Our History
Founded in 2012 by a group of friends who met at Ascot (over a questionable hot dog), our site has grown from a humble blog to a leading voice in British horse racing. We’ve covered everything from Frankel’s unbeaten streak to the quirkiest hats at Royal Ascot.
Our journey has included:
- Live coverage of the Grand National (with more than a few office sweepstakes).
- Exclusive interviews with racing legends and rising stars.
- Charity fundraisers for retired racehorses and racing welfare.

We’re fiercely independent, passionate about accuracy, and always up for a laugh. Our team combines decades of experience in journalism and racing, and we’re committed to fair, honest, and entertaining coverage.
We’re also proud to be a trusted source for:
- Racing tips that are well-researched (though we can’t promise you’ll retire on your winnings).
- Historical features that bring the past to life.
- Balanced reporting—we love a good debate, but facts come first.
