Inside The Paddock is an independent editorial project dedicated to analysing British horse racing with clarity, depth, and transparency. Founded and written by José Manuel Vargas Breval, a racing enthusiast and analyst with over a decade of experience studying both Flat and Jumps racing, the aim of this site is to help readers understand the sport from an analytical and educational perspective.
Here, you’ll find long-form articles, race previews, horse-by-horse breakdowns, track profiles, seasonal analysis and editorial notes designed to guide fans through the complexity of UK racing. Every article is researched using reputable public sources such as Racing Post, At The Races, official BHA data and racecourse statistics. All insights published are original, independently written and based on study, not automation or AI-generated predictions.
