Don’t you wish you could get inside tips about the horses that would allow you to know when one was ready to win, or perhaps, when the favorite was off his feed and not likely to win? They used to say the stable cat was the best handicapper because he lived with the horses. That was probably true, but I’ve never seen a feline in the betting lines. Inside information, however, can be dynamite, but you have to know how to get it and when to use it and when to pass it up.

There’s a lot of talk these days about making money betting on horses by using trainer moves. The suppliers of past performances often list them right along with a horses running lines, along with the actual ROI (return on investment) for the specific move. An example would be, down 2 classes +3.10, meaning that when that trainer drops a horse two levels in they win enough to make a tidy profit.

At Gulfstream Park there are six races for Florida-breds and at Santa Anita there are three races for California-bred or sired horses. The interesting aspect about the cards is that there is a pick-6 wager that links the last three races at Gulfstream Park and the three races at Santa Anita.

Handicapping horse races can be a very time consuming and frustrating experience. In plain English, picking winners is one of the hardest things some of us ever try and most people lose money at the horse races. While some of us enjoy trying to solve the puzzle of a horse race, at the end of the day, when we’ve spent so much time and energy, only to have lost money, there is “…no joy in Mudville,” as they say. That’s why some people give up and just use the odds on the tote board to try and pick winners. They figure, and rightly so, that the lower the odds on a horse the better its chances of winning.

Following a horse through its career is one way to cash winning tickets. Very few handicappers actually do this, but it is a solid way to make money betting on horses. Of course, you have to have some knowledge of training and horse racing to be successful. If you understand what a trainer is doing with a horse then you will understand that some races are for exercise and conditioning while other races are meant for a real serious effort to win.

The reason that horses can run so fast and so far is that they have an extraordinary cardio-vascular system. In short, they are designed for running and the intervention of human beings with selective breeding programs has only improved upon what was already a very successful design. The modern race horse can inhale large amounts of oxygen and with its over sized heart, it can distribute oxygen rich blood throughout its massive body.

There is no magic formula for picking winners, but there is a method of making a profit from horse racing bets. That may sound contradictory, but it’s not, because there is a difference between picking winning horses and picking good bets. The difference between a horse player who looks for winners and a horse player who looks for good bets is the difference between a successful gambler and a gambler. Regular gamblers take some comfort in being right and sometimes they even take comfort in commiserating with other losing gamblers.

Most people believe that the favorite wins a horse race about a third of the time. While many think that is common knowledge and use it to handicap horse races, it is such a broad statement that it often bears little truth. How can that be? You may ask. The truth is that there are many different kinds of horse races over different surfaces and at a wide range of distances.
