2. Racing.com @Racing
The heartbeat of Victorian and South Australian Racing is yet to prove a profitable venture but there is little doubt it has enhanced the punting experience for the aforementioned racing jurisdictions.
The wide range of programs on Racing.com are informative for the punter and most importantly the breaking news and trainer interviews can provide great insight.
The best part of the resource though in our opinion is the coverage of trials and jumpouts which in Victorian racing can be difficult to follow.

4. Punters.com.au @punters
It is often a light-hearted look at Australian racing but it is always a good way of catching up on the happenings of the industry across the board.
Their partnership with the trial files is handy for those looking to get a read on a horse resuming, their odds grid is a great tool as is their speed maps.
That all being said, what these guys do best is social media. A blend of humor, valuable info and everything in between.
A couple of interesting runners will make their Australian debut on Saturday for @lindsayparkrace: https://t.co/EL8XoaqnKs
