How We Use Jockeys and Trainers in Our Tips

First, look at who rides the horses we like. Then see which stable they come from and what else it runs that day. However, the cards change, so we check them again after scratchings and update the pages. Also, our Kenilworth tips and Turffontein tips pages have the full cards, and our horse racing tips today page has every pick in one place. For the full weekend list, see the Race Coast fixtures page.
