About

It's what we do.

We understand the thrill of backing a winner. That moment when your research pays off, when your careful analysis leads to success - it's what drives every racing enthusiast. At The Racing List, we've transformed that passion into a systematic approach that helps you experience more of those winning moments.

Our dedicated racing analysts share one common goal: to bring clarity and confidence to your racing decisions. Through detailed statistical analysis and comprehensive race breakdowns, we help you navigate the complexities of horse racing with precision and purpose.

And this is how.

Our approach combines cutting-edge data analytics with deep racing expertise. Every selection is backed by our proprietary scoring system that analyzes over 30 different factors - from historical performance to course conditions. We don't just tell you what to back; we show you why.

Each morning, we review the day's racing, applying our proven methodology to identify the strongest statistical opportunities. We deliver clear, actionable insights that help you make informed decisions, backed by data you can trust. No hunches, no guesswork - just thoroughly researched, statistically sound analysis.

What sets us apart isn't just our selections—it's our entire philosophy of horse racing analysis. While traditional tipsters offer opinions, we provide a comprehensive analytical framework that examines every aspect of each race:

Deep Statistical Analysis: Every runner is evaluated through our proprietary scoring matrix, considering factors from historical performance to track conditions. This isn't about hunches—it's about hard data.
Complete Race Context: For each race, you'll receive detailed insights about every runner, not just our top picks. Understanding the entire field is crucial for making informed decisions.
Transparent Performance Metrics: We track all results against Starting Price (SP), deliberately choosing the most conservative measure to ensure our performance statistics reflect real-world outcomes.

The Sources Behind Our Insights

At The Racing List, our in-depth analysis is powered by data from a wide range of respected sources in the horse racing world. Each platform we use provides unique datasets that contribute to shaping our selections and summaries. These sources include:

Racing Post
Sky Racing
Timeform
Proform Racing
Racebase
The Racing API
British Horseracing Authority (BHA)
Horseracebase
Flat Stats

This range of data allows us to view each race from multiple perspectives. We combine information on form, going preferences, trainer and jockey stats, pace analysis, and much more to identify the statistically strongest horse in every race. Importantly, we never rely on just one dataset—it’s the combination of insights from all these sources that makes our analysis so comprehensive.

By leveraging these tools, we’re able to provide:

Daily Selections: The best statistically ranked horse for every race.
Top 5 Horses Today: A more focused list highlighting the strongest performers of the day, akin to what a tipster might offer—but still firmly rooted in data.
Comprehensive Summaries: Insight into every runner, helping you make informed decisions, even if betting isn’t your focus.

Our Scoring System: The Science Behind the Selections

We've developed a sophisticated scoring system that evaluates horses across multiple critical factors:

Course and distance form
Recent performance trends
Trainer and jockey statistics
Ground conditions and adaptability
Class level movements
Seasonal patterns

Each factor carries a weighted importance, creating a final score that ranks every runner. This systematic approach removes emotional bias and highlights opportunities that traditional analysis might miss.
