Horse Racing Entries?

Question

I have just bought a book from the Racing Post website with horses to follow on the flat this year. There are over 180 horses. I know that you can search for each horse through the Racing Post website and look at their entries, but for 180 horses that would take a LOT of time! Is there a website anywhere that you can add these horses to then they send you an e-mail the day before they are due to run?
I know Ladbrokes do this, but only 20 horses can be entered, and that is unreliable because they dont send e-mails sometimes.
If I was to buy the Racing Post weekender, that would have 5 day entries I suppose, but I don't know if there is an easier way?

Thanks newmarketsalsa!
What day does the Racing Post weekender come out please? And which days Racing Post(s) have 5 day entries in them?

Answer 1

I am not certain this will work for Europe, but it's worth a shot! Go to http://www.equibase.com. Sign up for a Virual stable. I get tons of notices every day, you can get their work outs race notifications (both before and on the day they run) and result notifications.

I think Equibase is world wide so you should be able to use this service, and it's free!

Answer 2

I don't know of any websites that will do this for you. The 5 day entries are published in both the Racing Post and the Weekender so I guess you can keep an eye on those.

I think you're just going to have to do the leg work yourself and keep an eye on the horses via the Racing Post website. Another alternative may be the trainers personal websites - some of them keep lists of their horses and their intended races.

The Racing Post has entries and declarations in it every day. Basically, in Saturday's paper you get the entries for the following Wednesday and Thursday; in Monday's paper you get Friday's entries; in Tuesday's paper you get Saturday and Sunday entries; in Wednesday you get Monday's entries and in Thursday's paper you get Tuesday's entries. Also on each day you will get the 48 hour declarations and the advance entries for any of the major races that are coming up.

I think the Weekender comes out on Wednesday, but I may be wrong.
