Smartphone apps are revolutionising the way that people manage their lives and have fun. Horseracing is no different, with hundreds of apps available to racing fans to help them follow, bet on and experience racing in a new way.
Here are five of the best horseracing apps on the market.
Racing Post App: News, stats and tips
The Racing Post is an iconic racing daily that is now also a major online racing news source. While the Racing Post focuses primarily on the UK and Ireland, it also keeps tabs on major racing events in Australia, France, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa and Asia.
The main value the app offers to punters is its excellent editorials and news articles. Users can also access some of the best known tipsters in the world. You also won’t find a more in-depth resource for individual racehorse performance stats.
Derby Quest: Race trainer simulator
If you’ve ever wanted to role-play as a racehorse trainer, then Derby Quest is for you. This great little 3D racing game gives you complete control over a stable of horses. You feed, train and equip your horses with a view towards preparing them for the big day at the races.
Once your horses are ready to run, you take to the saddle and have the chance to ride them to victory in the Derby. Rated by many as the best designed horseracing game on the market, Derby Quest is a must for racing enthusiasts.

Rival Stars Horse Racing
There are in increasing number of racing games making their way onto mobile devices, but Rival Stores Horse Racing is a top 3D racing game and more. Playing the part of a stable owner you can experience all the elements of the racing game, from breeding to training and racing your stable’s horse.
Unlike many other racing games, the graphics are top notch and if you’ll excuse the fact that all the horses inexplicably run with their mouths open, you’re in for fluid, realistic race action when you take to the racetrack. Rival Stars Horse Racing follows a freemium model, which means you can get the game free on iPhone or the Play Store but also have the option to purchase in-game upgrades to get your horses to greatness quicker.
The Racing App: Race cards, results, simulations and in-app betting
The name says it all The Racing App strives to be The Racing App and is a serious challenge to the likes of the Racing Post. This app combines everything from attractively presented form, race cards and results to the ability to place bets within the app (iOS devices only).
One particularly novel feature is the app’s pre-race simulation feature. This uses available race and entry data to run a simulation of the race. These simulations not only look great, but give some real insight into how any given race will unfold.
