Horse Racing Bettors Companion — Explained In Comprehensive Detail

Five runners. Seven comparison modes. Thousands of possible insights.

Select up to five runners using the checkboxes beneath their racing silks, click Compare, and enter a world of detailed racing research.

HRBC brings together the horses, jockeys, trainers, historical performances and race conditions in one comprehensive, colour-coded comparison. Examine the evidence side by side, identify patterns and explore the factors that could influence today's race.

1. Compare up to five runners

Choose the runners you want to investigate directly from the racecard.

Your selected horses appear in separate columns, allowing you to compare their characteristics and performances without switching between individual profiles.

Examine:

• Finishing positions and HRBC racecard rankings.
• Racing silks, saddlecloth numbers and recent form.
• Age, weight carried and draw.
• Jockeys, trainers and apprentice claims.
• Headgear, official ratings and surgery information.
• HRBC's RSPD speed rankings and values.
• HRBC's RFMS form rankings and values.
• Betfair Starting Prices (BSP).

Five runners. One screen. A wealth of information.

2. Seven ways to compare

A horse's performance is only part of the story. The jockey riding it, the trainer preparing it and their previous experience together can all be relevant.

HRBC offers seven comparison modes:

1. Horse — investigate each selected runner's racing history.
2. Trainer — compare the recent performances of runners from each horse's trainer.
3. Jockey — examine the recent rides and results of each jockey.
4. Trainer and jockey — investigate performances involving that particular partnership.
5. Trainer and horse — explore the trainer's previous results with the selected horse.
6. Jockey and horse — examine how the jockey and horse have performed together.
7. Jockey, trainer and horse — investigate the complete combination.

Switch between these views using a single dropdown.

The same race. The same runners. Seven different perspectives.

3. Explore historical race form

Compare the previous performances of your selected horses, with each race presented in a consistent, side-by-side format.

Explore:

• Race date and racecourse.
• Race type and class.
• Going and distance.
• Number of runners.
• Jockey and trainer.
• Weight, claims and headgear.
• Finishing position and beaten lengths.
• Early pace and finishing style.
• RFMS and RSPD values.
• Starting Price (SP) and Betfair Starting Price (BSP).
• Detailed race comments.

Move backwards through the historical records to investigate earlier performances.

Instead of simply seeing that a horse finished fourth, you can examine the conditions, opposition, pace and circumstances behind that result.

4. Compare form under today's conditions

A horse's last five races may not tell the whole story.

How did it perform over today's distance? Has it raced at this course before? What happened when it encountered similar going?

HRBC allows you to examine historical form using the following selections:

• Last 5 all — the five most recent races.
• Last 5 course — previous races at today's racecourse.
• Last 5 going — performances on today's going.
• Last 5 distance — previous races over today's distance.
• Last 5 class — races in today's class.
• Last 5 race code — performances in the same racing discipline.

These selections help you compare relevant performances rather than relying entirely on the most recent finishing positions.

Find the form that matters to the race you're researching.

5. Follow the jockeys and trainers

The comparison doesn't stop with the horses.

Switch to Trainer or Jockey to investigate their recent racing activity and performances.

HRBC presents historical results over the previous four weeks, with navigation through earlier records.

Examine:

• Horses ridden or trained.
• Dates, racecourses and race conditions.
• Finishing positions and margins.
• Early pace and finishing style.
• RFMS and RSPD ratings.
• Starting prices and BSP.
• Race comments describing what happened.

You can also explore specific horse, jockey and trainer combinations to see their previous experience together.

A jockey might be riding a particular horse for the first time. Another might have an established partnership. HRBC gives you the tools to investigate those differences.

6. See how each race unfolded

A finishing position tells you where a horse ended up. It doesn't necessarily explain how it got there.

HRBC's historical comparisons include:

Early pace — Was the horse prominent, held up or positioned in midfield?

Finishing style — Did it keep on, finish strongly, fade or struggle in the closing stages?

Finishing margin — Did it win comfortably, finish narrowly beaten or lose by a considerable distance?

Race comments — Read the recorded description of the performance, including how the horse travelled, where it encountered difficulties and how it finished.

Compare these details across runners and previous races to identify recurring characteristics.

A horse that repeatedly finishes strongly may deserve different consideration from one that regularly leads before fading.

The result is a number. The performance tells the story.

7. Colour-coded comparisons

HRBC uses colour coding throughout the comparison tables to make differences easier to identify.

Compare finishing positions, margins, rankings, ratings and BSP values without having to interpret every figure individually.

The colours help draw your attention to stronger and weaker comparative values, while the underlying numbers remain available for detailed examination.

This is particularly useful when comparing five runners across several races, where dozens of individual figures might otherwise be difficult to assess.

Spot the differences at a glance. Investigate the detail when you want to.

8. Everything connected to the racecard

There's no need to open separate research pages for every horse, jockey or trainer.

Select your runners, open the comparison, change the comparison mode, investigate historical form, explore different race conditions and review previous performances.

All from the racecard you're already studying.

Whether you're comparing two leading contenders or investigating five runners with very different profiles, HRBC puts the information together so you can make your own assessment.

HRBC doesn't decide which horse you should back. It gives you the evidence to make that decision yourself.
