‘I work alongside the press every day and have the greatest respect for them in their search for winners, but I find Marten Julian is an invaluable source of information and sound advice. He is not what you would call a tipster – his publications try to offer real insights into both horses and trainers – but he is always worth reading.’
Simon Clare, PR Coral Bookmakers

'In my opinion Marten Julian is the best racing adviser in Britain. He is certainly the one who takes the most intellectual approach to his subject. Few of his subscribers will forget last year's Royal Ascot. Had I not taken "a view" on Caribbean Monarch in the Hunt Cup, I could have retired on the winnings.' Kevin Smith, The Racing Club of Ireland
