The One Percent Horse Racing Handicapping System

Wed ,14/12/2011

Do you want to figure out a good horse racing handicapping system? Perhaps there are clues right under your nose or all around you. For instance, there’s a lot of interest in the divisions of society based on income and opportunity nowadays. The top one percent, who control most of the wealth in our society, are doing all right and they are on one side of the line while the other ninety nine percent are opposite them in that standoff. The income gulf continues to widen and tension continues to grow.

Winning Horse Racing Bets Factors

Wed ,14/12/2011

There are certain similarities that you’ll find that are shared by horses that win races. The reason that is important is because they tell you what a winner looks like. I know that may sound strange but think about it for a moment and you’ll see what I mean. A lot of people go to the horse races looking for winning horses and good bets, but ask them what a good bet looks like and they’ll usually admit they don’t know what a winner looks like.

Horse Racing Handicapping – Jockey Changes and Trainer Moves

Thu ,08/12/2011

When a rider is on a horse in its previous race and then gets off it to ride another, the first assumption most handicappers make is that he or she has chosen a better horse, or at least the horse that is better according to the rider or the jockey’s agent. That is a reasonable assumption and usually spot on. It doesn’t mean the chosen ride is a sure winner, but it does usually mean it can beat at least one other horse in the race.

Book Review: Peter Pan

Thu ,08/12/2011

The Forgotten Story of Phar Lap’s Successor by Jessica Owers. An entertaining and well researched biography of Peter Pan who won the Melbourne Cup twice and may have even been better than his more well know predecessor Phar Lap. Great for any fan of racing history.

Horse Racing Handicapping Horses Switching to Synthetic Tracks

Thu ,08/12/2011

The synthetic track is here to stay so knowing how to handle the situation when a horse goes from a dirt track to a man made surface is important. While the man made tracks are supposedly more cushioned and forgiving, it seems that a horse with an injury or slight lameness might benefit from the cushioned surface. The same is true of switching to turf, of course, but most handicappers rarely think in terms of a slightly lame horse winning a race, though it happens more than you might think. In claiming races and the cheaper races, horses often run with some physical ailment or complaint. They often run on “bute” so that they won’t feel the pain, but some still feel it. Naturally, a horse that is very sore won’t run very well, but then again, they are usually scratched by the track vet, if he or she is doing the job right.

Driver Changes Are a Key to Winners at the Harness Races

Wed ,07/12/2011

The driver plays a very important part in the success of a harness horse and there are big differences in the driving skills and success between different drivers. This isn’t exactly a secret among people who handicap harness races. But how much attention do you really pay to the driver and have you identified winning driver and trainer teams? Some race tracks now supply information on driver switches, as I call them. A typical announcement before a race would be something along the lines of, “Ron Pierce chooses the 6 over the 8.”
