What Today’s Racecards Can Tell Us
Horse racing cards are essential for punters looking to place a bet and each acts as a guide to what’s happening in UK and Irish racing. We use this information, most importantly, to deliver accurate horse racing tips and predictions throughout the year.
Here’s what you can find out from each card, in detail.
- Race Times & Details – All races have allotted start times on a card and may even be named. In addition, some races may differ in prominence and even carry the names of sponsors like Paddy Power or JCB.
- Form – A horse’s form is available to view next to/near its name and can act as a window into their quality. Form reveals a horse’s past performance and future potential, making it necessary for judging class.
- Horse Background & Summary – While form and racing results are undoubtedly important, so are age, weight, and ratings. Furthermore, stall numbers (flat racing), saddlecloths, and blinkers are also noted on most horse racing cards. Expected performance summaries or horse racing tips could also be available to view on selected races.
- Jockey Info – You’ll find all jockey’s names on racecards, alongside their individual silks and colours. These allow spectators and commentators to pick them out from the rest of the runners in the pack more easily. Although rare, jockey summaries may be provided alongside stats.
- Betting Odds – Today’s racecards display the latest racing odds from top horse racing betting sites online. Odds are the easiest way to determine betting sentiment and may shorten or drift the closer we get to the start of the race. Contrarily, most horse racing cards for tomorrow may carry estimated betting odds.
Racecards Today – What’s On
The horse racing calendar differs from day to day but is typically consistent in the UK and Ireland. For instance, the National Hunt season – which involves horses jumping fences and ditches – comes to life between October and April. Conversely, the Flat Racing season runs between mid-March and October.
Additionally, year-round options in All-Weather Flat racing are run on artificial courses. Here’s a bit about all three.
National Hunt Racing
Divided into hurdling and steeplechase races in the UK and Ireland, the National Hunt calendar includes many prestigious races and events. Above all, the Grand National best exemplifies the pulsating nature of jump racing. Furthermore, bumper races – such as the Champion Bumper at the iconic Cheltenham Festival – are also part of the National Hunt season.
The Cheltenham Gold Cup, the centrepiece of the festival, is widely considered the blue riband event in National Hunt racing. Punters place all kinds of bets, from straight-up wagers to Lucky 15 bets, across four days action.
Flat Racing
All Flat Racing events require horses to run without obstacles on firm ground. Our favourites are the British Classics, which we consider the best examples of Grade 1 Flat Racing events. Perhaps the most exciting of the five is the world-famous Epsom Derby, run by three-year-old colts, which takes place in June.
Other key flats include The Oaks, the One Thousand Guineas, and the Saint Leger. We recommend combining our doubles tips across these races.
All-Weather Racing
In the darker and colder months, all-weather events lead the way. Many horse racecards today feature races run on artificial terrain constructed from materials including Polytrack and Tapeta. Premier British All-Weather Racing tracks include Lingfield, Wolverhampton, Southwell, and Kempton Park where you may find racecards for tomorrow.
The All-Weather Championships are a fun concept for casual punters and avid horse racing fans to enjoy.
Tomorrow’s Horse Racing Cards – What’s Coming Up
We recommend you look to our horse racing cards tomorrow for inspiration. Rather than guessing, simply toggle tomorrow’s horse racing cards to see what’s scheduled and select the event you want to bet on. Whether it’s the Grand National at Aintree Racecourse or All-Weather Racing, our AI-powered software makes it easier to find all runners.
Among the details for runners, jockeys, and trainers are the latest betting odds that appear on our site as soon as they are released. We love this feature for tomorrow’s racecards, in particular, as it keeps us updated and informed as to what is to come. Furthermore, it may help you devise a smarter horse racing betting strategy if you’re picking multiple runners as part of an accumulator, Lucky 15, or something similar.
