The prediction engine

Horse racing predictions, built from evidence.

A prediction is only as good as the reasoning behind it. The Racing Bot predicts every UK and Irish race by scoring every runner on 15 measurable signals - then it shows you the working.

How the predictions are made

The moment declarations drop, the bot reads the day’s cards (today: 32 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 tips, named tipster support, official rating, 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 how the ratings work.

Predictions you can hold to account

Every prediction settles in public. The results page shows how the pick ran in every race - including exactly why a beaten pick lost and what the scoring liked about the horse that beat it. Across the last 12 months that record stands at 13,000+ picks with roughly one winner in four and more than half hitting the places. Higher scores hit harder: picks rated 450+ have won at around one in three. Past results never guarantee future ones, and we’ll never tell you otherwise.

From prediction to your own system

Predictions are a starting point. The betting simulator lets you re-run the entire season under your own rules - reweight the signals, filter by race type or price, choose singles through six-folds - and see the win rate, place rate and yield your version would have produced. On Max, the automation tools then carry out your rules on your own Betfair account, automatically.
