Who Is Robin Goodfellow?
Robin Goodfellow is the horse racing tipster column in the Daily Mail, one of the most established names in British newspaper tipping. The column publishes selections every day racing takes place, appearing in the Daily Mail’s print edition each morning and on Mail Online’s racing pages, and it has been a fixture of the paper’s sport coverage for many years.
Robin Goodfellow produces tips across UK and Irish racing – typically a NAP, a Next Best, and selections covering the day’s biggest meetings. Coverage steps up for the major festivals, where the column’s preview analysis extends to the headline races and ante-post markets.
What Robin Goodfellow Covers
Daily coverage:
- NAP – Robin Goodfellow’s single best bet of the day
- Next Best (NB) – the second-strongest selection
- Selections at the day’s leading and televised meetings
- Treble and accumulator-friendly picks across the card
- Ante-post pointers for major upcoming races
Festival coverage, where Robin Goodfellow’s analysis intensifies:
- Cheltenham Festival (March)
- Grand National at Aintree (April)
- Royal Ascot (June)
- Glorious Goodwood (July-August)
- St Leger Festival (September)
As with most newspaper columns, Robin Goodfellow’s selections tend to line up with the day’s featured and televised cards, which makes the Daily Mail a popular companion to ITV Racing’s weekend coverage.
Robin Goodfellow’s Tipping Style
Robin Goodfellow’s approach is built on traditional form study and a strong read of the day’s principal meetings. The NAP is a win-focused selection – the column’s highest-conviction pick of the day – rather than a longshot value play, and the full-card coverage means there are selections to work with well beyond the headline race.
That breadth is the column’s real strength. Where some tipsters concentrate only on the feature, Robin Goodfellow provides picks across the card, which makes the tips especially handy for punters building accumulators, Lucky 15s or multi-race daily plans.

- Cross-reference with the naps table. We check whether Robin Goodfellow’s NAP appears across the other major tipsters – Newsboy, Tom Segal (Pricewise) and Matt Chapman – and flag consensus picks on our daily newspaper naps table.

How to Bet on Robin Goodfellow’s Tips
Step 1 – Check the selections each morning. The Daily Mail’s racing pages and this page are both updated daily. Robin Goodfellow’s NAP is the single highest-conviction pick and the most popular bet to follow.
Step 2 – Open an account at a BOG bookmaker. Best Odds Guaranteed adds real long-term value to newspaper-led bets. Betfred, BoyleSports, bet365, Coral and Ladbrokes all offer BOG on UK and Irish racing.
Step 3 – Decide your bet structure. Robin Goodfellow’s daily output suits several approaches:
- Single on the NAP – the straightforward, lowest-risk play
- Win double – NAP plus Next Best
- Daily treble – three selections combined
- Lucky 15 – four selections in a 15-bet multiple (Betfred is worth using for the treble-odds bonus on a single winner)
Step 4 – Capture early prices. Newspaper tips are out early in the morning, so taking the NAP before Best Odds Guaranteed kicks in lets you lock in your price and still get BOG protection if the horse drifts to a bigger starting price.
Step 5 – Keep a record. Over a season, tracking your Robin Goodfellow-backed results helps you spot the meetings and race types where the column tends to perform best.
