To get started, just say: “Alexa, open Neds.” You’ll get a brief introduction to the other questions you can ask Neds using Alexa. You can also use any of the other commands directly by just saying, for example: “Alexa, ask Neds – what’s the next race?” Once you’ve opened the Racing Events by Neds skill, Alexa will prompt you if there’s anything else she can help with until you say “No” or “Stop.”

  Alexa will respond with the location of the next race, and how long until it jumps.
  
• “Who is the favourite?”
  Alexa will reply with the entrant in the next race to jump that currently has the lowest odds at Neds.
  
• “What is the track condition?”
  This one gives you the track rating of the track at the venue where the next race to jump is being held.
