Technology To Take With You Onto The Racecourse

The tech you need to make your raceday a success...Back in the day, the best piece of advice we could have given you is to keep a pencil on hand at the racecourse and while we still recommend you do this, we all know times have changed - sometimes this is for the better and yes, occasionally for the worse.

We don't like the idea that our phones distract us from real life action but these four apps are certainly the former and we have every confidence they will make your day at the races that bit easier and more enjoyable.

We'll start with our personal favourite (not that we're biased or anything!)... With the Old Gold Racing app you can track your horses' entries and declarations ahead of the raceday to make sure you never miss a run. You can also enter the ballots to win an owners badge and follow the action on and off the course using the Live Feed, so you don’t miss a second of the day, even if you can't make it there in person. Furthermore, it will allow you to discuss your horse's performance with fellow owners and celebrate when they win! Alongside catching up on past updates, pre and post-race details and tracking your own horses progression, the app also hosts previews for big race meetings, tips and so much more. Owners are also treated to discounts with out partners, including bookmakers, clothing designers and racecourses, allowing you to be better prepared for racedays and stable visits and at a better price. What's not to like!
