Who Is Templegate?
Templegate is the senior horse racing tipster at The Sun newspaper. The Templegate column is one of British racing’s most widely-read daily tipster columns, with selections published in The Sun’s print edition each morning and on The Sun’s website by approximately 6am each day.
Templegate produces tips every day racing takes place in the UK and Ireland — typically a NAP, Next Best, and selections covering every race on the day’s most important meetings. The column carries particular weight during festival meetings (Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood, Grand National) where Templegate’s preview coverage extends to full ante-post analysis.

Templegate’s Tipping Style
Templegate’s approach combines deep form study with course-specific knowledge. His NAPs typically sit in the 6/4 to 7/2 range — confident win bets at moderate odds rather than longshot value plays.
The column’s strength is consistency and coverage. Where many tipsters focus narrowly on the day’s headline race, Templegate provides selections across the full racing card — making his tips particularly useful for punters constructing accumulators, Lucky 15s, or daily multi-race plans.
How Henry Curates the Daily Templegate Tips
Henry Gibbs, thatsagoal.com’s senior racing tipster, curates Templegate’s picks each morning as part of his daily racing coverage. The process:
1. Daily Sun column review. Henry reads The Sun’s racing pages each morning between 6am and 8am to capture Templegate’s published selections before BOG kicks in at 7am (Betfred) and 8am (most other bookmakers).
2. Cross-reference with the naps table. Henry checks whether Templegate’s NAP appears across other major tipsters’ selections (Newsboy, Pricewise, Matt Chapman) — consensus picks get flagged on our daily newspaper naps table.
3. Henry’s own analysis layer. Henry adds his own commentary on each day’s Templegate selections — flagging where he agrees, where his analysis differs, and where the price has moved overnight in a way that affects value.
4. Daily publication. Templegate’s tips appear on this page by 9am each racing day, with Henry’s commentary added by 10am.

How to Bet on Templegate’s Tips
Step 1 — Check Templegate’s selections each morning. The Sun’s racing pages and this page are both updated daily. Templegate’s NAP is the single highest-conviction pick — the most popular bet to back.
Step 2 — Open an account at a BOG bookmaker. Best Odds Guaranteed adds significant long-term value to Templegate-led bets. Betfred (BOG from 7am), BoyleSports, bet365, Coral and Ladbrokes (all BOG from 8am) all qualify.
Step 3 — Decide your bet structure. Templegate’s daily output supports several betting approaches:
- Single bet on the NAP — straightforward, lowest risk
- Win double — combine NAP + Next Best
- Daily treble — three Templegate selections combined
- Lucky 15 — four Templegate selections in a 15-bet multiple (use Betfred for the treble odds bonus on one winner)
Step 4 — Capture early prices. Templegate’s tips are published from approximately 6am. Backing his NAP before 7am at Betfred (when BOG kicks in) is the optimal time — you lock in your price plus get BOG protection if the SP drifts.
Step 5 — Track results. Across a racing season, recording your Templegate-backed results helps identify the meetings and race types where the column performs best.
