HorseRaceBase & Membership

It's a community website created to provide horse racing enthusiasts with the facilities they require to maximise their enjoyment and betting potential of the sport. With a database containing well over a million horse racing records from all UK and Irish horse races since 1st January 1997 at our disposal, we use the coding expertise of our developers to design tools matching user's needs. Most of these tools are available nowhere else on the web.

Funded by users donations and revenue generated from advertisements on the site, the difference between HorseRaceBase.com and many other sites is you decide how much to donate based on the services you do/will receive (to a minimum of €7.50 per month). All money received is then put back into the upkeep and development of the site. It is worth reading the about us section to try and understand why we exist and do things differently.

We have the results of every horse race from UK and Ireland since 1st January 1997 stored in our database. Please note at present we do not have French, US form etc or point to point races.

Due to the type of code we use for maximum efficiency, speed and security the back button does not work on many of the pages where variables are being passed behind the scenes. In many cases there will be a HorseRaceBase button to take you back within features, otherwise you can use the link menus at the top of the page to navigate around the site.

Once you have logged in to the site there is a change password option within the Members Settings Page.

We do it this way because we consider it to be fairer. If you are using the site a lot and making excellent use of the facilities, we trust in your honesty to donate a reasonable sum. Perhaps you only access infrequently in which case its understandable you donate a smaller amount (minimum of €7.50 per month).

This is a question we are commonly asked and people seem confused when we answer. The truthful answer is you can donate anything reasonable. The only request we make is you are honest and apply common sense. Give what you think its worth. Look at the facilities on offer or weigh up the use you obtain from the site and decide what you can realistically afford to contribute. If you just dont know and want us to suggest an amount, the most common is probably €15 per month but it is honestly up to you. One note, we are extremely flexible but silly amounts such as 50 cents will be returned.

Immediately if you are paying using our credit card secure server. If using Paypal you will be upgraded within 24 hours, but normally much quicker.

If you do not want to make a full donation without seeing things work first, you can donate £1 to get access for a few days. If you dont want to do this, contact us and request a free day pass.

You can access the ratings and tools home from the menu bar at any time by clicking the Todays Racing link. You can also go directly to the race and tool you want from the quickpick section at the top right hand side of the site.

Yes, this can be done in the one day ratings section (note you must be logged in). Additionally to view by single track you can use the one page ratings.

The majority of the information is restricted to viewing by donating members only. Non-donating members can view slightly more data than non-members,

The primary aim of the analysis tools is to give an immediate snapshot providing invaluable insight into the factors most likely to affect the outcome of the race. These tools are most useful when you want to find something out fast. For example, you may want to quickly identify which trainer in the race has the best strike rate, which horse's have won over a greater distance or look for horse's who have previously won at a big price.

Here you can view the past winners and key details such as the weight they carried for over 600 major races. This can be very useful to try and spot a trend in previous years. to settle an argument or for sheer curiosity!

Yes, we would be absolutely delighted to receive something you feel would be beneficial for users. We are unable to accept articles or files which are not personally created by you or where permission from the author has not been received.

This a function exclusive to horseracebase.com, simply by clicking the follow button when viewing any race result you can view the subsequent performance of horses who ran in the race. This can be an extremely useful facility when studying form.

You can at any time click the search link on the menu bar, alternatively you will find a search box in the top left hand side under the HorseRaceBase logo. Enter part of the horse/jockey/trainer's name into the text box, set the dropdown to what you are searching for and then press Go. Alternatively there are horse, jockey, trainer or stallion index directories.

Most searches you will find extremely simple but in some cases you may not find what you are looking for if you have the wrong spelling or alternatively if the horse/jockey/trainer/stallion has never had a run under rules in UK/Ireland.

It is a personalised list of horses created by you. Each day our database will look up each of the horses on your list and check if they are running in the days races. If any are, they will be displayed when you log in.

Navigate to the horses record and you will see a 'notify me' button. Click this and then confirm you want to add the horse to your monitored horses list. You can make sure it has been added by returning to your homepage and it should be now showing in the My Horses section.

On your homepage, next to each horse in your monitored horses list appears a 'manage' button. If you press this and then confirm you wish to remove, the horse will no longer be monitored.

As many as you like, its completely up to you. But be aware that your homepage loading time is dependent on your own personal information. In other words if it has to look for 100 horses it will be slower than if it has to look for 5!

This function allows you to add a race to your personalised list and receive notification when a runner from that race is having its next or second next run.

There are many reasons you may want to follow the subsequent form of any given race. It can be extremely useful when you feel you have found a hot race likely to produce several winners or an awful race where you think they all might go on to lose! You may also just want to track horses coming out from a maiden.
