Welcome to our Templegate Tips review, where we investigate if this free horse racing tipster from The Sun is worth following and whether you can make money from the tips.
Introducing Steve Mullen, who is the successor to Steve Jones, who was the original Templegate tipster.
His first tip for Sun Racing was posted on 29th March 2021, so we assume that is when he took over from the other Steve.
This tipster is quite prolific, offering a tip for each race across several meetings.
It does make you think about the research process. Either they are dedicating a significant amount of time to find selections, or perhaps they've developed an automated system.
Without any specific information from them, we're left to speculate.
We couldn't find any results for Templegate on the Sun Racing website. But you know what? That's actually quite common with these newspaper tipsters. They seem to rely on word of mouth to get their name out there. Keeping it a bit mysterious, maybe?
We decided to record our own Templegate Tips results and see how well the tipster performed across a period of three months.
It was a very interesting trial and you will definitely want to see what happened!
Key Details
The tips are posted daily on the Sun Racing website, usually late in the evening the day before the races take place. Odds taken from a bookmaker are displayed next to each tip, which may be the best odds available at the time they are posted, but it is not clear.

Review Notes
For our Templegate Tips review, we aimed for three months of results at a minimum in order to be able to analyse results fairly.
We reached 2,469 bets in total, with an average of 27 bets per day.
Our results include profit and loss at the odds available on the day of the races, with all bets at 1 point level stakes on the race winner market.
Results
Our Templegate Tips review results were, in a word, shocking.
We chose to follow the tipster for three months and tracked the available odds on the day of the races. The reason we didn't track the odds from the evening that they were posted was because it was usually past 11.00pm, or in other words, past our bedtime!
The first month was a disaster, with £258.02 lost using £10 per pt stakes.
From there, it only got worse.
By the end, we had lost a total of £3,407.62, or 340.8 points.
To put that into perspective, if you had started with a standard £1,000 starting bank, you would have lost it, then lost it again... and then lost it a third time. It was brutal!

Verdict
Templegate Tips may be free and appear popular, but our in-depth review painted a far less favourable picture. It was a truly disastrous outcome from our three months of results.
The staggering £3,407.62 loss speaks for itself.
For anyone considering following these tips, we strongly advise exercising extreme caution, or better yet, avoiding them altogether.
This experience serves as a stark reminder of the risks involved in blindly following horse racing tipsters without verifiable results, even if you are saving on subscription fees!
