Reviews: What Users Say About TwinSpires
The free Brisnet PPs alone make this the best app. I save hundreds per year on data that I used to pay for separately. The Ultimate Past Performances have helped me hit more trifectas than ever.
Jan 2026
Been using since 2010. Never had a single payout issue. The replay library is unmatched – I can study any race from years ago to prep for rematch situations. TSC Elite perks are solid.
Dec 2025
Great app for serious bettors. The Edge page picks help when I'm unfamiliar with a track. Could use a UI refresh but the functionality is rock solid. Trifecta Tuesdays are a nice bonus.
Nov 2025
Derby Day is seamless. The app handles huge volume during Triple Crown races and never crashes. Enhanced customer service on Derby Day is a nice touch. Very impressed with the reliability.
May 2025
Switched from NYRA Bets specifically for the free Brisnet data. For anyone who handicaps seriously, the Ultimate PPs are worth the switch alone. International track coverage is also superior.
