GO IN-PLAY TODAY

The opportunity to back or lay horses during a race has given rise to entirely new betting strategies.

A unique range of In-Play symbols has been created using the expertise of Timeform’s race assessors. These detail the key aspects of a horse’s racing character and style, so going In-Play can also help you to analyse how a race is likely to be run.

The In-Play symbols are part of Race Passes and the Horse Search facility.
