Mobile devices provide many opportunities for you to become better at EZ Horse Betting. There are horse betting apps that you can download from the App Store and Google Play that will give you race information, speed figures, and even allow you to watch race replays from a smartphone or tablet. Having horse racing information at your fingertips is important if you want to cash tickets and win money at an online racebook.

We have examined many of the horse racing apps that are available and found several that every handicapper should have. Here are 5 horse racing apps that you should download right now.

1 – Today’s Racing by Equibase

Equibase is the industry leader when it comes to horse racing information. The company provides pedigree information, speed figures, and updated racing information for race tracks in North America. Today’s Racing is the official Equibase App, and it can be downloaded for free from the App Store and Google Play for iOS and Android devices. You can also get a download link from the Equibase website.

With Today’s Racing you get features such as racing schedules and entries for every North American track. You can also access workout information on horses in the US, and pedigree information is also available. One of the things we really like about the Equibase app is the Virtual Stable. When you add horses to your Virtual Stable you get all vital information on that horse delivered to your device. Notifications will be sent when the horse completes a workout, enters a race, and completes an event.

The downside of the Equibase app is that it only provides coverage for North American tracks at the present time. For racing information from Australia and Europe you will need a different app.

2 – At The Races

Perhaps you prefer making wagers on races in the UK. If so, At The Races is the app you need to download. This app for Apple and Android mobile devices is the go-to source for all UK and Irish thoroughbred horse racing. Highlights of the app are race cards from all the important tracks, and it even provides racing form information to assist you with your handicapping.

Something we really like is that At The Races includes video replays of horse racing for free. This is very helpful when you need to see with your own eyes how a horse performed in its last out. You can also receive breaking news from the app, so you will always be up to date on any changes that could impact the running ability of a horse.

There is a special section of the app that is devoted to stakes racing in the UK. These big races offer the best betting opportunities, so it is always useful to know which stakes are coming up on the racing calendar.

3 – Photo Finish

Who doesn’t like a great horse racing game to play on their mobile device? Photo Finish has long been one of the most addictive horse racing games for mobile devices. These games are great for when there are no races to bet at your favorite online racebook. Photo Finish is free to download but be advised that it does contain in-app purchases.

In Photo Finish you can manage the career of your very own race horse. You are able to hire the trainer and jockey, and you can move the horse up from the bottom ranks to the top of the standings. The ultimate goal for those who play this app is to win the Crown of Horse Racing.

The graphics in the game are about as good as anything you will find in the category of games. On the downside there is a little learning curve in mastering how to maneuver your horse in races. Once you get this settled, though, the game is fun. It will stir up your desire to watch real races at an online racebook and make those wagers.

4 – Blood-Horse Daily

News is important in the world of horse racing. Those who have access to the most recent news are going to be better equipped to make horse racing picks and bets. Blood-Horse Daily is the official app of Blood-Horse magazine, one of the most respected publications in the horse racing industry. You can download the app for free from Google Play or the App Store.

For many years Blood-Horse has been a primary source of information on race horses, jockeys, trainers, and more. Now you don’t have to wait for the magazine to arrive to get the latest news. You can get breaking news immediately delivered to your mobile device.

Blood-Horse today also offers thought-provoking articles on the state of the horse racing industry. The reporters and others working for the magazine have many years of combined horse racing experience.

5 – Your Online Racebook App

Finally, no handicapper should be without an online racebook app. If your racebook offers one of these for mobile betting, we recommend that you download it at once. As you know, EZ Horse Betting recommends Bovada as a good online racebook. While the company does not have a dedicated mobile app at the moment it is possible to access your Bovada online racebook account with a phone or tablet.

For those who prefer an actual mobile app for horse betting, we suggest Twin Spires. You can use your Twin Spires account to make bets with the mobile app. You will be able to access all of the same betting options that you have on the regular site, and you can also access replays when you wager a certain amount of money in a given month.  Here is an in-depth review of TwinSpires.
