When racing tipsters make their predictions, they have to consider factors like the horse’s health, age, and performances on past races. Also, the tipster has to study weather conditions, race track conditions, and jockey-horse chemistry to make a relatively accurate guess or prediction on which horse will finish first. Most of these salient factors are too scientific and complicated for regular punters. But you can easily learn how to observe the weather and see how it affects how horses run in a certain race.
Watch Horses Run In The Rain
A soggy horse track is a good way to observe how horses perform when it rains during a race. You see, some horses seem to run better on wet tracks while others do not. Some horses prefer dry tracks instead of wet ones. That is why you have to know how a particular horse fared in rain-drenched tracks compared to dry race tracks. If the horse runs well in both wet and dry tracks, then you don’t have to consider weather as a contributing factor to your horse racing tips. However, if there are inconsistencies and you can’t see a positive trend, this means that weather greatly affects how the horses run in the race.
Correlate Weather With How The Horse Finishes In A Race
So that you can test if the horse racing tips that you get are any good, you can associate the past performances of a particular horse and the weather conditions of its previous races. If you find out that the horse tends to finish in the top 2 when it rains, you should put your money on that horse only if the weather bureau forecasts rain in that particular race. Tipsters think that way when they factor in weather conditions into their horse racing tips. When the day is sunny and the track is dry and hot, they would never put your money on a horse which tends to perform well when it rains.
Do Not Push Your Luck
You also have to remember that in very harsh weather conditions, some horses may win out of pure luck. The win may be a fluke. Unless you really know that the horse you are betting on thrives in bad weather conditions, the best thing do is to think that all horses have fairly equal odds to finish first. An underdog can basically outrun the favorite in any given race. Yet, your horse racing tips will tell you that a certain horse’s odds are lower than most, and that is where you should put your money on.
Professional tipsters, be it on the race tracks or online, rely so heavily on steady figures and stats to come up with very accurate predictions. That is why consistency is very important if you want to study the role of weather in predicting the outcome of horse races. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to study the relationship between weather patterns and the horses’ performance during earlier races to get horse racing tips.

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.
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.
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

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.
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.
Its people like you, that pissin' an moanin', that ruin the world…………………..
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.
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.
