About this site
Irish Racing (irishracing.com) is an Ireland-facing horse racing publisher covering racecards, results, news, tips, and video for Irish, UK, and major international meetings. Founded in 1997, it was formerly part of The Irish Times before Better Collective acquired the site in November 2020. Editor Vincent Finegan, based on the Curragh, leads a named team of racing journalists and Press Association contributors.
Its clearest differentiator is Ireland-first racing infrastructure that stays free. The site publishes trainer-quoted reports on every Irish race, racecards with form, results with comments in running, Irish runners abroad, and a free Horsetracker email service for horses, trainers, jockeys, owners, and sires, with more than 30 years of archive data and no paywall. Weekly video (Irish Angle, Emma’s Eyecatchers, Formscan) sits beside Finegan’s blog.
Affiliate bookmaker partnerships and advertising fund that free surface, and betting-offer rankings can be commercially influenced, so readers should treat promo modules separately from the racecards and journalism. Even so, Irish Racing is a strong Ireland sports-betting listing because it is the dedicated Irish racing-media brand beside Racing Post’s UK product and Probatrix’s probability tools.
Editorial review
Our assessment of Irish Racing
Key features
- Ireland-first racecards, results, and trainer-quoted reports on every Irish race, plus Irish runners abroad
- Free archive of more than 30 years of racing data and a Horsetracker email service for horses, trainers, jockeys, owners, and sires
- Named editorial team led by Vincent Finegan, with weekly video analysis (Irish Angle, Emma’s Eyecatchers, Formscan)
Strengths
- Clearer Ireland-first racing identity than UK flagship titles, with Curragh-based editorship and Irish Times heritage
- Useful specialist beside Racing Post because cards, results, and archive stay free rather than sitting behind a paywall
- Distinct from Probatrix: journalism and raceday data rather than probability-model rankings
Limitations
- Affiliate bookmaker partnerships and advertising fund the free product, so offer rankings can be commercially influenced
- Coverage includes UK and international racing, so it is Ireland-first rather than Ireland-only, and Better Collective ownership is a commercial media group rather than an independent newsroom
Who it is best for
Irish Racing is best for Irish punters and racing professionals who want free racecards, results, and named Irish racing journalism rather than a UK paywall product or a casino review site.
