Horse race betting can be the best way to make some extra money but for that, you would need to have the ability to make accurate predictions. Now as you would know, there is a difference between a successful punter and another person, the punter would know how exactly to determine the results of the race. On an average, you would find people making the most outrageous horse racing bets to add that extra touch of excitement to the game but they often leave empty handed. Betting is a game where only the wise one takes the gold, you can only win if you make the right decisions.
Most of us have at one time or another made an outrageous bet at the spur of the moment but little did we know that it would turn out to be unfruitful. The safest bet in horse racing betting is to stick to the simple strategies and not get carried away by complicated bets that are being promoted by the bookmakers. These bets are merely ways to cheat you out of your precious money.
Here below are some ways by which you can lower your losses and increase the chances of winning.
• Set aside the money that you plan to invest beforehand. It is a good idea not to bet more than 5% on any particular selection, anything lower is also fine.
• A word of advice – do not take out cash for tipsters. Some may be genuine but most of them cheat you and give you no such valuable information in return. In fact, you could suffer major losses if you follow the wrong advice. It is best to stay away from such people.
• Be wise and keep records of all the bets that you make. This would no doubt require a little bit of effort on your part but you would notice much more discipline in yourself. Also, this is a good way to find out your strengths.
• Try to practice handicapping. Also, you can take straight bets if you are not sure of the other kinds. The exotic bets may be a little complicated to understand initially but you would soon get accustomed to them once you start betting.
• To get proper information and the right help, go on the internet and check out the advices posted by other betters, which can help you make right decisions.
• Never make outrageous horse racing bets that are promoted in the Betting Shop window. The reason behind this is simple; they would only profit the bookmaker while you find your wallet becoming lighter. You would not profit from these bets in any way so refrain from making such bets
Hopefully, this information would help you take wise decisions when you head out to the racetrack. Although horse race betting is extremely fun, do not forget that it is a game of chances. You can lose millions or win millions so make sure to invest only what you can afford to lose. However, learning more about the game would definitely be a bonus, making wise and calculated choices shall take you far and would help earn some major money. Good luck and avoid making rash decisions.

Nice work, you did pretty good.
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Most owners actually don't make money racing.
Only about 70% of all Thoroughbreds ever get to the races, and only about 55% of all Thoroughbreds ever win a race. It costs about $25,000, give or take a few thousand, to keep a horse in training for a year; more for the major racing centers like New York or Southern California, less for tracks away from the major population centers. roughly 10-15% of all Thoroughbreds earn enough money during the course of a year to cover their training expenses.
Some owners can recover the residual value of their horse at the end of its racing career by selling, but most racehorses– particular male racehorses– have residual value that is low or even zero at the end of their racing careers.
Basically, most people who are in racing are in it for the excitement, the fun, the competition; and the hope that maybe they'll be the one to strike it rich with a horse like Mine That Bird– or one of his relatives. It's the hope of getting that one special horse, plus the love of racing in general, that keeps people going.
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
As I always say, there's a village missing it's idiot somewhere and they can usually find them trolling on here. They think that if they repeatedly ask the same question and rave their PETA misinformation, that someone might actually end up agreeing with them. Let's hope not!
You can go to the site for the Daily Racing Form at it should answer your questions also at any track the program will have instructions inside the cover explaining how to read the form and also how to make all wagers including the exotics.
Perfect.
hm i couldn’t tell the difference between photograph and painting comparing the final resault.
This is sick
Its people like you, that pissin' an moanin', that ruin the world…………………..
Hi,
A jockey has a very dangerous job, but a very important one. He must guide the horse in the correct way as to know how his horse runs, and performs during a race. It is his responsibility to get his horse in the correct position, and know how to guide him through traffic going at very high speeds while the rest of the field is fighting to do the same. Jockey error has played a huge roll in injuries to other jockey's and horses. The horse does the running, but it is up to the jockey to know how fast the horse runs, and when to ask the horse for his best without compromising. So the roll of a jockey is very important. Without a jockey it would be like racing a car with no driver. Hope this explains it to you.

You have to sign up, but it's completely free. There's no fees for watching or betting. And they have like 60 tracks you can watch. It's a great service.
Several tracks have their own broadcasts on their website, but xpressbet is great because you can get all the tracks in one place and place a bet if you'd like.

how is this not a real photo?
i don't like the gambling, the horse race is alright, mainly only good in the Kentucky Derby when you are really rooting for a horse to get the triple crown
Very nice!!
You need to go to a reputable trainer and tell him you're interested in buying a horse. Tell him how much you've got to spend and he'll do the rest. He might have a horse in his yard that's already for sale or he might go out and buy one for you.
Don't go buying horses over the internet!
The flat trainer Richard Hannon has had some good successes with cheaply bought horses in the past. He trains in Wiltshire.

Don't forget you'll have to contribute towards the horse's training expenses every week so the more people involved the cheaper it will be.
amazing! Willy teach me how to paint like you!
I think this gives a good explanation of the definition of the various track conditions:
http://www.ultimatecapper.com/track-conditions.htm
That said, it's important to note that because there is no standard for track composition in terms of sand, silt, clay, loam, organic matter, and every track is different, each track plays differently. To cite one example, the track at Aqueduct has a high sand content because the dates run at Aqueduct are typically the wettest times of the year. So the track superintendent finds it beneficial to have a lot of sand in the track to assure fast drainage. The result is that when there has been a lot of rain, the main track at Aqueduct can be like a wet beach– it packs down and gets harder. You may get faster times on such a track than when the surface is rated "fast".
Churchill Downs historically has had a high clay content in the track surface, with the result that the track can be very cuppy at best of times ("cuppy" means that when a horse strides on it, the hoofprint forms a "cup" on the surface of the track; it has depth, and it holds its shape rather than immediately crumbling) and can be really sticky and tiring when it gets wet.
A lot depends, too, on how the track superintendent deals with rainfall. At Santa Anita and Hollywood Park in the pre-synthetic days, the superintendents had enough time in most cases to get out the heavy roller equipment and "seal" the track before rain came. Basically when they seal the track, they're rolling and compacting the surface so that instead of water penetrating and making the track muddy down deep, the water just runs off the surface and drains away. Of course, the problem with this is that even when they opened the track surface in preparation for the day's racing, there was some compaction and the track would tend to get harder. During some of our rare wet winters, the track superintendent would sometimes have to close the track to exercise in order to do deep harrowing and conditioning of the subsurface and base after the track had been repeatedly sealed.
With synthetic surfaces, I think everyone, including the people who manufacture and install them, is still on a learning curve of what has to be done to keep the track consistant and safe in all kinds of weather.
From a handicapping standpoint, the important thing to remember is that each track is unique, and that you have to become familiar with what the weather conditions do to the the individual track surface.
