Horse Racing

By Trevor Stonham

There are certain things you need to know about horse racing basics. We’ll cover as many of them as possible here.

Flat or Jumps

In the UK, horse racing is either Flat or National Hunt. Flat races are ones where there are no jumps or hurdles for the horses to navigate, even though the race track itself may undulate. Additionally, flat races can be run on grass or on “all weather” surfaces. The latter are designed to allow racing to continue even if weather conditions would mean that a race on grass would not be safe.

National Hunt races are run from autumn to spring – the ground in the summer is usually too hard for horses to land safely. There are different types of fences and some of the jumps also involve water. These races are usually more of a test of stamina and are normally longer than flat races.

Handicap or not

Some races are described as handicaps. The idea is that each horse in the race is given an individual rating and carries a certain amount of extra weight in order to make each horse as close to equal as possible. If the handicapper has done their job perfectly then each horse should cross the finish line at exactly the same time – which is, of course, impossible. But it does mean that handicap horse races are often more “open” than non-handicap ones.

Distance

In the same way as human runners, horses prefer different distances. Some prefer short sprints whereas others prefer longer races. Short races are measured in furlongs and longer races in both miles and furlongs. There are 8 furlongs in a mile. If a horse has won a race of the same distance, it is (fairly obviously) called a distance winner and will be marked as such on the race card.

Every since the advent of the internet, the World Wide Web has opened up many opportunities for people who want to bet on the horses. You have the choice of using the human element in a horse racing tipster, or a horse racing software package, but how they compare?

The purpose of this article is to assess the differences and benefits of these two different means of obtaining horse racing tips. Certainly there are many options available online now and I do get asked regularly which system works the best, so I’ll run through this with you now.

No Such Thing As A Dead Cert

Of course, the first thing I must state is that there is no one method that can ever guarantee you selecting a winning horse. Certainly, there are ways to make a more informed choice of which horse to bet on, which means that you have a better chance of winning – the aim of every gambler at the end of the day.

However, with so many different ways to get advice about betting on horses, there are many people who are now confused as to what the difference is in terms of the benefits between a horse racing tipster service and other software horse racing systems.

Horse Racing Tipster vs Software

Well, simply put and to look at the fundamental aims of each, essentially a horse racing tipster service, horse racing software or any horse racing system all aim to achieve the same thing.

Achieving winners or at the very least eliminating horses that are not suitable to back is a process that takes into account many factors, and so the principal difference between the three aids is basically the way in which they help you formulate your selections.

Though horse racing is fundamentally about the horses, one cannot underestimate the role played by humans. After all, human money is involved and human effort is engaged in all phases of the sport of kings, but which nowadays is also the sport of professional and amateur gamblers.

Horse racing results are also dependent on the training skills of the trainers and the riding skills of the jockeys. Thus, when placing a bet on a horse consider the human factor.

What Does a Horse Trainer Do?

A horse trainer is the horse’s coach. As such, he has the responsibility of priming the horse for its races. Tasks usually include appropriate exercises, diet, grooming routine, and other physical and mental conditioning. He is also in charge of determining future races that the horse is to enter.

Unless you personally know the horse’s trainer, you cannot judge the trainer without looking at the horses he has trained. He is like a popular sports coach whom you only know because of his track record, which is usually the most reliable measure of his effectiveness.

Thus, if you desire horse racing results in your favor, then examine a trainer’s track record. Usually, top trainers have produced winners in almost all the top races in the United Kingdom. Look for them in your next bets; or find up-and-coming trainers.

Trainers also have vested interests in horse racing results. They can earn lucrative incomes from the percentages of winnings owners give them. Thus, if somebody you personally know and trust gives you a favorable tip about a certain trainer, then check him out. It will probably pay off in the future.

Horse training is important if you intend to trip regularly. That’s simply because you would like your horse to reply for your instructions. So your horse understands who is in cost.
After all, you don’t want a wild horse or a horse that does not react to you. The more you and your horse function with each other the more enjoyment you receive.

With training your horse you need to know your horse. By this I mean you have to comprehend your horse’s disposition. You need to know your horse’s type. And also you do this by learning your horse’s head. Sure, that is right, your horse’s head. Your horse’s head form reveals what kind of horse disposition you are coping with. And by disposition I mean the organic inclinations of your horse.

You see, some horses are wilful and stubborn. This kind of horse will resist you by lying down. And when maddened his senses turn out to be blunted. Some horses are nervous. A nervous horse acts via concern. And he is most likely to create the habit of shying and running absent. Some horses are placid and are simple to train.

Prior to trying to train any horse you need to study their head from both an aspect view and front see. By doing this you’ll know precisely how to go about coaching him.

However all horses can be subdued. Although some horse may be tougher than others owing to their disposition. But all horses have intelligence and that’s why you are able to train a horse.

But a horse can’t reason. And you are able to take advantage of a horse’s inability to cause to achieve something you want to. Therefore you should not punish your horse when the horse does not know why you are punishing him. As this does much more harm than good.
