Today, like yesterday, I share my daily horse racing tips and cheat sheet covering everything you need to give the bookmakers a run for their money. I do the research, so you don’t have to. Published every morning, exclusively here on ReadHorseRacing.com by 10am.
Today’s horse racing schedule on April 19th, 2026

For those of you new to horse racing wondering what is a NAP, NB and E/W here it is.
Horse racing betting phrases
| Term | Meaning | Description |
| NAP | Best Bet of the Day | Derived from the card game “Napoleon.” This is a tipster’s most confident selection on a given racecard. |
| NB | Next Best | The tipster’s second strongest selection. If the NAP is the gold medal, the NB is the silver. |
| E/W | Each-Way | A two-part bet: one for the horse to Win and one for it to Place. It costs double your stake (e.g., a £5 E/W bet costs £10). |
| Full Lucky 15 | Comprehensive Multiple | A bet consisting of 4 horses across 15 separate bets: 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 four-fold accumulator. |
On top of that, I go a bit deeper and flag up the day’s HOT TRAINERS, A LAY OF THE DAY, REPEAT WINNERS that are in action after winning the same race last season plus the day’s LONGEST TRAVELLERS. I also keep an eye out for any other bits of knowledge that will give you an edge when betting on the horse racing at Curragh, Stratford and Plumpton today.
