Using Post Position Statistics and Speed Figures to Pick Horse …

March 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

All post positions are not equal when it comes to a horse’s chances of winning a race. If you check the post position statistics for any track that you are planning to bet on, you’ll find that some posts have an advantage over the others. So if a horse raced from a disadvantageous post in its last race and moves to a favorable one, how will it help?

If you are trying to pick horse racing winners there is a way to see if that change in post position will be enough to score a win. You’ll have to do some research and spend some time creating a list of horses, but it will be worthwhile if your goal is to make money betting on the horses.

Here is what you do, first of all, get the stats and see which post(s) are the worst and which are the best. If post position 1 has a win average of 12% and post position 7 has a win average of 6%, it appears that post 1 is twice as good as post 7. Now here is the disclaimer, there may be many factors why a horse won or loss from that post and it doesn’t mean that one post is twice as good as another. Another consideration is how many races are you using to arrive at those percentages? The more races the more reliable the study, right?

Well, maybe, it is more reliable and maybe not. While it is a good thing to have more races to be sure of accuracy and overcoming any anomalies, if the statistics include different seasons and periods of wet tracks and off tracks or sealed tracks, then it may not reflect the true condition of today’s track or the post position bias. Try to use races that were run in the same season and weather conditions as today’s race.

Do some research and find as many cases of horses who raced from the worst post and then moved to the better post and note the times of each race. You should see a pattern of improvement in the speed figures for each horse when it raced from the better post position. This is a very general study and doesn’t take into account all the other variables, but it may show some kind of pattern and give you an idea of how much that one factor will improve a horse’s performance.

Now, the next step is to find horses going from the good to the bad post or from the bad to the good post. Either situation will result in a change in final times and speed figures and you can factor that into your handicapping. So if you see a horse that can win at the level of today’s race with a speed of 88 (the par speed figure for that distance and class) and you think the difference in post will help it to achieve that speed rating, then you have a winner, maybe.

Just remember that there are many variables that can affect a horse’s performance and try to factor in as many as you can and finally, bet with your head and not over it. Enjoy your days at the races.

Horse Racing Systems – Let the Buyer Beware

March 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

The sales pages for horse racing systems can be most convincing. Mostly they offer an apparently effortless way of parting the bookmaker from his money. They promise almost unlimited wealth for little or no effort.

It is an old saying, “if it sounds too good to be true is probably is”, but it very much applies to the vast majority of horse racing systems. There are a few very good systems on the market. There are a few that will give you a fair return for your investment but there are many more that will fail to live up to their claims.

What exactly is a Horse Racing System?
Quite simply it is a set of rules and filters that you have to apply when selecting a horse to bet on. For instance a system might be to back any horse that won its last race when it is running over the same distance and ground conditions when it next runs. That would be a system, but how successful it would be I have no idea.

By the very nature of racing systems you have very little idea of what you are buying until you have made the purchase. Even then until you have tested it you cannot tell if it is any good.

If people do find a really good system they tend not to shout about it, but if they buy one and are not happy about it they want to tell all and sundry. This is where you can learn from other peoples experiences without parting with your money.

Fortunately thanks to the Internet you can find out what other people think of a racing system that you are thinking about buying. This can save you from making some expensive mistakes. Simply type the name of the system into your search engine and you are more than likely to find some reviews of the system.

There are several excellent web sites that test and review horse racing systems as they come on the market. You can also look for horse racing forums which often have threads relating to specific systems.

When reading a sales letter for any system treat everything you read with caution, especially the claims of past successful results and potential winnings. If you can find a successful system it will almost certainly not bring you overnight riches but it could provide you with a steady profit.

Azeri – Horse Racing – EzineMark

March 1, 2013 By Leave a Comment

A handful of horses saw their racing dreams coming to reality only after they had crossed their prime; an extremely famous and renowned racing horse that was known for his extraordinary growth from a regular racing horse to a champion only after his sophomore season was Seabiscuit. Azeri, foaled in 1998, graduated to a champion filly so beautifully that she was inducted into the Hall of Fame for her performances as an older filly.

Azeri was sired by Jade Hunter who was the offspring of the legendary sire and race horse Mr. Prospector. Even though broodmare Zodiac Miss didn’t boast of a very extraordinary foal, Azeri was the first and the only starter coming from her with the racing characteristics inherited from grandsire Silic who was a Breeder’s Cup Mile winner.

Azeri rode a 11 race winning streak under trainer Laura de Seroux. Her first win came from a six furlong race at the Santa Anita late in November, 2001, almost towards the end of her three year old season. In her fourth year of racing, Azeri won several graded stakes including Grade 1 Breeder’s Cup Distaff, Apple Blossom Handicap and Clement L. Hirsch Handicap. Azeri entered her fifth year season with fierce opening winning Apple Blossom and the Clement L. Hirsch handicaps second time in a row. However it was during her 12th race into the Lady’s Secret Breeder’s Cup Handicap when she finished second following an injury to her tendon. Turned over to trainer Wayne D. Lukas, a hall of Famer, Azeri made a quick recovery and made a comeback with yet another win in the Apple Blossom.

Azeri most impressive win was from the Go For Wand Handicap after a thrilling competition against multiple Graded stakes winner Sightseek. It was only towards the end of her sixth year that Azeri was retired after a 17 wins out of 24 starts status. Azeri was awarded the American Horse of the year title in 2002 followed by three consecutive years of American Champion Older Female Horse from 2002 to 2004. Six year later, Azeri got inducted into the Hall of Fame and National Museum of Racing. She also closed her racing career as the second highest money earning filly with approximately $4 million second only to Zenyatta at $6million plus.

The Most Important Factor in Horse Racing Handicapping

February 28, 2013 By Leave a Comment

The major factors when handicapping a horse race are speed, class, form.  Which of the three do you think is the most important?  While you may argue that the fastest horse usually wins the race, is the fastest horse the one with the highest speed rating in its past performances?

You may see that one runner scored the highest speed figure by 5 points, but that was a year ago.  So then you may have to set a few rules for determining the fastest or speediest horse.  Naturally, as in the case I just mentioned, time is the most important factor in determining which horse is the fastest one now.

So we can say that the horse with the highest speed rating in the last 60 days is the fastest and therefore gets the vote on speed.  But what if that speed rating was at a much lower class than today’s race and the field the horse is facing today.  For instance, if a horse earns a 100 speed figure against $10,000 claimers but is facing $50,000 claimers today, will it earn a 100 rating?  Probably not, so we’ll have to also add the class factor.

We can say that the horse who has the highest speed rating in the last 60 days against horses at this level or higher class is the horse.  But if we do that, we’re using all three factors and can’t separate which one gets the nod.

In my opinion, form is the most important factor because it is a measure of speed, class, and recency.  It is a snapshot of the horse at a particular time and place, namely, here and now, or at least its most recent race in the recent past.  Form is the answer to that age old question, “What have you done for me lately?”

Lately is the key, but so is “what.”  That is the question that form answers.  In your handicapping always ask that question and if possible you might want to consider giving an ability number to a horse based on that very question and the form factor.  The way to arrive at the ability number is to determine a specific time limit of how far you will go back in a horse’s races to find the key race.

The key race is the one that answers that question.  It must have been within a certain number of days.  In other words, how long does a horse hold its current form?  Then you must look at class.  If you say the horse had to have run at a certain level, that helps, too.  Finally, the speed rating that the horse earned under those conditions would be the actual ability number.

Horse Racing Gallops To Maintain Its Popularity – Grand National …

February 27, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Each year, the country stops and witnesses 40 horses line-up and tackle the unforgiving Aintree course. Four & half miles, with 30 fence jumps, the Grand National Festival is without doubt the toughest test of horse and jockey in the world.

The race is now less than three weeks away and Saturday 10th April 2010 will see Aintree racecourse packed out for the latest renewal of the John Smith’s Grand National, England’s most famous and prestigious horse race.

The race’s history is responsible for some of the true horse racing greats and everybody has a story and memory of their first Grand National Festival.

Red Rum, Bindaree, Hedgehunter, Miinnehoma, Party Politics, the list of famous winners goes on and on.

When 100/1 shot Mon Mome landed last year’s renewal, punters were given a sharp reminder that anything can happen in the Grand National and ever since it’s first running in 1839 the race has provided drama after drama.

The biggest social event on the calendar, this year’s John Smith’s Grand National meeting will run from Thursday 8th to Saturday 10th April.

As the 20 racehorses thunder away from the start line, the crowd of 50,000 roars its enthusiasm.

Then, as the rainbow blur of satin-shirted riders start to jockey for early positions in the stampede, the spectators are quickly quiet again.

Some are fidgeting with their betting slips, while others take a fortifying gulp of stout, or draw on their cigarettes.

It’s a sea of tweed, flat-caps and Barbour, with the odd posh frock, and more than a few over-sized green hats as the large Irish contingent celebrates St Patrick’s Day.

The pinnacle of the UK jump racing season, the festival is big business.

Attracting the very best horses, more than 200,000 people will attend this year’s festival in total, with millions more watching on television.

And this means good news for the bookmakers.

“It’s a proper bonanza for us,” says Paddy Power, head of communications for the Irish bookmaker that bares his name.

“During Cheltenham we see more business in the four days than we normally get in three weeks. There is nothing else like it.”

Horseracing Handicapping Longshots Using Trainer Moves

February 23, 2013 By Leave a Comment

On February 9th in the second race at Tampa Bay Downs, a horse named “Apple Talk,” won and paid $87 for every $2 bet to win on this lightly raced four year old.  Horseracing handicapping looking for longshots is tough and Apple Talk wasn’t giving away any secrets unless you were familiar with the trainer and his moves. Apple Talk was dropping from the Maiden Special Weight ranks to Maiden Claiming.  That is supposed to be the biggest class drop in history.  But several other horses in the race were also making the same drop and had fared much better in their last race, a race that Apple Talk lost by over 23 lengths.

Looking at Apple Talk’s only two prior starts and how he had done so poorly explains why he went off at such long odds.  How he managed to stage the upset is not so clear. According to the official track program there were no equipment changes since his last dismal performance.  There was a jockey change to an apprentice and subsequently a ten pound weight allowance that certainly didn’t hurt.  But to make such a big move as Apple Talk did and to win so convincingly at such long odds, one would think something pretty significant had to happen.

He is listed in the program as a gelding.  It wasn’t announced that he had been gelded since his last race.  Gelding a horse can make a big difference and I call it the most significant equipment change in racing.  I am sure other males would agree with me.  However, we have no indication that Apple Talk was recently gelded.

Obviously some people bet on Apple Talk.  A look at the pools did indicate some inside money (see True Handicapping for a method to check the pools for inside money), but not a lot as is evidenced by the huge mutuel.  Apple Talk appeared to be a sleeper.

So how could you tell that this horse was going to win?  Unless you were psychic, you had to know something about the horse and trainer.  Did this trainer ever pull this move before?  Entering a horse in a long turf race (Apple Talk’s first effort was a mile on the turf in MSW ranks) and then in a long race on the dirt (a mile and forty yards in MSW company) is a good way to condition a horse.  It doesn’t look like he was pushed in either race.  

A trainer might see his or her horse just isn’t good enough to compete with the MSW horses but put him in for a few conditioning races then drop to a soft spot in the maiden claiming ranks.  The only way to know for sure is to know the trainer’s habits.  The only way to know a trainer’s habits is to pay attention and keep notes.  Specializing in one or two circuits and keeping good notes can payoff in huge figures.  I have to confess, before this race, I didn’t know that was one of this trainer’s moves, but you can be certain that I know now.  Ask yourself this, how many people who saw that race can now tell you who the trainer was and what the move was?

If you are one of the few who remembers or was paying attention, you may be one of the few who cashes a big win ticket on the next maiden he brings along this way.  And that is how you handicap longshots in horse racing.

Horse Racing Tips

February 9, 2013 By Leave a Comment
There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to betting on the horses. Some people believe that it’s impossible to profit in horse racing. Some believe that all you need to do is bet the favorites. Still, others believe that the only way to make money is to bet the huge long shots and pray for a miracle. All of these thoughts are false. You can make money betting on horses, and you don’t need to pick favorites all the time or bet on miracle finishes often.

Here is a juicy piece of information for you. The favorite wins the race (thoroughbred racing) about 33% of the time. Therefore, if you simply bet the favorite, you will be losing 67% of the time. Since favorites don’t always pay too well, you would end up losing over the long run. Still, money can be made betting on favorites. Each race is different. In some races, the favorite might be an even money favorite. In others, the favorite might be a 3-1 favorite.

How you bet is just as important as how much you bet. A common bet is called across the board. When you make this wager, you are betting on the horse to win, place and show. If the horse comes in first, you win all three bets. The show bet is the most conservative wager in horse racing, and it pays like it. It’s common to be paid only 20 cents on the dollar for a show bet. Many inexperience bettors place a show bet “to be safe,” but it’s a money sink.

Unless the horse is going off at a good price (odds), making a show bet is a losing proposition. The best way to wager on a good horse is win and possibly place—never show. Think about it this way, if I told you I had a proposition that you might win 33% of the time, and it will pay 1-5, which means you bet $5 and win $1, would you jump on it? Of course you wouldn’t. This is kind of what it’s like to make a show bet on a good horse.

At the end of the day, how you wager can up accounting for half or more of your success potential. Bettors that don’t figure this out wonder why their bankroll is not larger after their “winning” day. Place your bets properly and you will be halfway home to being a successful horse racing bettor. Money can be and is, made in horse racing every single day. On busy days, there are more than one hundred betting opportunities to take advantage of. One last piece of advice. If a race is not favorable to you—odds wise—move along. There will be plenty more races to bet on.

Being In Perfect Coordination With Your Horses

January 14, 2013 By Leave a Comment

One of the loveliest sights in the equine world is a rider and horse team in perfect coordination. The rider has the lightest of touches, invisible and unfelt except by the horse. The pony basically appears to be directly linked to the rider’s brain, so that thoughts are communicated and acted upon in mere nanoseconds. As a rider, you need to appreciate the pony has the inborn abilities that may blossom with a little bit of schooling; it is you, the rider, who has to learn the hard way. The most important lesson you can learn vis achieving a light touch is to cease being firm.

You start humble, at the most elementary of levels, and you progress right. You don’t make the cardinal mistake most new pony riders do of presuming that a horse can be ridden by exercise of thought control. I repeat, you’ve got to learn more than the pony.

I believe the presence of a professional coach is mandatory. You can’t do everything yourself: there are as much chances of screwing up as there are of succeeding.

Get one thing straight: horses are intuitive. They read you even before you have laid a hand or a bit or a saddle on them. They are attuned to what your body is saying and what your mind may not be saying. You work best with them when you’re utterly relaxed. Let them start to know you at their pace.

Like most animals, horses respond well to praise and poorly to criticism. You’ve got to find the best compromise between excessive gentleness and excessive harshness. You must impress on the horse in no uncertain terms that you are the boss, but you don’t do it with a punishing approach.

You adopt an approach that is like an iron fist in a multi layered velvet glove. There are numerous methods of achieving perfect coordination and understanding with your horse, but a debate of these methods is outside the boundaries of this document.

Suffice it to say that you punish your pony if he errs, never corporally. The very easy act of making him do something repeatedly until he gets it right is punishment.

Naturally, you need a way of informing him when he gets it right. You give him a small reward, a treat, even a break. Let him go off and roll while you gather your wits about you in anticipation of the next session. Most horses are bright enough to work out where they are going wrong and where they are going right if they are handled with the reward/punish approach.

You do need to be very careful to approach things in a very logical step-by-step fashion. When building rapport with your horse and coaching him to get finetuned to you, patience is vital. You’ll find as your horse advances that you have progressed yourself. You have taught him, but he has taught you too. He is just half of an ideal team; you’re the other half.
