Welcome to UK Horse Racing

For those that are considering a subscription to either The Forum (£25 Per Month) or to The Full Members Area (£55 per month), these brief descriptive articles should be of interest in coming to a decision.

We have been established since 1999, when Malcolm Smith brought the UK Horse Racing Model to life. Malc has sadly passed away now but his legacy lives on and the UKHR site continues to flourish under the ownership of long term member Mark and the huge assistance behind the scenes from fellow long time members Rich and Ollie, whose input and skills are helping to bring a new, fresher, more streamlined website.

The process will be gradual and the existing model will not be interfered with in any way, but the site will be taking on a newer look as we move forward into our 27th year of operation in 2026!

Value Betting

There is only one sure way to get ahead in the long term with any form of punting: Value Betting. Long term, there is no other way to get ahead and to stay ahead.

There can be many definitions of Value Betting; for some, a winner of any kind is considered a value bet. We have our own value odds built into the model. I am not suggesting that they are the be-all and end-all or even the best value odds out there, but they work for our model and have done so since 1999. I myself have built many micro systems over the years using the UKHR value odds. Quite simply, even with today’s far more efficient markets they still outperform bookmakers' starting prices, even more so when taking early prices. By getting on early, at best odds guaranteed, and at value prices you are far more likely to succeed than to fail.

Longer priced horses are far better backed on the exchanges than the frontline bookmakers. The markets tend to be weighted towards the top few runners which pushes out the odds for those a little lower down the pecking order and therefore opening up some very good value bets.

What I Back: The "Ten" Portfolio

What is of the utmost importance to anyone arriving at the site is that they are going to want to know one thing: what do I back? I have lots of different methods that I use, but what I have named “The Ten” is what I post and track on The Forum. It is a broad sweep across many CSV columns that has developed into “The Ten Portfolio”.

I bet in bulk; selection lists are long but I do use a placement tool, The Bet Engine. This helps me to process my bets and plug them into the exchange. This page here explains what I do:

Taking Responsibility

A large part of any model, system or method that one decides to take part in needs to be taken on responsibly. By this, my own personal advice is to have a set amount of investment capital for the sole purpose of using as a betting bank. We all know that real life gets in the way at times; by having a set amount for the single purpose of betting will help go a long way to making the game that little bit easier.

There are no, and never will be, any so-called ‘Get Rich Quick’ schemes. There are plenty of outlets that suggest that there is, but not at UKHR! If you are looking for that then you are in the wrong place. If you are looking for a value ratings service or a readymade list of potential bets from our long term members on The Forum that have a long history with UKHR, then you are in the right place. Everything we post is with the best of intentions, and made available to fellow members. That does not mean that we win every day, of course we don’t, but we take our methods and our site and use them in a responsible way.
