About this site
Racenet is an Australia-facing horse racing publisher covering news, form guides, free tips, results, and betting tools across thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound racing. Founded in 1998 as Racing Internet Services and acquired by News Corp’s Punters Paradise group in 2018 after ACCC clearance, it remains a distinct consumer brand alongside sister site Punters.com.au.
Its clearest remit is premium racing information and form: fields and form products, Racenet iQ, blackbook tools, jockey/trainer premierships, feature-race coverage, and bookmaker reviews/bonus pages aimed at Australian punters. Editorial output mixes daily news with tipster and form analysis for major carnival meetings.
As with other Australian racing affiliates under News Corp, bookmaker partnerships fund part of the model, so commercial odds and bonus placements should be read with that incentive structure in mind.
For directory purposes, Racenet fits sports betting as a News Corp Australia racing news-and-form brand complementary to Punters.
