FLAT RACING

Flat racing is conducted on level racecourses with no obstacles, and is typically run on turf, dirt, or all-weather surfaces. It dominates the racing calendar during the summer months, when faster ground conditions support optimal performance. The British flat season is anchored by the five Classics — the 1,000 Guineas, 2,000 Guineas, The Oaks, The Derby, and the St Leger Stakes — which serve as key markers for assessing form, pedigree, and potential. Our database includes 12 years of historical data for 307 flat races, encompassing all UK and Irish Group 1–3 races, key UK handicaps and every French Group 1, with detailed trends on winning profiles, draw bias, age, official ratings, jockeys, trainers, and more. This is an essential resource for punters looking to base their betting strategies on long-term patterns and performance metrics.
