First Class Racing Review: Horse Racing Tips for Busy People
Quick Summary
Introduction
Introducing Mel Gee, who has been providing horse racing tips at Bet Chat since 2021.
Mel has a disciplined and patient approach, offering just one or two bets per week on average and only betting on Class 1 races.
There are some benefits to focusing only on these high-quality races, as generally the quoted odds should hold up, and there is also more liquidity available.

Putting It to the Test
With a high strike rate and low drawdown, Mel recommends a starting bank of 20 points, so a £1,000 bank would work out at £50 per point stakes.
Based on the profit the service has reported and the cost of membership, a bank of around £2,000 or more would have been needed in order to make it worthwhile.
The service looks to have been very consistent with results and it may well be a “you pay for what you get” situation. This isn’t always the case, but I aimed to find out during my review.

First Class Racing Review Results
This tips service operates with a very low volume of bets, only placing wagers when there is absolute certainty that a horse is a good bet.
Impressively, it has generated a profit every year since its launch, proving that Mel has found an effective system that genuinely seems to work.
During my 12 month review, I recorded a total profit of 2.13 points, which worked out at £213.
Final Verdict
Given the membership fee of £599.97 annually at the time of my review, the profit generated wasn’t sufficient to cover it.
Although I did record a small profit, I cannot approve the service on this basis, but I felt that a neutral rating was fair.
