At Inside The Paddock, we are committed to producing transparent, accurate and independently researched content focused on British horse racing. These guidelines outline how our articles are created, the standards we follow, and the principles that guide our editorial work. Our goal is to deliver clear, honest and well-reasoned analysis that helps readers understand the sport—not to promote betting or financial gain.
1. Independence and Transparency
Inside The Paddock is an independent editorial project.
We do not publish sponsored predictions, sell tips, accept paid placements, or partner with bookmakers. Every article on this site is written manually and reflects the independent opinion of the author, based on public data, personal study and race-watching experience.
We do not publish guest posts, automated content or articles generated by third-party contributors.
2. Research and Sources
Our content is produced using publicly available, reputable sources, including:
- Racing Post
- At The Races
- Official BHA data
- Racecourse reports and statistics
- Publicly accessible race replays
- Weather and track condition reports
All insights are original and never copied from other websites. Data is always cross-checked before publication to ensure accuracy.
3. How Race Analysis Is Created
Each preview or analysis follows a clear and consistent process:
- Reviewing recent form of each horse
- Evaluating trainer and jockey performance
- Studying track configuration, biases and historical trends
- Reviewing pace maps and potential tactical setups
- Cross-checking conditions such as ground, draw, weather and field size
- Identifying key angles, strengths and vulnerabilities
- Writing a clear, narrative-style article that explains the reasoning
Our goal is to help readers understand why a race may unfold in a particular way—not to encourage betting.
4. No Financial Guarantees or Betting Advice
The content on this website is editorial and opinion-based.
Nothing on Inside The Paddock should be interpreted as betting advice, financial guidance or a guarantee of profit.
Any references to prices, odds or market movement are provided for informational context only.
Readers are encouraged to make their own decisions independently and responsibly.
5. Responsible Gambling Commitment
We strongly support responsible gambling.
If readers choose to place a bet, they should only do so if they are over 18 and within legal jurisdictions.
