About this site
The Paulick Report is an independent North American horse-racing publisher covering thoroughbred business news, investigative reporting, horse health, and industry commentary. Co-founders Ray Paulick and Brad Cummings launched it in 2008 after Paulick’s earlier newsroom jobs at Daily Racing Form, Thoroughbred Times, The Racing Times, and Blood-Horse. The About page now calls it North America's leading independent horse racing publication, and the live product still mixes race-day news with stewardship, breeding, HISA, and farm-level stories rather than a racecard or free-bet comparison desk.
Its clearest differentiator versus Racing Post and Sporting Life is the market and the job. Those UK titles are newspaper-lineage handicapping and sports-betting products; Paulick Report is US industry journalism aimed at owners, breeders, trainers, and racing fans who need business and investigative coverage. It is also distinct from Daily Racing Form: DRF is a 1894 past-performance form brand inside a casino-operating parent, while this listing is the independent 2008 digital newsroom. Public honors include the Stan Bergstein Writing Award for Paulick’s Tampa Bay Downs drug-violation story and Eclipse Awards for editor-in-chief Natalie Voss, including a 2016 News/Enterprise win on jockey head injuries.
Because the site still carries industry advertising and a Patreon/membership layer, commercial relationships sit beside the newsroom. Even so, Paulick Report is a strong US sports-betting listing because it opens a thoroughbred-press beat the directory currently lacks.
Editorial review
Our assessment of Paulick Report
Key features
- Independent thoroughbred newsroom covering racing business, investigative stories, horse health, and industry commentary
- Named newsroom led by publisher Ray Paulick and editor-in-chief Natalie Voss, with Eclipse and Bergstein award-winning reporting
- US racing-press product since 2008 rather than a racecard, free-bet comparison, or UK newspaper brand
Strengths
- Opens a US thoroughbred-press beat the directory currently lacks beside Racing Post, Sporting Life, and Paris-Turf
- Clearer independent journalism identity than Daily Racing Form, which sits inside a casino-operating parent
- Investigative awards and named editors give more newsroom depth than a generic US racing blog
Limitations
- Industry advertising and membership/Patreon support sit beside the newsroom, so commercial relationships remain part of the model
- Thoroughbred industry news first, so less useful for sportsbook odds comparison or casino coverage
Who it is best for
Paulick Report is best for US racing fans, owners, breeders, and industry readers who want independent thoroughbred journalism rather than a racecard or bookmaker-comparison product.
