About Our Horse Racing Tips
HorseRacing.net brings together racing tips from more than 50 respected tipsters, journalists and analysts, including contributors from The Racing Post, The Sun and the Daily Mail. Alongside these household names, our own in-house team - led by Raceolly, Steve Chambers and Billy Grimshaw - provides fresh insight and daily selections for every major meeting.
This page highlights Raceolly’s latest picks as well as the most popular tips chosen across our full network of experts. If you’re looking for tips on a specific race, simply head to today’s racecards and open the race you’re interested in - all available tips appear directly beneath the jockey silks.
One of the most-visited sections of our site is the NAPs Table, a twice-yearly competition that tracks the profit and loss of every tipster to a £1 stake across the Flat and Jumps seasons. It’s the quickest way to see which experts are in form. Our Lucky 15 Tips page is another standout favourite, showcasing a four-horse multiple that covers singles, doubles, trebles and an accumulator - a popular bet type with the potential for sizeable returns from a small outlay.
How to follow the racing tips
If you’re looking to get started with our free horse racing tips and place a bet yourself, follow the steps below and you’ll be clued up in no time.
Read the racecard
Before honing in on tips, be sure to familiarise yourself with our easy to access and use racecards. On this page for every race each day we show clearly each horse that has been tipped and by who.
Find your favourite tipster’s selection
If a tipster has selected a pick in a certain race, on HorseRacing.Net we will display clearly next to the horse’s name on the racecard or on our tips hub that a specific horse is the selection of your chosen expert.
Choose and sign in to or join your betting site
If you do not have an account with the bookmaker that is offering the best odds on your chosen tipster’s selection, it is easy to sign up through the links on HorseRacing.Net. If you are a punter who only has one account, it can prove massively beneficial to open a few more to bag yourself a bundle of free bets.
Head to the chosen betting site
On HorseRacing.Net we have made things as simple as possible for those who want to see their favourite tipster’s picks and bet on them at the best price instantly. All our odds displayed are clickable and once you click the fractional odds, you will be redirected to the chosen betting site with your selection in the betting slip.
Place your bet
Once you have gone to the betting site of your choosing with your tipster’s selection in your betslip, it’s time to deposit or fund your account. Once you have done this, enter the stake you wish to bet on the horse and hit place bet.
Types Of Horse Racing Tips
Our free horse racing tipsters offer an array of tips and picks across a range of different betting types — here’s a rundown of the most common.
Win
A win bet is the most straightforward type of bet you can make, as it’s simply a bet on which horse will win a particular race. If your pick crosses the finish line first, you’ll receive the specified payout. Win bets are generally less risky than other options as you’re only relying on one selection to come good.
Each Way
An each way bet is effectively two bets: the first being on the horse to win, and the second bet on the horse to place. The designated places vary across different races depending on the number of runners, but ‘placing’ typically refers to finishing in the top 2, 3, or 4. Horse racing tipsters may recommend an each way bet on the Grand National, for example, as there are lots of runners in a highly competitive race.
Double
Horse racing tipsters may also recommend a double bet. Here you’re betting on two horses to win two different races. For the bet to win, both selections have to come good. If one horse wins and the other is pipped to the post, you’ll lose the bet and your stake. Placing a double can be a good way to increase the potential payout if you’re betting on two favourites with short odds, for example.
Lucky 15
A Lucky 15 consists of four selections across 15 different bets: four singles, six doubles, four trebles, and a fourfold accumulator. Tipsters can recommend four horses for upcoming races and the Lucky 15 assembles them into multiple betting combinations. Punters choose a unit stake, let’s say £1, and the total cost will be 15 times this amount — £15 in this example. At a minimum, you’ll receive some return if one of your horses wins, thanks to the single bets. If more of your selections win, your winnings will increase.
Accumulator
An accumulator is a bet with four or more selections bundled into one. This can be a combination of different types of bets, such as wins and each way bets, but the accumulator only pays out if all of the selections are successful. As a result, accumulators typically carry greater risk but larger potential payouts.
How Our Tipsters Pick Their Horse Racing Tips
The tipsters featured on HorseRacing.net each bring their own approach to analysing a race, combining experience, data and specialist knowledge to identify the horses they believe have the strongest chance of winning. While styles differ - some prioritise the going, others focus on trainer patterns or pace angles - every selection is based on factors proven to influence performance.
Horse racing is driven by a wide range of variables, and expert analysis often involves weighing several of these together rather than relying on a single metric. Here are some of the key elements our tipsters commonly assess before putting forward a pick:
- Recent form and consistency
- Trainer form and stable trends
- Jockey bookings and current performance
- Age and overall profile of the horse
- Weight carried relative to rivals
- Course record and suitability to the track
- Proven ability at the race distance
- Headgear changes or equipment adjustments
Each tipster may emphasise these factors differently, but the goal is always the same: to highlight the horse most likely to run above expectations in the conditions on the day.
Popular Racing Tips Pages
Thanks to our vast ensemble of expert horse racing tipsters, we have tips for all the big races and festivals throughout the year. So, whether you’re into flat racing or jump racing, we’ve got something for you.
Cheltenham Festival
Part of the National Hunt jump racing calendar, Cheltenham is a four-day festival that takes place in Gloucestershire in March. The festival features several Grade I races such as the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Queen Mother Champion Chase, Stayers’ Hurdle, and Champion Hurdle. In terms of prize money, Cheltenham is second only to the Grand National. The festival usually coincides with Saint Patrick’s Day and is popular with Irish visitors, while Irish trainers have also been particularly successful in recent years. Its electric atmosphere is epitomised by the famous ‘Cheltenham roar’.
Cheltenham Gold Cup
The Cheltenham Gold Cup takes place during the Cheltenham Festival each March. The event is a steeplechase run over a distance of about 3 miles and 2½ furlongs, and is open to horses aged five years and over. It’s the most prestigious National Hunt event and the most valuable non-handicap chase in Britain — in 2023, the total prize fund was £625,000.
Grand National
The Grand National is the most valuable jump race in Europe, with a prize fund of £1 million. The event dates back to 1839 and is held at Aintree Racecourse in Merseyside. Runners compete in a handicap steeplechase over a distance of about 4 miles and 2½ furlongs. The course consists of two laps, with horses jumping over 30 fences before crossing the finish line. Broadcast live on free-to-air television since 1960, it’s an event that draws in many Brits who don’t normally watch or bet on horse racing, with many having a flutter once a year.
Epsom Derby
Also known as the Derby Stakes, the Epsom Derby is a Group 1 flat horse race open to three-year-old colts and fillies. Taking place at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey on the first Saturday of June each year, the distance covers 1 mile, 4 furlongs and 10 yards. The event was first run back in 1780 and is the most prestigious of the five British Classics — the long-standing horse races run during the traditional flat racing season.
Royal Ascot
The Royal Ascot is held at the Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire for five days every year in mid-June. It is known not only as a racing event but as one of high fashion and world-class entertainment. The most prestigious event of the Royal Scot is the Gold Cup, a flat race traditionally held on the third day of the meeting. Each day begins with the Royal Procession, where the monarch and other members of the Royal Family arrive along the track in horse-drawn landaus, before spending the day watching the races from the Royal Enclosure.
