Contrarian horse racing advice you can't get anywhere else...

Nick Pullen’s Against the Crowd delivers contrarian racing analysis and advice throughout the week.

The emphasis is on challenging and – where appropriate – opposing market sentiment. The objective is to identify and bet the horses the market under-values at the prices.

Opposing the consensus view and finding the value in the market is the ONLY way to make money from race-betting over the long term. It won’t cost you a single penny to find out how we get that job done….

'...Hell of a lot of detail goes into what you send out...'
"Hi Nick, Thank you for such a great insight as to how you do things at your end. Hell of a lot of detail goes into what you send out. Keep up the great work as I have 33 people in my social club who all love your racing tips."
Paul S (June 2026)
'...Thanks once again for all the excellent hard work and analysis...'
"Was on the big priced runner you put up at Newcastle on Friday evening. Thanks once again for all the excellent hard work and analysis you put in for us members Nick, take care my friend."
Frank H (June 2026)
'...How you managed to find these selections in those large fields I've no idea...'
"A very successful Ascot, many thanks for that. Although I'm not really that interested
in flat racing I do like to watch a big meeting especially if it is on TV. As the others have
already said, it was a sum well worth investing! How you managed to find these selections
in those large fields I've no idea. But there again, I've no need to, I'll let you do the hard
work and just punt them as instructed!"
Mick B (June 2026)
'...your analysis has been brilliant...'
"Good evening Nick, I trust this finds you well. No moans or groans in this email, no muttering about dubious tactics from high profile trainers and jockeys or blatant non-triers, but only praise for what has turned out to be an extremely profitable month of June. Apart from the "blips" that were Chester and York, your analysis has been brilliant and if a few of the near misses had won at the advised prices it would have been spectacular. I look forward to your emails just as much now, if not more so, as when I joined the service back in 2017. Keep up the good work."

'...salvaged my Royal Ascot with a 16-1 winner...'
"Just wanted to thank you on the suburb selections this past couple of weeks. I usually pick my own but when Blue RC beat my Indalo and Mazcala beat my Great Aclaim I gave up and followed you on the Friday which salvaged my Royal Ascot with a 16-1 winner. I have backed Al Shahab Storm many times being quite local to Chester where he's run a few times so would have seriously considered it but if not for your advice would have probably missed it running on Friday night. Got initially 24's on Betfair, then had to go in again at 34's and again at 46's!!!! Just sorry I didn't go in again at 48's (thought there must be something wrong with the horse!!) Well done and thanks again."
