Horse Racing Publications

Whether you're researching for business or pleasure, or just want to stay abreast of the latest trends, horse racing publications can enhance your knowledge and keep you informed. There are many publications, including magazines, books, journals and newsletters, that cover horse racing. Unless you have the resources to subscribe and read them all, you really need to pick and choose the ones that meet your needs.

Magazines on horse racing offer a variety of resources, and there's a huge selection to choose from, but many are costly. The trick is to get the most information from the fewest resources, thus saving you money and keeping you informed so you don't have to read all day. When deciding which horse racing journal to choose, remember the following:

1. Some horse racing industry magazines offer free trial subscriptions so you can better determine whether the publication is for you.

2. When subscribing for publications, check the small print. Some publications require official cancellations of trial subscriptions or they will automatically start charging.

3. If possible, subscribe through a publication's website, rather than a magazine subscription site. You may receive additional tools and resources with your subscription.

Subscribe to horse racing track publications and receive subscription benefits

Some publications offer additional benefits with subscriptions, such as discounted prices or a second subscription at 50 percent off. With some publications, you have the opportunity to cancel your subscription without payment if you're not satisfied.
Try: A subscription with Thoroughbred Times includes the annual stallion directory, annual and mid-year auction reviews, the weekly magazine, and the Thoroughbred Times TODAY daily e-newsletter. There are also specials on subscriptions. Blood-Horse Magazine offers discounts on its print publication, and you can also sign up for their e-newsletters and email news alerts.

Take advantage of online horse racing magazines

E-mags and web publications have come a long way. Online publications may offer advantages that include additional newsletters, blogs, and readily available back issues. Internet publications are updated regularly; and if you have any questions, many have online forums for you to access.
Try: ST Publishing offers a wide selection of online publications for horse racing professionals and enthusiasts. ESPN provides a message board and up-to-date articles, among many other online resources. Horse Previews Magazine is an online magazine that offers current news and articles on horses, as well as access to back issues. Equidaily Racing Journal is an online roundup of the latest racing buzz.

Join a club or association for access to horse racing industry publications

If you are an industry enthusiast or professional, you may consider becoming a member of an association. Associations are dedicated to staying abreast of the latest industry news and trends. As a member, you'll receive access to free publications, as well as other informational resources.
Try: The National Thoroughbred Racing Association and the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association are both horse associations that offer online publications and articles to members. As a member, you'll also get access to additional industry tools and resources.

Check with your local library for horse racing books. Many also offer online access to horse racing journals you can view for free.
