Plenty of market movers recorded in the horse racing world and a live market movers section for daily betting. Its strong links with major layers lets it record ante-post shifts as and when they happen.

Limited odds comparisons and a low-key emphasis. High-street big-hitters Ladbrokes, Coral and William Hill are missing from a list of eight that includes Bet Direct, Blue Square, Paddy Power and Sporting Odds.

Columnists
Columns are tip-based and mostly in-house from a trusted brand and newspaper.

There are no obvious horse following methods or alerts, but you can search the database for horses, jockeys, owners and trainers and call up statistics as required.

racingpost.co.uk contains a huge database of British and Irish statistics.

Form

General overview
An essential guide for horse-racing fanatics that skims the surface of most other sports as well. If you?re after sheer weight of information, then this site is hard to find fault with. Conversely, if you just want to know the basics, it can be a little daunting. There?s also room for improvement on the odds comparisons section.
