This February, The Sporting Base is launching a fully upgraded racing form guide and free black book system, built from the ground up to make tracking horses simple, fast and meaningful — with automatic notifications and a cash-prize competition built in.

Finding winners is hard enough. Forgetting them, missing the price, or watching someone else profit from the same horse is just cruel. This black book makes sure you don’t miss the follow-up — and lets you compete for cash prizes while you’re at it. Read on to see how it works.

Our free black book is completely customisable to you.

You can:

  • Add horses directly from the form guide

  • Add runners instantly via the search bar

  • Write notes that actually make sense when the horse runs again

  • Receive alerts when markets open so you don’t miss the early price, plus a race-morning reminder

  • Compete against other users, with top-performing black books winning cash prizes based on ROI

Your black book is 100% yours. Add as many or as few horses as you like, track them how you want, and build it around your own betting style.

Never miss a price again

When a horse in your black book is accepted to run, we’ll make sure you know.

You’ll receive a notification via the app or email:

  • As soon as markets are released, so you don’t miss the early price

  • Again on race morning, as a reminder when it matters most

No more manually checking fields. No more finding out too late. Your black book works in the background so you don’t have to.


Follow us — only if you want to

If you choose to, you can also follow The Sporting Base Black Book.

When we add a horse to our black book, it will automatically appear in yours — but only if you opt in.
No copying. No extra work. No obligation.

Prefer to run your own race? That’s perfectly fine.
Follow us, unfollow us, or ignore it completely — your black book always stays in your control.

A black book with real stakes

This isn’t just a tracking tool — it’s a competition.

We’re launching a Black Book Leaderboard, where:

  • Your black book is tracked automatically

  • Performance is measured by ROI

  • Your results are compared against other users

The best-performing black books will win cash prizes, rewarding the punters who spot, track and time their horses best.

Build smart. Track well. Climb the leaderboard.
