Horse racing news/betting news
A fairly detailed news section containing the biggest stories, it?s up-to-date, free to use and registration-free. There?s maybe not enough for the anorak but most race lovers will be more than happy with the amount of news on show.

Market movers
A special section is provided on bettingzone.co.uk, it?s updated hourly and is supported in the build-up to races by Live Shows from the track.

Odds comparisons
Covered by oddschecker.com and, while it?s comprehensive, it?s somewhat compromised by the firm being owned by UK Betting plc ? which feature online bookies UK Betting and Totalbet within their stable.

Columnists
NH legend Steve Smith Eccles and Placepot expert/ InsideEdge regular Malcolm Boyle are the main columnists. Tips are paid for.

Results and fixtures
Fast results and later, full results. No archives but there is a search section.

Tips
A wide range, some free but the more extensive premium services for racing, tennis, F1, football and golf must be bought.

Text and email alerts
SMS or email alerts for a price, with subscribers following up to 25 horses through a Nag Me service.

Commentary
The interactive Racing Centre has a Radio facility broadcasting live commentaries.

Stats
Full season stats for both jockeys and trainers, with 7- and 14-day versions offering a more recent perspective. Useful snippets include the day?s longest traveller.

Form
Guides on every meeting on a daily basis with a brief summary of runners? last outings.

General overview
A huge amount of news, reviews and data are easily found without registration and most ground is covered. Not as in-depth as some of the Racing Post but there?s more than enough to satisfy most serious punters. The Racing Centre keeps you updated with Live Shows and results.
