Claude Code on Horse Racing Experiment (April 2026)
The experiment uses Claude Code running in a Terminal in a MacBook Pro. Claude is, at this stage, given a UK 'racecard' each morning and also, in the evening, the results. Both are pdfs at the moment but a live connection to the information provider is planned. Claude then updates by ftp an associated website www.myluckyhorse.co.uk and finally picks the seven horses that it judges are the most likely to win. Each day it records the results and profit and loss, and reviews whether it should adjust its strategy.

Each category lists horses running that have related names, for example Royalty would bring up horses with names like King And Queen.
