Right lads, I'm thinking of jumping on this Twitter bandwagon that's been rolling for a while now....
Anyway, if anyone on the horse racing forum can advise who's worth following in the racing world that would be great.
Whether it be trainer's, jockeys, tipsters etc.

Thanks in advance

Horse Racing Twitter Accounts To Follow

I have put together my list of horseracing twitter accounts for you to follow. These is not intended to be a complete list, I have listed some of my personal favourites at the top, then I have listed a lot more racing people you might want to check out. Some are trainers, some jockeys, some tipsters, some significant others.

Don’t forget the Major either…. @tdl123…;.. for your unhinged, rarely profitable gambling advice.

The Majors Top Ten Favourite Horseracing Twitter Accounts

In no particular order….

Brendon Powell Jnr @brendanp1995

The young jockey, Brendan tweets regularly and keeps you up to date with his movements. Plenty of banter with other jockeys too.

David Crosse @DavidCrosse

Hard working National Hunt jockey who is very active on Twitter.

Paul Nicholls @PFNicholls

The Major found out Denmans retirement on Twitter thanks to the might Paul Nicholls who uses twitter to share a lot of Dicheat info.

Chris Graham @SportingbetCG

Sporitng opinion and a slice of a music, beer and good times from the man who puts the Sportingbet podcast together.

Cornius Lysaght @Corneliusracing

Great feed to follow from the BBC racing man in the know.

David Johnson @DavidJohnson82

Superb racing opinions from the Timeform man – Often offers up some great observations about something many would miss in the next days racing.

Eliot Bishop @ETB89

A footy and racing fan, always happy to share his tips…. interesting views, has a decent handle on Ian Williams runners.

Tracksuit Dave @TracksuitDave1

Loves tracking an Ellison gamble!!! That’s all I’ll say.

Bruce Millington @Brucemillington

The editor of the Racing Post posts great opinion, often swims against the tide and comments on a wide range of sport….

Clive Crossman @kingofbumpers

Does exactly what his Twitter name suggests! Blinding tipping in British bumpers and not afraid to put up the big numbers.

Jebus Johner fair play to you.

Now, out of all them who are worth following. Ie who interacts the most, who gives a good guide on their upcoming rides, news etc.

@AtTheRaces

@CheltFestNews

@HRacingTavern

@irishp2p

@Oddschecker

@Racing_Post

@Corneliusracing

Most of the above will cover off all of the ones in the list below. They'll retweet anything from the jockeys worth knowing. Jockeys don't really say much. The CheltFestNews one is run by Wetherbys and they'll tweet a good few times every day.

I also follow Gordon Elliott and Jessie Harrington. All Elliott will do is post up links to his Betfair blog. Jessie hasn't got into the swing of things but when she tweets it's worth listening to!

Nicholls will be like Elliott in that he'll just direct you to his BF Blog. In fairness to most of the trainers, they can't really reveal a whole lot via Twitter.
