RACING SITES - HORSES, OWNERS, TRAINERS & JOCKEYS

LONDON RACING PARTNERSHIPS   London Racing Partnerships is a new ownership/partnership organisation, based in south-east England

ZOE DAVISON   Site for the Sussex dual purpose trainer based a at a scenic yard just outside East Grinstead

ROGER CURTIS   The other website in the Suttung Press stable, this is the official site for the Lambourn trainer, with news from the yard, a page for every horse, history, location and a gradually increasing number of pictures.

RICHARD LEE   The site of the Shropshire trainer. I was reluctant to bill him as the 'burst blood vessel guru' in case it gave the impression that every horse in the yard was a notorious burster, but the site highlights the expertise from the home page! Easily navigated and plenty of decent pics.

CARL LLEWELLYN   The entertaining official site of Carl Llewellyn should be joint-sponsored by the letters L and W. Well worth a visit to study delicious Llewellyn diet and the interactive injuries page.

DAVID HOWARD   The site of the former conditional jockey for Martin Pipe's yard. Still ongoing as a racing site, despite his retiring into the web design industry, with a jokes page that rivals this site for groansome humour.

DARREN EDWARDS  Site for the up & coming West Country-based amateur jockey. A quick perusal will prove that a impressive list of trainers have already employed his services to good effect

HEART OF THE SOUTH  A new page for the a successful syndication organisation (winners over the years include Captain Coe, Ones Enough, It's Wallace Jnr, North Point) based in the south of England. Flat and Jumpers are syndicated.

BRIAN ELLISON   Official site of the trainer of Sedgefield's own god-like existence Fatehalkhair, plus the rest of the Ellison team who win at other venues!

ELITE RACING CLUB   This one has me slightly bemused as it is the links page of the Elite Racing Club, but is not actually on the main Elite site. So is it owners or is it misc? A useful link whichever.

FINAL FLIGHT  A brand new online racing game, which cries out jump racing on the name alone, and it is therefore inherently a good thing.

GRAND NATIONAL WORLD  It sounds like the ultimate racing theme park, but is in fact a site that gives you a comprehensive user guide to the Grand National. However, if enough people demand it, a log flume could potentially be installed, with the ubiquitous Flash upgrade.

UK RACING RESULTS   From the guru behind the excellent Aintree Grand National and Cheltenham Festival sites listed below, comes a new venture that maintains the standard. Latest results are on the home page, which is further to the fore than any other site offers.

SPORTINGLIFEODDS HORSE RACING CLUB     A laid back and free tipping site that also able to offer free bets with the major bookmakers every so often. Some, similar, stuff on football betting as well

AINTREE GRAND NATIONAL     From the makers of Cheltenham-festival.co.uk, a similarly specialist sister site with all the build up to the Grand National meeting in April. I cannot imagine a metaphorical monster comparison from classical literature for this one.

RACE XPERT    Developers of racing (i.e. form analysis) software and also running a tipping service. A lot of development work has gone into the site, so worth a look to illustrate how shabby this one is!

IVOR DONKEY  Hugely entertaining and irreverent racing site, living proof that the sport is first and foremost to be enjoyed. Probably the only racing site to include a top ten speed metal albums page. Highly recommended.

JUMPING FOR FUN   I do like to go to the odd point-to-point, such a civilised way to spend a winter Sunday in particular. For a site that has everything you could want to know about pointing, try Jumping For Fun. And there will be a link to anything that might have slipped through it's drift net-like grasp.

RACING RELATED - BETTING & GAMBLING

HUDSON'S HORSES     A new (in April 2009) tipping service, with a very reasonably priced subscription, plus blog and and a variety of free elements, plus a planned ownership syndicate as well.

THE BOOKIES OFFERS   A most convenient site that provides a directory listing of all the current special offers provided by bookmakers, online and traditional, plus a busier forum than this site could manage to drum up.

RACING PORTFOLIOS   Daily horse racing tips provided by various UK horse racing tipsters. There is also a free historical comparison record of the tipsters, which is most enlightening.

BETFRED  A fascinating phenomena, as ever since his premature pay-out on a Man Utd championship which they lost, Fred Done has established a bizarrely successful cult of personality around himself, whilst every other bookmaker relies on scantily dressed totty. At the time of linkage, the site gives prices and info, with online betting scheduled for Spring 2004.

TIPPED OFF  The mandate is 'affordable horse-racing tips from the experts.' The lowdown is that is a site from the lightning html-converter of former jockey and cyber empire builder extraordinaire, David Howard

GAMBLING.COM  A comprehensive directory of gambling websites, on any event or sport that you care to name. An ideal companion for day when you feel you just need to have a bet!

DRAWN TO WIN  OK, so it is mostly flat, but sometimes the weather gives no other options! Putting aside prejudices - even justified ones - it's a pretty good tipping service for the lesser code, and, as the name suggests, is especially strong on exploiting draw bias

PROFORM RACING    A good comprehensive form & tipping site, well worth a visit when diversifying from the scope here!

ANOTHER FIRST  Nicely designed tipping site, well worth a browse. Does that clever stuff with pull down menus that can provide hours of entertainment in it's own right!
