Horse racing can be fun, thrilling and exciting as well as profitable if you know a few insider strategies that can help you to win.
-
First, always make sure that you analyze the history of the horses’ previous performances when placing bets. Many experts have found that it can be more profitable to look for those horses that have the highest speed ratings. Generally, the higher the horse’s speed rating the more consistent the horse will be in winning. This is particularly true when it comes to sprint races, so make sure you pay attention to this.
-
Always make sure that you take into consideration the consistency of the horses’ prior races as well. Avoid betting on any horses that have not raced within the last month or so. Look for horses that have placed with the top three finishes during their last few races. This is usually a good indication that the horse will be in good shape and will have an increased chance of winning an upcoming race.
-
Class is also important when it comes to picking winners as well. Look specifically to see whether the horse is coming up in class. While this can sometimes lead to choosing a winner, that is not always the case. The main thing to look for is to determine whether the horse has raced within the same class recently. If the horse has raced within the same class and come out on top, this could be a horse that is ready to keep on the same winning streak.
-
When possible, try to make sure you know the condition of the track on race day. In the event that the track will be muddy or sloppy in some other way, look for horses that prefer taking a front lead. When the track is muddy, horses that like to take the early lead will generally have better chances of winning.
-
Finally, remember that just because a horse lost their last race that does not mean that you should not consider them, especially if they were a favorite. The horse could still be in good shape and actually have a good chance of winning an upcoming race. Be sure to check the odds, especially on the morning of the race, to determine whether this may be a horse that you want to place your money on.

honestly while you do make some very valid points I think it's crap & you need to do a little more research on racing and maybe even experience the whole management aspect of it personally. What happened to Barbaro was a FREAK ACCIDENT, Had he not raced in the Preakness he probably would have broken it in his paddock or in the belmont, there is no way we will ever know. Throughbreds are born to run, some have stronger bone structure than others it's just the luck of the draw. I can tell you this much you are gonna hack off a lot of avid racing fans and people who work with the animals by posting this. Those racehorses get treated better than my own horses do and they are taken pretty damn good care of. Hell they are probably proivded for better than most children. I suggest you delve further into the sport instead of concentrating on the "evils" of horse racing. If you look at it logically, look at the accidents that happen in any horse related sport, they abound everywhere not just racing. So if you are gonna say racing is evil b/c of the accidents that happen in it, maybe you should just go ahead and say all us horse owners are cruel for putting an our horses through unnatural things. Go ahead and thumb me down i dont care but God you know nothings kill me when it comes to racing. You se eone thing and label the whole sport and everything surrounding it as evil. Sorry if i hurt you feelings or hacked you off but YOU asked
also honey Barbaro won in 2006 get your years straight
if you ride at a "top class jumper barn" then you should know about the hazzards of jumping to horses, ever see a horse hit the ground wrong after landing a jump and completely shatter his leg, and I mean to the point where bone splinters out of leg? I have seen it in person and this horse was about a 65,000 horse that was very very well taken care of and had plenty of rest between shows…… you may know when it comes to jumpers but it is obvious you don't know jack when it comes to race horses
No, the place and show odds will be quite different than the win odds, because the pool totals are different, generally the place and show pay outs will be less than the win price. Becuase you have more people betting on that particular situation.
2nd? This is surely an error as the only time I've previously come 2nd is in a game of chess
I'm down to my last new motor and may just go all out for this and hope for the best, how long is rosbif going to be busy?
As for a prize, I found a tin of oxtail soup in my kitchen cupboard, best before 04/06, any good? I may throw in a pack of broken biscuits and a black and white portable 5 inch tv too.
Well, the Tevis cup is 100 miles, in a single day, on a single horse. And a lot of folks have completed that challenge. I think having 10 horses per rider is not a test of horse endurance…but, what the heck. I'm willing to ride!
Add it to the American Endurance Ride Conference Ride Calendar.
Also, add it to the Endurance Net event calendar as well.
I like the premise: a bad bet changes a man's life with pieces of the day of the race interspersed with the race itself. However, I got lost as you introduced some characters and the bounty hunter when I have no idea what they have to do with the movie. I think it would be clearer if everything happened from your point of view. Some back story can be shown about you and Dennell and your relationship. Why a cop is giving advice on betting.
I like that you show the race starting and later show the bet being made, cutting back to your life, more about the race, etc.
I loved the movie Crash. It was the most interesting and upsetting movie I have seen since the Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Anatomy of a Murder. Only yours and Crash use the multiple viewpoints, so you might just be right in interweaving the characters like you do.
You can always email me if you like my comments or want to defend your point of view. It doesn't hurt to have a critic who is clueless to see if your idea makes sense to the person approaching the movie with no preconceptions.
ok, here goes:
1 and 3. I think these are related, his stiffness is probably due to injury. Let him warm up a bit and he'll be fine to work. Also, ask the vet about what sort of draft work will be ok for Sid based on his injures. He may not ever be able to pull again, or he might be fine with the light work you are suggesting.
2. If he was registered with the standardbred assocation, contact them about getting papers. You will have to prove that you bought him, and that he is the horse you are claiming he is. Send them his tattoo number.
4. A hard mouth doesn't mean that a horse can't feel the bit or the pulling, it just means they are not responding to the pulling. Heavy unresisting hands will create a hard mouth. A lot of racing horses are used to heavy pulling, as some use the bit to stabilize their heads. If you think he has a hard mouth, don't lean on the reins, begin working on teaching the horse to stop with your seat. This takes time, but it's doable. Also, if the horse is green, it may not know what exactly you are asking with the reins. This isn't a hard mouth, it's just ignorance.
5. Teaching a horse to longe does need 2 people. Have a friend lead the pony on the outside of the circle a few times to get him used to the idea of you being in the middle. A round pen helps too, but any enclosed arena will do.
6. If you paid cash and have a receipt, you own the pony, no ifs, ands or buts about it. My guess is that they owners either see that the pony is not useless and want to try to sell him for more, or they are not very bright. Unless there is some contract you made that says you will return him to them, he's yours. Tell your parents what they are doing, give them the receipt and under no circumstances should you give the pony back. And good for you rescuing him! I'm sure Darby is a lot happier now. A horse can tell the difference between the nasty person who abused him and the nice person who won't.
hahahahah! that was great! lolz
Leah, you don't need to be asking what this horse's favorite treats are. That's irrelevant, it totally is inconsequential.
The real question you need to be asking, since as far as I can tell you're trying to own this horse on a very tight budget: can you actually afford her?
Toward that end, you need to ask whoever you are getting her from if they will allow you to have a copy of her vet records (you offer to pay for the copying), and then you take the vet records to the vet who will be caring for her if you get her. You ask the vet what he thinks the medical costs associated with this horse are going to be.
It sounds like she's an old broodmare who may not have been used for riding regularly for a number of years. She may have problems that are going to be expensive to care for or could make her useless for whatever you want to do. Ideally, you'd have a pre-purchase vet check done, but if you can't afford that at least get a vet to look at her medical records.
You need to ask other questions:
1. When was she last ridden regularly (i.e., ridden at least every other day)?
2. What kind of riding was done with her (e.g., jumping, trail riding, dressage, western)?
3. Is there anyone I can talk to who has ridden her, who can tell me about her temperament and what she knows?
You need to be very honest about your level of expertise, because it sounds like this mare may be a "project." You need to be absolutely honest with yourself about whether you have what it takes to work with her. You cannot lie to a horse about your expertise. If you don't have the capability of handling this horse, she will absolutely know it, and you may be in danger.
FWIW, it sounds to me as if getting this mare would be a bad idea, because I have a hunch she's a money pit.
Also, a note about her current condition: if she's in poor condition, the way she acts now may not be a good indicator of how she will be once her health improves. Horses that are in poor condition are likely to behave more quietly than they will when they feel better. If you can only afford to do minimal vet care for this mare, then before you take her home have a vet take blood from her and get a complete blood panel run: red cell count, white cell count, liver and kidney function panels. That will tell you what kind of condition she's in.
well first off, what you're already doing sounds fantastic. you're off to a great start with him.
Although you're going to use him as a barrel horse, i'd take him on a trail ride or just randomly riding arround the arena on him. Not every time you ride him has to be a barrel racing work out. If you push it too hard, he'll resent it and wont be as willing to perform when the time comes.
As for getting im into the left lead, ride him arround the arena (either in figure eights or in circles, it's you're choice) and force him into it. do NOT let him refuse it. if he gets away with it once, he'll try it every time you ride and will only cause more problems.
Always remember: don't get frustrated with him easily, he's just begining. & HAVE FUN!!
–Good luck with you're new horse & barrel racing!
