What Horse Racing Cards Tell You

You may be wondering as to what information you can expect to see when you check today’s racecards. Horse racing cards today show all of the key data that punters need when evaluating a bet for individual races.

This starts with the race time and the location, with the distance of the race also displayed. Below this comes the information regarding all of today’s runners competing.

You will be able to see the horse names alongside a graphical representation of the colours that the jockey will be wearing. Some racecards will also show stall numbers for flat racing and note the saddlecloths and blinkers.

Aside from the appearance of the horse, you will also be able to see key data that will really aid your ability to place a successful bet. This includes horse racing form, along with age, weight, and ratings.

This is arguably the most important information that is displayed on racecards, when it comes to evaluating wagers. You will also be able to see the name of the jockey and trainer.

On more detailed racecards, jockey summaries can be available, though this is not common. Prominently displayed alongside the information on each horse are the odds.

With online racecards, this information can be adjusted to keep you informed of any changes to the odds and any of today’s non-runners, which is indicated by an ‘NR’ where the odds were.

We cover all the horse racing fixtures, from the biggest races to the smallest. Be sure to check in on our racecards each day, to keep yourself informed and give yourself the best chance of beating betting sites and the bookies.
