From the thrill of the big festivals to the hidden stories behind the winners, racing is a sport packed with passion, drama and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re a seasoned punter or just love a day at the races, staying on top of the form, the tips and the stories that matter makes all the difference.
I’m Jonathan Doidge, The Independent’s Racing Correspondent – lifelong racing fan, broadcaster, and still working my way to completing a visit to every racecourse in Britain.
Each week in my Independent Racing newsletter, I bring you the inside track on the sport: what to watch out for, who’s in form, and which horses might just be worth keeping an eye on.
With years spent in the paddock, the press room and the stands, I’ll take you behind the scenes of the racing world – sharing insight, anecdotes and expert knowledge that help you see the sport in a new light. Expect race previews, weekend tips, and a dose of racing nostalgia along the way.
Whether you’re tuning in for Cheltenham or following the Flat, Independent Racing is your weekly guide to the sport’s biggest moments and best-kept secrets.
