Ownaracehorse |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Ownaracehorse is perhaps one of the best syndication websites in the UK. Leaders in small share syndication, the site has detailed video plus photos and profiles of all their horses. With 6-15 horses in training, shares start at about ?89.00 one-off cost for the season and personalised Gift Packs are also available. Benefits include yard visits, owners badges and a share of any prizemoney the horse earns during its racing season. A very decent service and good website which has recently been updated and upgraded.

Racing Post |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The Racing Post is the most visited racing website in the UK. It combines form and analysis with news, bloodstock sales and an integrated betting service. Through their link with Racing UK, they provide live streamed racing and an archive of racing videos from the top tracks, albeit available at a price. As you would expect from the only daily newspaper dedicated to racing in the UK they have well constructed pages covering almost all aspects of horse and greyhound racing. An essential racing resource. New site launched December 2009 and prone to delays and crashing.

Mick Channon |
|
|
|
|
|
|
An really innovative and interactive training website, rammed full of video clips. Most interesting is the section of gallop videos so owners (or the casual visitor) can see their horses without visiting the yard. This site wins because of its very regularly updated content and many other interesting video clips. Definitely worth a visit.

Sporting Index |
|
|
|
|
Sporting Index are amongst the most well established spread betting firms in the UK. They boast one of the busiest betting sites for serious gamblers who like the high-risk element of spread betting. The website is easy to use, and despite the plethora of information needed to understand the risk involved is fairly uncluttered. Horse racing is well served throughout and their 'Play for Fun' option means you can paper trade to get the hang of things before putting you cash in jeopardy. Decent.

Blue Square |
|
|
|
|
Blue Square have been around since the first internet betting sites started. As one of the first internet only bookmakers they broke new ground ahead of the established high street bookies. Now their site is a well respected brand in its own right. The site retains the same blue livery and still maintains a very independent betting style and engine which is quite refreshing. All the usual markets are covered and new customers can expect around the ?25 mark as a sign-up bonus.

Spreadfair |
|

Take the way an exchange operates and then cross it with spread betting and you'll have some idea of what this website delivers. The markets are surprisingly fluid and the site makes absorbing reading to the novice and experienced spread bettor alike. The interface is very similar to all the exchanges, but with spreads (buy or sell) for each horse available, rather than bet or lay. Sign up bonuses available and commission rates are similar to the exchanges.
