Keep The Paddock running
The Paddock is free, has no adverts, no betting links, and no paywall, and it stays that way. What it does have is a data feed and a server to pay for. If it saves you a morning of hunting for post times and streams, a few dollars covers your share.
What it costs
Roughly, per month. The data feed is the big one; the rest is small. Figures are estimates and will be kept current.

The deal
- Every page stays free. No supporter-only cards, no early access. Our data licence forbids reselling the data, and a paywall would be exactly that, so this is a principle with teeth.
- No adverts, no bookmaker links. The Paddock tells you what’s running and where to watch it. It doesn’t tell you what to bet.
- Donations are donations. Not tax-deductible, not a subscription to anything, cancel a monthly gift whenever you like.
- Surplus goes back in. If gifts exceed costs, the extra goes on making the site better: new features, more courses drawn, and time spent getting the details right.
Other ways to help
- Tell us what’s wrong. A stream listed for the wrong region, a course we don’t have, a term the guide explains badly.
- Send it to one person who keeps asking you what channel the racing is on.
