Crucial Factors To Deciding Upon A Horse To Gamble On

By Corrine Hall


In every horse race there are certainly many factors that will decide the result of the race. This is a lowdown of varied elements you'll want to consider when making a wager.

The Unknown Variables

So they are the things which we merely are not able to take into consideration on race day. We do not know what the health of the horse is going to be like on race day as health can differ on a regular basis the same as a athlete will surely have a bad day, so will a horse. Someone can not take into account bad luck on race day either, for example disturbance and restricting, or falling at the jump or hurdle etc.

The Known Components

The Ground

The state of the terrain plays an important part of how a horse will work, as some get the job done far better on soft ground (after rain), dry (good) or very dry (firm). We are able to take this into account when looking at our picks so must keep in mind the weather forecast for the day as that could affect the ground conditions and as such influence just how our horse runs.

Distance

Needless to say some horses train for shorter distances and some for ranges just like we have short distance and long distance runners in sporting events. The various family genes of a horse will decide if it will perform most optimally over five or six furlongs or longer 1 mile 4 furlong plus contests.

Tracks

All horse racing courses have different qualities, some run right-handed and some run with left handed turns, while many are uphill and some are downhill. Some tracks are grass while others are covered with an all-weather surface while some horses choose one track surface over the other.

Stall Number

This can play an important part of the end result for a horse starting in an outside stall may need to run using an outside track position and as a consequence races an extended distance compared to a horse running around the rails on the inside location, such as at Chester the race course is extremely tight and consistently turning so almost any horse on the bend startinglow is in a huge advantage, and disadvantage is certainly factored in the betting prices because gain is very clear to see. If you possibly could then identify a less noticeable advantage you can use this to make money from. As an example at Folkestone the high numbers experienced a significant bonus because the turf ended up compressed out by the horse ambulance.

Class

There are several classes of horses running according to the quality, with class 1 being the best and class 7 the worst. Quite a few low class races are claiming races when the winner can be auctioned following the race. Handicap events are banded between 0 / 70 and fluctuate massively in class and value as many trainers try and manipulate the handicaps by operating the horse over race distances that are not appropriate in their beginning days - you have got to look for this.

Weight

In handicap horse races the weight of the horse is decided by the official handicapper whom allots him a "mark" which is a number considered to complement its recent ability. The excess weight can go up and down with each event and a increase of for example seven lbs would be common for the winning horse, where as when a horse doesn't do well he'll see the "mark" tumble and then he can be allowed to compete in lower handicaps for that reason.

Trainers

Needless to say the caliber of the trainer will have a significant impact on the way the horse performs and then there are some combinations of jockey & trainer that prosper and enjoy very good winning percentages. Its also wise to watch out for big money jockeys racing out of smallish stables as this is often an sign that they want to get the best from their horse on the selected run.
