About Racenet
Racenet.com.au is one of Australia’s longest running horse racing news, tipping and form guide websites and it was sold to Punters.com in November, 2018, in a deal valued at $17 million.
The deal was reviewed by the ACCC but it was deemed that there are numerous alternative sources of online racing news, horse racing tips and information for consumers other than Punters and Racenet.
Both Punters and Racenet now fall under Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp banner, along with Australian bookmaker – betr.
Racenet website design
The Racenet website has recently undergone a full revamp but the overall layout remains familiar for experienced users and provides easy navigation for new users.
The Racenet site navigation is down the left-hand side of the screen and lists important sections that you can navigate to from anywhere on the site.
At GoBet, we frequently use the Racenet website when reviewing form for upcoming races, keeping up with the latest horse racing news, reiewing expert racing tips, and utilising their in-depth Blackbook features to keep track of all our favourite horses.
The Racenet website provides a unique experience to racing enthusiasts, making it one of the best betting sites Australia has to offer – while not being a bookmaker.
Racenet has an excellent betting app for horse racing fans, which makes it easy to read the latest news and research horse racing form on the go and itâs available at the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Racenet also feature some bookmaker reviews to help you find the best horse racing betting site for your needs.
Racenet form guide
The Racenet form guide is as in-depth as it gets and beginners and serious punters alike are able to analyse all aspects of upcoming races – including the Melbourne Cup.
Racenet’s form guide is easy to navigate with upcoming days appearing at the top and the race tracks and races listed below. Australian tracks are listed above international races. From there, you can browse more details for each race and each racehorse – whatever deatils you are looking to analyse for upcoming races, you will find it in Racenet’s racing form guide section.
Racenet blackbook
One of our most used features of the Racenet website is the Blackbook feature.
Every punter knows the value of a well-kept blackbook, and Racenet’s Blackbook has everything you need to keep track of horses, trainers, jockeys, sires and dams. You’ll be able to keep detailed notes on all areas of racing, and in our opinion, the only bookmakers that comes close with their Blackbook feature are Neds and Ladbrokes.

Overall, GoBet.com.au rates Racenet.com.au as an excellent resource for the serious horse racing punter. Racenet provides a wealth of knowledge and will become one of your most visited sites. For beginners, Racenet provides a comprehensive source of horse racing information to help you become an expert.
