Data sources and credits
Racecards and results
Racecards (races, declared runners, jockeys, trainers, weights, draws, official ratings and the going) and results for British and Irish racing come from The Racing API, an independent racing data service. We store every result we receive, so the jockey, trainer and horse figures on this site count the results in our own archive. We publish factual race data only: no third-party ratings, comments or tips.
Big-race history
The rolls of honour on the big race pages (year, winner, jockey, trainer and, where listed, starting price) come from Wikipedia, used under CC BY-SA 4.0 and linked from each page.
Racecourses, jockeys and trainers
Course locations come from Wikidata (CC0). Photos of courses, jockeys and trainers appear only where a photo on Wikimedia Commons carries a free licence; the photographer and licence are shown with each one. We never use racecourse, broadcaster or agency photography. The coastline on the racecourse map is from Natural Earth (public domain).
Headlines
Stories from these publishers are shown as cards: the headline, the picture the publisher attaches to the story in its own feed or link preview, the publisher's name and the time. The picture loads from the publisher's own servers and every card opens the full story on the publisher's site. We never copy the article. A publisher who would rather not appear can tell us through the contact page and we will remove its feed.

Our own stories
Morning previews, results round-ups, big-race reports and the weekly jockeys and trainers piece are written automatically from the data above and checked against it before publication. They contain no quotes, no tips and no betting offers.
Corrections
If you see a wrong result or fact, please tell us through the contact page and we will check it against the source. Results can change after a stewards' enquiry; we follow the official result.
