Rankings

Best for: UK racing punters who play exotic pool bets or back outsiders late

The Tote pays out of a shared pool, with a Tote Guarantee that matches or beats SP on win bets. We compared that promise with bookmaker Best Odds Guaranteed and showed what a pool deduction does to a price.

Best for: New York racing fans who mostly bet NYRA tracks

NYRA Bets is the New York Racing Association's own wagering app. We worked out what its points are worth, where the streaming helps, and when a rebate shop beats it.

Best for: Newer horse bettors who want simple exotic tickets

FanDuel Racing is the former TVG, a horse-wagering app whose big selling point was TV coverage. That coverage is being wound down, so we checked what a bettor still gets and which facts we could only find dated 2022.

Best for: Serious handicappers who use ABC, dutching and conditional wagering

AmWager pays points that convert at 1,600 to the dollar, which works out to a rebate between 0.25% and 1.25% of handle. We priced each tier and tested the case for a high-volume switch.

Best for: Bettors who mostly play Stronach tracks and want streams and promos in one app

1/ST BET is the Xpressbet successor run by the company behind Santa Anita and Gulfstream. It streams 300-plus tracks and runs tidy multi-race pools, but we found no rebate schedule and a $5 card fee.
