It will also include a listings guide to sport on TV, giving prices on offer an expert opinions and tips.
The launch will be supported by a marketing campaign involving in-paper promotions, email promotions, race sponsorship and external newspaper advertising.
The new product is designed to boost the appeal of the paper to existing readers and to increase awareness of the Racing Post's sports coverage.
Chris Smith, editor of the Racing Post, said: "RPSPORT is one of the most exciting innovations in the history of the Racing Post operation. Our sports section has been growing and expanding for years but this is taking it not just one step further, but two or three."
