Frequently asked questions
What is IvyArc?
IvyArc is a data-driven horse racing analysis platform covering UK, Irish, and South African racing. It publishes ranked racecards, runner profiles, and per-race insight, free to use with no account required for basic access.
Is IvyArc free to use?
Yes. Racecards, runner profiles, and form data are available without an account. A free membership unlocks enhanced analysis, and no tier of membership is charged for.
Does IvyArc provide betting tips?
No. IvyArc publishes model ratings and race analysis — not tips, and not betting recommendations. It is an analytics product, not a tipster service, and it does not endorse gambling.
Which racing does IvyArc cover?
Race meetings in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Africa. Today's and tomorrow's racecards are published daily.
What is on a racecard page?
Every runner in a race, ranked, with form history, jockey and trainer statistics, and course and going data, organised in one place so a race can be assessed quickly.
What do the ratings mean?
Every runner receives a rating plus win and place probabilities. A rating is a comparative statement about one field on one day — it is not a price, a tip, or a recommendation. A higher rating means a stronger case on the data available for that race.
How does the rating model work?
The model weighs many aspects of a runner's recent form and today's race conditions, then produces a rating and probabilities for every runner. The exact inputs and how they are combined are proprietary. What IvyArc publishes is the output: the ratings, the probabilities, and the analysis built on them.
Do I need an account to browse?
No. Basic racecards, runner profiles, and form data are open without an account; a free membership adds enhanced analysis.
How is my data handled?
IvyArc uses cookieless analytics and publishes a privacy policy under South Africa's POPIA, alongside terms of service and a cookie policy.
