About this site
Racing Post is Britain’s long-established horse racing and sports betting publisher, known for daily racing journalism, racecards, form guides, results, and tipping across racing and wider sports. Founded in 1986, it still operates as both a print newspaper and a large digital product spanning website, app, and paid Racing Post+ content.
Its core strength is racing utility: cards, form, runner profiles, bloodstock coverage, greyhounds, and raceday analysis that professionals and recreational punters treat as industry infrastructure rather than a thin affiliate tip sheet. The brand also publishes free and premium racing tips, sports tips, and bookmaker guidance through products such as RP Recommends, while monetizing through subscriptions, advertising, affiliate partnerships, and a B2B content business.
Ownership sits with Exponent Private Equity / Spotlight Sports Group following earlier periods under Trinity Mirror and FL Partners. That corporate backing matches the scale of the operation, but readers should still treat bookmaker recommendations and free-bet coverage as commercially influenced even when the tipping and form product remains the brand’s main reason to visit.
For directory purposes, Racing Post belongs in sports betting as a premium UK racing-and-tips publisher whose editorial depth and data surface go well beyond typical bonus-comparison sites.
