This update, published on 25 September 2026, revisits the Friday tipster league standings first tracked on 4 September. Newsboy of the Daily Mirror remains the sole ranked selector in that table, and the picture for newmarket horse racing tipsters has barely changed since the original report.
Updated Leaderboard Position for Friday
Newsboy still sits alone at the top of the standings, since he remains the only tipster with settled bets in this 30 day tracking window. He has posted 186 settled bets, with 44 winners to his name, in the current 30 day window.
Despite that volume of activity, his overall figures remain in the red for the period. Newsboy is running at an overall points deficit across those 30 days, with his return on investment also in the red.
The Existing Friday Tipster Standings Breakdown
The most recent settled day in the window was Thursday, 3 September, when Newsboy made 25 selections across meetings at Newcastle, Salisbury and Southwell. He landed 7 winners from those 25 picks, comfortably above his average across the wider window.
Even so, the day still closed with a small loss overall. That is a reminder that a strong day of winners does not always mean a profitable one, once stakes and starting prices are weighed up.
How Newmarket Horse Racing Tipsters Compare in the Standings
Newmarket horse racing tipsters do not yet have a rival table to measure themselves against, because Newsboy is currently the only tracked selector with any settled bets to his name. Seven other tipsters followed by this desk, Alex Hammond, Andrew Asquith, Harry Wilson, Paul Kealy, Rob Wright, Robin Goodfellow and Templegate, all remain at zero settled bets. Their tipster standings therefore cannot yet be set against his own figures.
Until those seven post results of their own, any comparison stays one sided by definition. Readers tracking Newmarket fixtures specifically can still browse our earlier each-way tips at Newmarket and Brighton. Those picks sit outside this settled tracking window and do not feed into the league figures above.
What Happens Next in the Tipster League
The table will only broaden once Alex Hammond, Andrew Asquith, Harry Wilson, Paul Kealy, Rob Wright, Robin Goodfellow or Templegate begin logging settled bets of their own. Until then, Newsboy’s numbers are the only ones this desk can report with confidence.
For the fuller run of recent form, our thursday tipster league analysis and the wednesday tipster league standings update both track how these figures have moved through the week. The original Friday standings report carries the full breakdown this update builds on.
