Hopefully today is a better day for favorites at Belmont.

Only 3 years old.

Tempted for me

Like lots of us, I've found the big racing sites harder and harder to use on my phone. Pop-ups, slow pages, and you have to dig to find the basics. So over the last few weeks I've been building my own: racingbrief.com
It's free, with no sign-up and no ads or clutter. What it does:
•    Every UK and Irish racecard, laid out to be readable on a phone
•    Going and trip records for every runner at a glance. With the ground all over the place after the dry summer, I wanted to see straight away which horses have form on today's going
•    Horse pages with each recent run: position, official rating, going and trip. You can also search any horse from the homepage
•    Results within minutes of each race, with a page per course and per race
•    Tomorrow's cards from late morning
•    IQ ratings: my own rating for every runner, built from form, fitness, going, trip and how the stable is going. When the going changes, the ratings update with it. There's a page explaining how it works if you're curious
•    It updates every 5 minutes, and you can add it to your phone's home screen like an app
It's still early days and I'm building it around what people actually want, so I'd really value honest feedback:
•    What do you find most annoying about the racecards you use now?
•    What's missing that would make you use this instead?
•    Anything broken or confusing?
I'm especially focused on the jumps, with Cheltenham in November and March in mind. Thanks for taking a look.

I want to build my community bigger and have an active general chat!

Seems unethically high to me....

I'll admit that I don't know much about him and haven't seen him race before as opposed to the other breeders cup top contenders. However, his race times on similar courses are a few seconds slower than Magnitude and Sovereignty's times. I know the pace simply could have been slower overall for the race, but I don't think that justifies Knightsbridge being 4-1 odds over Magnitude or Sovereignty. Am I just missing something or not considering something? I'd like some other opinions from people with elite ball knowledge.

Draw for Saturday’s $20M Everest at Randwick:

1. Tempted (Schofield)
2. Angel Capital (B. Melham)
3. Ninja (Berry)
4. Spicy Martini (Marshall)
5. Joliestar (McDonald)
6. Headwall (McEvoy)
7. Savvy Hallie (Lloyd)
8. Jimmysstar (Rawiller)
9. Blue Door (J. Melham)
10. Caballus (Clark)
11. Ka Ying Rising (Purton)
12. Giga Kick (Gibbons)

The interesting bits:

• KYR, on 21 straight wins, is out in 11. Last year he won from 7 with Tempted 2nd
• Tempted gets the rail, and she’s got a strong wet-track record with rain forecast
• Ninja, who beat KYR in last Tuesday’s trial, is in 3
• Hayes before the draw: “I wouldn’t be in a panic if he drew wide, he’s so fast”

He’s now $1.40. Does 11 actually change anything for a horse with his gate speed, or does Tempted on the rail in the wet make this a race?

I’m new to the sport. A client of mine got me hooked on it, he had a racing horse, and it was in some notable races. Being its a little unprofessional for me to talk to him about these things I thought I’d turn to red and buy a book or two on the subject.

What are some of the key races in horse racing (outside of the derby)? How would you go about buying a horse? Is it smart to go fractional at a stable, or better to buy the whole thing. What are some wisdom or perspectives the community has to share to a new person looking to get really involved in the sport?

Hi all, based in Australia and have built an automated betting system that monitors odds and places bets across multiple bookies.

Looking to connect with anyone who's developed their own betting model, pricing system or +EV strategy that I could potentially integrate into my setup. Doesn't have to be horse racing, open to any sport or market (main leagues ideallly)

Ideally something that's been tested and has shown decent results, whether that's actual profits or consistently beating closing prices.

Mainly focused on Australian bookies but open to other markets too.

Shoot me a DM if you've built something and are open profit sharing our wins.

EDIT: should clarify, not looking for anyone to hand over their model or strategy. They can keep everything private and just provide betting signals (selections, odds, stakes, etc.) that my system can execute automatically.

Where are we at with Fanduel? Are they still removing all onair talent next month and ending broadcast in 2027? Any news on if someone is coming in with a similar format?

Seems like a few tracks go live on YouTube Horseshoe etc what is the delay/lag time?

Hayes was pretty bullish after KYR’s final gallop at Canterbury on Monday morning:

• says he’s “10 per cent better” than when he won it last year
• has dropped 10lb since his trial last Tuesday (2nd on a soft Randwick track)
• called him “a freak of nature… a generational horse”

For context, he’s on 21 straight wins, 22 from 24 overall, and won last year’s Everest by 1¼ lengths from Tempted. He’s around $1.35.

The two question marks people keep raising:

1. The draw (tonight). Hayes reckons he’s won from inside, middle and outside, so he’s not worried
2. The weather. Randwick is a Good 4 right now, but rain’s forecast through the week including Saturday. Purton has said he’s untried on a proper Aussie soft track. Hayes says Hong Kong wet tracks are different and he’s not concerned

So is there a gate or a track rating that actually brings him back to the field? Or is this just a $20M coronation?

Who’s your best each-way chance behind him if it does come up wet?

How was your weekend? Were you up, down, flat? What did you learn? What did you drink? What are you going to do differently next weekend?
