Life's hard in a two-horse race

Article Abstract:

There has been strong competition between Sporting Life and Racing Post, the UK's two daily racing newspapers, since the mid-1980s. This has benefited readers, as both newspapers have had to cut their cover price. Racing Post, owned by Sheikh Mohammed, runs at a loss, but emphasises that its commercial performance has improved recently. Sporting Life has recently undertaken a reshuffle in an effort to attract new readers.
