Racing Daily has officially been crowned the 2025–2026 Racing Post Champion Press Tipsters, marking a landmark achievement for a platform built entirely on passion and dedication.

From Personal Blog to Racing Voice

The story of Racing Daily begins in 2012, when Managing Director Rory launched a personal racing blog. At the time, it was more than just a hobby—it was a way to cope with personal health challenges, providing focus, structure, and an outlet through a love of horse racing.

From those humble beginnings, the platform has grown steadily into a respected and trusted voice for racing fans across the UK and Ireland.

Building on Success

This latest achievement comes just one year after Rory himself was crowned champion in the same competition—a milestone moment for the platform (The Jersey Evening Post's Rory Paddock scoops £4,000 jumps naps prize on dramatic final day | Racing Post). However, securing the title as a team elevates Racing Daily’s journey to an entirely new level, reflecting the collective effort behind the scenes.

A Dramatic Final Day

The competition concluded with a thrilling final day. Racing Daily entered in top position, but with only a narrow lead separating them from their closest challengers.

Behind the scenes, the team’s WhatsApp group was alive throughout the day—discussing permutations, analysing rival tipsters, and identifying the key horses that could influence the standings. Every race carried weight, and every result had the potential to change everything.

It was an intense and fitting conclusion to a highly competitive contest.

Doing It Differently

Racing Daily stands apart from many of its competitors.

No subscription fees
No paid tipping service
No bookmaker affiliations
No media backing

Everything produced is shared freely, driven purely by a love of racing and a commitment to the community.

Facing Criticism

The journey has not been without its challenges. The team has faced criticism on social media—often labelled as “amateurs” or referred to as the “do it for free brigade.” In some cases, they’ve even been criticised both for tipping winners and for not monetising their success.

Despite this, Racing Daily has remained consistent in its ethos and approach.

A Community Effort

A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who has supported Racing Daily over the past 14 years. What started as a one-man blog has grown into a genuine voice for racing fans across the UK and Ireland.

Most importantly, recognition must go to the team behind the platform—the individuals who provide daily content voluntarily, without financial incentive, purely for the love of the sport. They are the true stars of this success.

A Reward for Passion

Being crowned Champion Press Tipsters is more than just a title—it is validation of years of hard work, collaboration, and belief in doing things differently.

And perhaps it says it best: "Not bad for a bunch of amateurs?"
