The Australian market is one that has been growing quite rapidly over the last few years. It’s a sport that many probably wouldn’t associate with Australia due to the popularity in Aussie Rules, cricket and rugby. But horse racing is actually as popular in Australia as anywhere in the world and to accompany this popularity they have some of the richest horse races going.

What differentiates Australia from say the UK was the speed in which they integrated mobile devices into their horse racing legacy. The timescale has been much longer than the UK, but having said that, even over the last couple of years the country have started to embrace mobile technology within the horse racing industry and apply it as the fantastic tool it is. Below we have included some of the best Australian horse racing apps to use which will range between bookmakers, live streaming apps and that of dedicated racing apps. Within in each section we feel that these apps can be used together to form a really comprehensive mobile horse racing portfolio for Australian punters.

The UK has been one of the world’s hot beds for horse racing for a number of decades now. The sheer volume of meetings held every day puts the majority of country’s to shame. Not only are there a plentiful amount of races taking place the coverage is also excellent.

The introduction of smartphones and tablet devices has meant the way in which we watch, bet and research horse racing has totally changed. Gone are the days of having to buy a local newspaper every morning to check the runners and riders or purchase a copy of the Racing Post to get some of the latest tips. These days, all that information is available from just the click of a button on your mobile device. It also means that this information is available on the move, so there are potentially no limitations to when or where you will be able to get a hold of your required information.

Horse racing in the US is definitely a market that’s still developing, especially when you compare it to say the UK or even Australia. The UK has pretty much always had the monopoly over the US, but Australia has definitely been a country which has leap frogged them. Whilst this isn’t necessarily because the US market has declined, it’s more that the rate of inflation has been much lower than that of its competitors.

That being said, the US still provide a massively healthy horse racing market and include some huge meetings of which prize money is as big as anywhere in the world. The mobile market is one that’s slowly starting to catch on in the US although it would appear that still bookmakers are reluctant to give the sport too much exposure, especially via their mobile apps. However, there is still a good range of apps and tools that can be sued on your mobile and target that of US horse racing.

Betting exchanges have revolutionised the way in which the modern day bettor bets. They have essentially allowed them to become their own bookmaker – if they so choose – whilst also giving them the option of placing bets as they would with a traditional bookmaker.

The main difference comes in the form of not actually betting against a bookmaker or even exchange for that matter. Instead bettors are placing bets against other bettors in a person to person transfer. This means that the bettor is actually setting their own line and then another person chooses to either take that bet or alternatively lay that bet.
