomes, usually informed by form, conditions, pace, price and connections. They are not guarantees. This Racing Daily guide explains how Do Horse Racing Tips Work and How Reliable Are They in practical terms for UK readers. Rather than treating a headline, price or prediction as sufficient evidence, it sets out what to check, how to interpret the information and where mistakes arise. Racing is a sport of uncertainty: even a careful

Pundit John Arnold takes the reins with Tuesday's tips as he heads to Bangor-On-Dee for his best bets. 15:46 BANGOR-ON-DEE Donald McCain's Inedit D'Amour finished ahead of a pair of next time out winners when he was second upon his return at Uttoxeter three weeks ago and he looks the pick here in testing conditions. Laristote and Riveria Walk are lively contenders both tackling larger obstacles for the first time. INEDIT D'AMOUR (WIN) 16:16 BANGOR-ON-DEE Soldier for Glor

Alan Morris returns with more hotlist additions as we ease past the middle of October. FIREBALL FRENZY (S EDMUNDS) Fireball Frenzy ran well for a long way after 707 days off at Ffos Las on the usual tough ground conditions at the course. She won a point to point at Dromahane on debut from the interesting handicap prospect Funny Hunny, (who was one place ahead of her at the West Wales venue this week). She has retained her novice status as a mare and can hopefully progress fr

Matt Polley heads to Kempton for his best bets to kick-start the week as he pinpoints two runners worth following. 18:45 KEMPTON Fight Your Corner must be quite a difficult horse to train for some reason, with only six races under his belt at the age of five. He clearly has a fair amount of ability, and if all is well, he should run really well. Loblolly is consistent, but probably in the grip of the handicapper. A chance is taken with Gilet. He’s run some decent races in d

Sunday's ITV Racing action offers a fascinating afternoon of National Hunt racing from Aintree and Market Rasen, a one-off visit to Galway, Ireland, alongside an intriguing trip to Italy for Group 2 action at San Siro where a jumping superstar aims to claim Group race success on the flat. 13:35 MARKET RASEN Perhaps an uninspiring selection at the current odds, but Don Dandy looks a worthy favourite following his victory last time out. With just seven runners heading to post,
