The prediction engine
Horse racing predictions, built from evidence.
A horse racing predictor that shows its working. The Racing Bot scores every runner in every UK and Irish race on 15 measurable signals. The top score is the predicted winner, and every prediction is settled in public.
How the predictions are made
The moment declarations drop, the bot reads the day’s cards (today: 38 races across 5 meetings) and scores each horse on the same 15 signals: recent form, trainer form, jockey form, the horse’s record at the course and on the going, the trainer and jockey records at the course, the trainer-jockey combination, market moves, Racing Post picks, named pundit support, official rating, the top performance rating, the top speed figure, and whether it’s rated top in the race. Points scale with how strongly each signal leans.
The horse with the highest total is the bot’s predicted winner. There is no override, no gut feel and no cherry-picking: the same maths runs on a Monday seller at Wolverhampton as on Gold Cup day. You can read the full breakdown of the horse racing ratings behind it.
Predictions you can hold to account
Every prediction is settled and counted, winners and losers. The record stands at 12,711 picks, and 26% winners and 50% placed from 6,893 runs in the last 6 months (12 months: 25% won and 50% placed from 12,711 runs). Higher scores have won more often: picks scoring 400+ won 29% and placed 51% of 1,535 runs over the last 12 months, and 450+ won 34% and placed 54% of 541. Past results never guarantee future ones, and we’ll never tell you otherwise.
From prediction to your own system
Predictions are a starting point. With the horse racing simulator you build your own model: pick the races by price, type, going, course or day, and see how the bot’s picks did in them over the season. On Pro, the model you use becomes your picks, in your emails and alerts too.
