What Does Nap Mean in Horse Racing?

In horse racing, the term ‘Nap’ describes the top tips for the day. Nap is a shortened version of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, but is more specifically derived from the card game of the same name. You’ll find Nap of the Day selections among the most sought-after in racing.

Horse Nap of the DayYou might also notice many horse racing tipsters in the UK and Ireland highlight Naps as their “sure-thing” selections. Quite often, several experts nominate the same horse in the same race, but it’s not always the case. With that in mind, our AI-driven Nap of the Day table may feature horses that aren’t as prominently featured elsewhere.

It’s worth noting that while tipsters consider Naps the most reliable selections from that day’s racecards, they aren’t guaranteed to win. You can have a horse look the part for a race but there is always a chance they get beaten. Betting always carries risk, regardless of how confident one is with their Nap of the Day horse racing tips.

How Do Tipsters Pick Their Nap of the Day?

We ensure all Nap of the Day selections are carefully analysed for quality. Our team of horse racing tipsters and race analysts uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence to aid with our Naps. This AI analyses form, going, and other key variables.

Ultimately, our race analysts make the final decision on the day’s best bets. The following information, among other things, is analysed by we settle on each selection.

  • Recent Form – First, recent form plays a major role. Horses that consistently perform well, especially on the same or similar racecourses, are identified as front-runners expected to at least place.
  • Performance of Trainer & Jockey – Next, trainer and jockey credentials are factored in. Emerging talents and dark horses that catch our eye may be listed as strong finishers in our daily horse racing tips.
  • Handicaps & Weight – A favourable handicap can be the difference between winning and losing for many horses. For this reason, weight is always of utter importance for today’s horse racing Naps. Often at the biggest race meetings.
  • Going & Suitability – Horses that have proven themselves in black type races or on specific types of ground stand out as top candidates.
  • Potential & Value – Our racing analysts frequently choose horses with the potential to win or place, especially if they offer outstanding value. This is usually represented in much higher odds when balanced against the quality of a horse.

Naps tables reflect the horses our tipsters rate as having the greatest chance of success. However, a horse Nap of the Day can also be selected as the top value bet across today’s horse racing cards in the UK and Ireland. This may translate to wins and/or each-way horse racing tips.
