Horse Racing Betting at London Bet

If you’re looking to wager on the "Sport of Kings," London Bet is your best destination. Our horse racing betting hub is designed to offer more than just standard markets; it provides a suite of tools including specialized racing bonuses and expert insights for both beginners and seasoned punters.

Whether you prefer the portability of our mobile app or the detailed view of our desktop site, you can access live markets at any time. At London Bet, you will never miss a moment of the action.

Horse racing odds represent the statistical probability of a runner winning its race. While our in-house experts analyse horse records, track conditions and trainer form to set the initial lines, the market remains dynamic.

To find the best value, we encourage you to perform your own analysis. Successful punters often look at a combination of:

  • Historical Form: How the horse has performed in its most recent outings.
  • The Ground: How the current weather and track moisture may affect the horse's stride.
  • Field Size: The number of entrants can drastically change the tactical nature of a race.

We provide coverage for every major meeting in the UK and Ireland, as well as international cards from around the globe. You can secure your prices for today’s races, tomorrow’s cards, or look ahead to Ante-Post markets for future festivals.

Our platform offers a wide variety of ways to play. If you’re planning a complex wager, use our integrated Bet Calculator to instantly see your potential returns.

  • Win: A straightforward wager on the horse to finish first.
  • Each-Way: Effectively two bets in one; you win if the horse finishes first, or receive a reduced payout if it "places" (usually finishing in the top 3 or 4).
  • Place: A bet specifically for the horse to finish within the top positions, regardless of whether it wins.
  • Forecast: A higher-odds bet where you predict the first and second finishers in the correct order.
  • Tricast: The ultimate challenge; predicting the first, second and third finishers in the exact sequence.

The 2026 Racing Calendar: Key Highlights

While there is top-quality racing every day, three events stand out as the pillars of the season:

1. The Cheltenham Festival (March)

The pinnacle of National jump racing. Over four days, 28 races take place in the natural amphitheatre of the Cotswolds. The week builds up to the prestigious Gold Cup, a test of elite stamina and jumping ability.

2. The Grand National (April)

Held at Aintree, this is the most famous steeple-chase in the world. With 40 runners tackling 30 unique fences over four miles, it’s the most-watched race in the UK and Ireland. It remains a true test of a horse's resilience and a jockey's nerve.

3. Royal Ascot (June)

The crown jewel of the Flat racing season. This five-day event features 36 races, including eight Group 1 contests. It combines high fashion with world-class speed, centred around the historic Gold Cup on Ladies' Day.
