How we read the form

What a read is

For each race we look at every runner's recent runs and ask the questions a form reader asks: what has it done at this trip, on this ground, at this course, off this mark, and how has the form around it held up since. The result is a short written read of the race, horse by horse, with the facts it rests on shown next to it.

A read is an opinion about the form. It is not a prediction of the result and it is not advice to bet.

Where the facts come from

Form and results come from the official record. Every figure on a page, such as a trainer's record at a course or how often a drawn stall wins, is counted from those results, with the period it covers stated beside it. The reading of those facts is ours.

The written reads are produced by an AI model working from the form lines we give it, and the sentences it writes are checked against those lines before a page is built. Where a sentence cannot be matched to a fact, it is dropped.

Who stands behind it

The site is run by a small group of racing enthusiasts. Everything published is reviewed before it goes live and corrected in the open when it is wrong.

Between May and October 2026 the site published a daily tips card, and it finished at +70.5 points (the record). The Tips Club is on pause, and our likely top three for every race is on each course page instead.
