Your guide to getting the most from our AI-powered racing tips
A horse's price tells you more than anything else on the card. We checked this across 79,621 of our own settled picks: nothing we measure — ratings, rank, market drop, confidence score — predicted the winner better than the starting price already did.
So read our picks as a shortlist, not a tip sheet. We narrow a 14-runner field down to a handful worth looking at. The price then tells you how likely each one is.
The winner appears somewhere in our picks in 47% of races. Our top-ranked pick wins 21% of the time.
Every price band we track finishes below its implied chance. Backing every pick loses money. Bet accordingly.
Every horse we publish falls into one of these. Strike rates below are what each category has actually done across 60,351 settled picks since August 2025 — not targets, not estimates.
Categories are sorted by strike rate. A high strike rate means the horse wins often; it does not mean the bet is profitable, because short-priced winners pay little.
Top 3 means the horse finished first, second or third. Racing calls that the frame. It is not the same as an each-way payout — bookmakers pay two places in small fields and up to four in big handicaps, so always check the place terms before you stake.
What it is: The clear favourite, priced shorter than evens. Typical price 4/6.
Read it as: The most likely winner on the card, and our highest strike rate by a distance. The price is short enough that a losing run still hurts.
What it is: A well-backed favourite between evens and 2/1. Typical price 6/4.
Read it as: Places in nearly two races out of three, which makes it the steadiest name on a card rather than the biggest payer.
What it is: A short-priced runner clearing our strictest combination of rating, rank and market-drop filters. Typical price 6/4.
Read it as: Rare — often none on a card, sometimes one. High strike rate, but on 509 picks, so treat it as a strong opinion rather than a settled fact.
What it is: A Winner Alert priced 3/1 or shorter. Typical price 9/4.
Read it as: Our best blend of strike rate and price, but still on a thin sample — 139 settled picks so far. We are watching this one.
What it is: A well-rated runner around 2/1 with market support behind it.
Read it as: Wins roughly one race in four. Its record is no better than its price suggests, so it earns no premium over the market.
What it is: A Winner Alert that missed the confidence threshold. Typical price 7/2.
Read it as: A live chance at a fair price. The lowest-conviction member of the Winner Alert family.
What it is: A mid-priced runner, typically 7/1, clearing our value-score filter.
Read it as: Finishes top 3 in more than a third of races, which is why it is staked each-way rather than to win. Check the place terms first — a small field may only pay two places, in which case third returns nothing.
What it is: A 10/1-ish runner our ratings like more than the market does. Boosted means the race looked competitive.
Read it as: Loses nine times out of ten, and it is our highest-volume category, so it does most of the damage to a bet-everything staking plan. Small stakes or none.
What it is: A runner we rate but had no settled price for when the card was built.
Read it as: Check the live price before doing anything. These are not longshots — they place slightly more often than our priced picks — but you are betting blind until you look.
The number beside a pick is a unit, not a recommendation in pounds. It says how much weight we put on that selection relative to the others on the card. Use whatever base unit suits you — if 14 units is 14p, the proportions still hold.
14 units: Each-Way Value — our highest-volume staked category
12 units: Winner Alert Strong, Sharp and Weak
5–7 units: Value Outsider and Short Favourite — speculative
0 units: Odds-On Favourite — published for information, not for backing. Win-only bets at these prices lose money even at a 53% strike rate.
One per race. It wins 29% of the time, better than any other name on the card
Ours is the price at build time. Shop around — a shorter price is the only thing that reliably moves the maths
Backing three picks in the same race guarantees at least two losers. It is the single biggest leak we found
There is no obligation to bet a card. Most days the honest answer is that nothing stands out
Less than we used to claim. We checked our strike rate across 60,351 settled picks by going, and the spread is far narrower than racing folklore suggests.
Our best going, by a small margin
Barely different from good ground
Yielding is the one real soft spot
4 horses combined into 15 separate bets: 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 accumulator.
Why we love it: You only need ONE winner to get paid. Two or more winners and bookmaker bonuses kick in!
Our most confident selection — usually the starred pick, the shortest-priced runner our ratings agree with.
This is your banker.
A strong Winner Alert - odds under 4/1 with market support.
Reliable winner potential.
Each-Way Sweet Spot horse at 4/1-10/1 with good ratings.
Place money protects you.
A Value Outsider with something going for it.
