Best Horse Racing Angles for Making Money Betting On Horses

September 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment

A horse racing angle is a way to find a good bet.  As the name implies, it is a way of looking at a betting situation as well as an approach.  By approach I mean how you actually structure the wager and which handicapping factors it is based on.

For instance, one angle that has been around for a long time is the lone early speed in a race angle.  The obvious advantage the horse has is that it sets its own pace and isn’t rushed or hurried by the other runners.  Since an easy pace without any pressure suits any runner, then that one should have the best chance of winning providing it is fit.

Other angles are based on the same criteria.  Something the horse has that the others don’t have and the ability to exploit it.  Another angle is the big class drop.  Finding a runner who hasn’t raced at such a low level before can be a good spot play, providing that certain other criteria are met.

The big class drop should have raced within thirty days and have shown some life in a race within thirty days.  One of my favorite angles is a horse who raced within two lengths of the leader at one of the calls and then trailed off.  When that horse drops and meets less competition in the early stages of the race, it will often finish well.

The class drop angle works really well when a horse is going from the conditioned allowance ranks to claimers for the first time.  If you know your trainer angles you know that some trainers will place the horse in a race and at a level where it will be competitive.  Other trainers have a tendency to start out to high and slowly descend the claiming ladder looking for a spot for the horse to finally win.

That can backfire, however, and the horse can get injured or go lame before they find that golden spot.  Therefore, I suggest you stick with trainers who are realistic and put hem where they can win when moving from allowance races to claimers.  That is a great angle when it is a trainer that is competent.

Probably the best angle of all is the drop from maiden special weight races to maiden claiming.  Some trainers will race a horse in MSW races and tell the jockey not to push the horse.  It looks terrible because it failed to menace in the MSW ranks.  Then it is dropped into the claiming ranks and the jockey is given the green light.

This accomplishes two things, first of all, no one claims the horse because they figure it is a dud.  Secondly, it gets the odds up there where the trainer and owner can cash a nice ticket on their runner.  Some trainers are masters at this move and it pays to keep a list of them.

Horse Racing Angles, Systems, Tips for Winning at the Track

September 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment

How do you prepare yourself to go to the race track?  You probably put on a clean shirt, brush your teeth, comb your hair, and head for the races.  While you might look presentable and they won’t stop you from entering the premises on grounds of poor hygiene, are you really prepared?  I mean prepared to bet real money on the races and to win with your bets.

People who win money betting on horses know how to handicap the horse races.  Many of them have a system they’ve used for years, though they may have tweaked it a little here and there because things do change.  Other people use an angle.

A good horse racing angle is something that comes along that a wise bettor can take advantage of.  It may be something to do with the odds, weights, jockeys, etc.  It is often a combination of circumstances that the average horse player doesn’t see or understand but stands out like a flashing light to the wise player.

Then there are the people who get horse racing tips, sometimes free tips, that they use to make money.  As we all know, when it comes to information, there is good information and bad information.  When I used to own race horses, I heard plenty of both.  I got so I could tell which bits of info were good and which ones were stinkers, usually just by knowing the source.  Some people gave good tips and others stunk.

Going to the race track all the time and working at it like a full time job isn’t easy.  You have to make connections, learn a good system, and then keep your ears and eyes open.  Over the years I learned a lot of ways to lose at the races and a few good ways to win.  But even when I was winning, it wasn’t easy.  I had to work very hard.

The best way to make money betting on horse races is to try to develop into a complete horse player.  Learn some good angles, and systems, but also have people you can rely on for a tip or two now and then.  Read everything you can get your hands on relating to the races and keep an open mind.  Developing your mind is the number one way to beat the other people who go to the races and try to get lucky.

While luck does play a small part in winning when you’re gambling, the pros who make a living at it win by being better prepared than the average player.

Horse Racing Handicapping Hidden Moves Angles That Result in Big

September 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Picking horse racing winners by spotting big speed figures is not hard to do, but unfortunately, it doesn’t pay well enough to make your bets profitable.  Just sticking with the horse with the highest last speed fig or average will only result in low priced winners and your losses will outweigh your winnings.  You need to dig deeper to make money betting on horses.  One angle that works well is to identify a middle move that shows real ability.

By identifying a move during a race that doesn’t stand out to the crowd, but shows a horse is ready to win at the right level, you can cash a winning ticket at a good price if the horse is dropped in class.  But how do you know when a horse is ready to win?  Pace figures can help you to see secret moves that others miss.  For instance, it isn’t just how high a runner’s pace figures are that matters.  It is also how they change throughout the contest.

Let’s say a horse starts in a $10,000 claiming race and shows a 60 pace figure for the first quarter.  In the next quarter it registers an 85.  It finishes the race with a 65 and a final speed figure of 65.  The eventual winner of the race finished with an 80 and posted an early pace figure of 70, and second quarter of 72 with a final speed figure of 74.  It appears that the first horse was severely over matched.

But look closer at those pace and speed figures and look at the tremendous move our loser made between the first and second quarter calls.  It accelerated from a 60 pace figure to an 85!  In other words, the jockey sprinted the horse all out in the early stages of the race and challenged the leader only to drop back.  He used his horse up at the wrong point.

The winner sprinted out of the gate and posted an 80 leaving the loser behind, but the second quarter found the loser racing up to contend with the front runner only to fade.  The jockey made up too much ground and lost all chance of winning due to haste.

Now was that intentional?  Did the trainer want to know if the horse was fit and ready and had a chance to win at a slightly lower level?  The answer may well be, yes.  That was a  very athletic move and cost the runner any chance at winning.  Now if it is dropped to a lower level, it may maintain a more rational pace and easily compete throughout all stages of the event.

What makes this a great betting angle?  The crowd will look at the final speed figure and see a 65, 9 points lower than the eventual winner.  If that is also lower than the par for the race it is in today at a lower class, they may dismiss the horse and figure it is still over matched, while nothing could be further from the truth.  

Look closely at each pace figure for a horse and learn to spot big differences that mean there was a middle move in a race that sapped the horse’s reserves and set it up for failure.  It may well get a better and smoother trip next time out and win easily.

A Few Horse Safety Tips

September 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment

If you’re sure each equestrian accident occurs when horses are being ridden, you need to do some research before you learn the hard way. Horses and their riders are equally subject to the whims of fate. Both of them can get hurt even while they are engaged in humdrum chores: grooming, feeding and watering and such like. As a horse owner, it is your responsibility to wish for the best but get ready for the worst! Here are some hints.

1. Lead rope precaution: Never make the mistake of wrapping lead lines around your wrist or any other part of your body. If anything happens to make your horse spook, you can land up with burns, sprains or perhaps broken bones.

2. Tack sense: Be alert when getting tack onto a pony, particularly a strange one. Some horses snap at anything in reach when they are being girthed. If you are working on a horse in cross ties, ensure there isn’t any one inside biting distance. Improve on that if the pony is not in cross ties: ensure there is no one within spitting distance.

3. Bridle uppercut: Watch out when you are putting the bridles on a horse. A large amount of horses toss their heads hard just before they accept the bridle. If you’re daydreaming, you get it on the chin.

4. Sedate shenanigans: Horses have been seen to become suddenly aggressive after they’ve been drugged. It would be a mistake to presume a drugged horse is like putty in the hands. Unless in a downright emergency, never use prescription drugs without clear directions from your veterinarian.

5. Fly-fed flights: Beware the environment you are leading your horse into, whether for work or play. If flies abound and are in the biting mood, the likelihood of your pony bolting is high. If you use fly sprays, remember that the sprays work only for a while. You need to reapply them every so often.

6. Care while caring: Before grooming, check to see if your horse is carrying any injuries or sores. Even an inadvertent brush of a comb over a sore spot can result in a bite or a kick.

7. Treat with care: Horses are nuts for treats. In their rush to get more, they may shove and kick their pals. Horses are extremely acutely aware of their own places in the herd pecking order, and they are serious about maintaining it. The problem is, they may accidentally inflict some unintended damage on the treat distributor, you. Commonsense claims that you stick to safety first principles by treating horses from the other side of an obstacle like a fence. Do not forget to especially feed treats to the poor horses on the lower hierarchy rungs, or they won’t be getting any. Your best bet basically is to feed treats to horses by putting the treats in individual feed buckets. The horses in the upper echelons may not approve, but you will stay whole and you’ll guarantee equitable non-discriminatory treatment.

8. Tackle tack properly: Your horse can suffer great discomfort due to ill-fitting tack. He may attempt to take it out on you by bucking you into orbit. You want to be exceedingly sure all tack fits well and painlessly on your horse.

9. Don’t let him get the boot: Be precise in your selection of shoes. The combination of your boots and the stirrups should be perfectly complementary. Some saddles come with release devices that stop your getting dragged if your foot gets caught in its stirrup.

10. Eviction notice: Never get into a horse’s stall without an escape plan. You are comparatively fine if the stall has side bars you can duck under to get out. If it doesn’t and you’ve got to shut the door, have a kind samaritan on the other side of the door prepared to open it instantly at your call. You may not be able to reach the latch if an unexpected emergency should pop up.

Desert Orchid's Horse Racing Triumphs

September 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Desert Orchid was an outstanding thoroughbred gelding with a characteristic grey coat and was one of the most famous English racehorses of the modern generation, who had speed, excellent jumping ability, very agile, high stamina and courageous (and affectionately known as Dessie).

Desert Orchid lived between 1979 and 2006 gaining national fame through his horse racing exploits in National Hunt racing (and is considered the fifth best National hunt horse) which included winning the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park four times in 1986, 1988, 1989 and 1990 whilst winning four steeplechases in a row at Sandown and Ascot.

In 1986 Desert Orchid won the King George VI Chase by 15 lengths over Door Latch described as one of the most exciting steeplechases ever seen. Another of his finest victories came in the 1987 Cheltenham Gold Cup, the three mile course had been made heavy by rain and snow and it is a left handed track, the race has been voted as one of the best horserace by readers of the Racing Post. It is said that Desert Orchid was one of the best race horses that could carry a large amount of weight.

Although one of his finest victories was at Cheltenham a left handed track, Desert Orchid preforms better on right handed tracks (because he used to jump to his right especially when tired) such as Kempton Park, Sandown and Ascot. Of his 70 competitative starts he won 34 of these which includes 17 major wins (Martell Cup, Whitebred Gold Cup, Victor Chandler Chase, Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Irish Grand National). After retiring in 1991 he returned to Kempton Park every year to lead out the parade of runners for the King George VI Chase as well as helping to raise substantial sums for charity as many fans wanted to catch a glimpse of such a loveable character. His ashes were buried in a private ceremony at Kempton Park Racecourse near his statue and there is a headstone and videos of his best races on the track.

Meticulously handpicked from the old 19th century and the current 20th century thoroughbreds, the games will offer you more than 5000 thoroughbred options to choose and race.

Where on one hand we witness the comparatively shorter racing tenure for the new generation thoroughbreds, the horses from the centuries prior to this were more durable, sturdy and tolerant. But the horse racing games makes them immortal. No horses are lost, injured or retired. That is the beauty of it; all the incredible racehorses from times old and new can now stay on forever. The players can race them on variety of race tracks without the worry of injuring them; a fall or two, and they jump up right back ready to resume racing with the same enthusiasm and determination.

However, the games have been designed so precisely that every horse follows his racing pattern and style. That is accompanied with their acceleration capability, need to find enough ground or display incredible speed topping the Beyer Speed Figures; all this is characteristic of every racehorse carefully captured in these games that may limit your manoeuvring them into a different racing style.

But again, the players have an amazing feature that catapults them out of these limitations; breed your own foal with the attributes you want them to inherit from their sires and dams. The accuracy in the inbuilt horses created from real references is to provide the players maximum realistic experience, including the limitations of each racehorse. These online racing games do not intend to provide racing experience that merely exhibits superhuman speeds or exaggerated features; the games are for the closest possible experience of the sport considering every aspect associated with it.

The game provides a window to the real equestrian world that comprises of diverse activities ranging from acquiring a race horse, analysing their strengths and weaknesses, training them for different distances and then participating in online tournaments that allow the players to win real prizes. Oh yes, the prizes are real, won depending upon the players’ performances on the racing tracks and track histories.

To top it all, the races are paired up with online messaging service. It is their common platform for members of the game to interact; use it to share race feedbacks, discuss strategies and also learn from various experts, trainers and jockeys who also participate in the games to gauge their stand in future competitions in reality.

It’s a class apart how a racing game available for free, online, in downloadable version as well, provide you such a detailed sneak-peak into the world of one of the highest money laundering games that sometimes is unreachable to many due to its extravagance.

Pessoa Legacy Event Saddle – Push Yourself To The Limit

September 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The Pessoa Legacy Event Saddle is an amazing work of art as well as fully functional. This line of Pessoa saddle features a new AMS Synthetic Wool flocked System, which makes the saddle more comfortable than other saddles. Like the rest of the Pessoa saddle line, this saddle will last a very long time.

Because this saddle contains a carbon fiber spring tree that can endure almost anything, it has a lifetime guarantee. If you’re a horseback rider that loves to push yourself and your horse to the max, the Pessoa Legacy Event saddle is for you. An intense rider has high demands – and this saddle is only 1 of a few that can keep up with those demands.

Features and Benefits

The AMS Synthetic Wool Flocked System eliminates the wadding up of the wool by using a neoprene panel to disperse the pressure. Saddles that don’t have this sort of anti-clumping technology often end up with saddles that start to have lumps, which causes pain in the rider’s joints and pain for the horse.

The AMS system on the Pessoa Legacy Event Saddle is a guarantee that, no matter how hard you ride, your saddle will maintain the highest level of comfort.

When a horse is improperly saddled with a saddle that does not contain AMS technology, that horse will tend to lock in heat, which raises their core temperature and makes them exhausted and underperform. However, Pessoa has tackled this problem and made the lining breathable which means that you can say goodbye to hotspots.  

The saddle includes a flexible carbon spring tree that creates more suspension for the rider, allowing for greater movement and the achievement of a near perfect galloping rhythm. Many lessor saddles include stiff trees that often break – this saddle’s tree is so good, it’s guaranteed for the lifetime of the saddle.

The rider feels a greater sense of balance due to the more forward flap and open seat with the Pessoa Legacy Event Saddle. This also allows for a greater range of movement and a more natural control over the horse.

Drawbacks

It might be trite to say that there are none, but this saddle certainly has few flaws, if any. Some remark that the saddle strides a little to far from the Pessoa’s dedication to traditional saddle manufacturing. Most, however, maintain that the saddle is a perfect mix of tradition and new technologies. I agree. Master craftsmen are always improving their work, and this saddle is evidence of that.

Summary and Recommendation

If riding is your one true love, or if you simply do it a lot, then you deserve the Pessoa Event Saddle. It is perfect for shows that put riders and horses to the test as well as everyday work. You can rest assured that this saddle is not going to give up on you.

As many riders will tell you, you simply can’t go wrong buying a saddle from the Pessoa line and this is one of the best in that line. If you and your horse work hard together, than you both deserve the comfort that this saddle has to offer. You’ll be amazed by what you can achieve with an amazing saddle like this.

4 Secrets Tips For Expert Horse Racing Betting

September 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Betting at the bookmakers or at the race course requires some knowledge of a system of horse racing betting. If you are going to the race course simply to bet for fun, chances are that you are going to end up losing money.

Horse racing betting takes more than just a little luck; it takes skill and having a system down. You can do this by learning about it, how to place a bet, what types of bets make you the most money and how to read the odds on horses.

Here are some tips that you can use when you are betting:

Take a look at the course

Is the course muddy or is it dry? How does your horse run in the mud versus the dry course? You should have this information in your horse racing program or even in the newspaper. If you are going to bet, you should be able to bet odds on which horse runs the best given the conditions of the racecourse.

How did the horse run in its last race?

Is the horse improving with time or is he or she getting worse with time? Although horse racing is not an exact science, you should take a look at how well your horse performed in the last race that they ran and the type of course on which they ran. This is how the odds are figured by the book makers when it comes to favorites in a horse race. Since no one can accurately predict the future, they have only to rely on the past. Take a look at the past performance of your horse.

Take a look at the competition

Is the competition fierce for your horse or is it soft? How many other winners is the horse racing against and how have they been performing? You cannot accurately hope to achieve good results with betting unless you take a look at the competition and see how these horses are running.

Take a look at statistics

On the horse racing forms, the statistics of the horse and how it ran during the last few races as well as the general condition of the horse, the jockey of the horse and the amount of wins that it has had as well as the course conditions that it runs best on are all on the racing form as statistics. Take a look at the statistics before you start betting so that you can make a sensible bet.

Training Your Pony In The Round Pen

September 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I strongly advise all beginner horse folk to get some groundwork coaching laid in well before they even think about putting on the saddle. Smooth groundwork is the precursor for smooth riding, and if I had my way, I’d make it compulsory for newcomers to coach their horses in the round pen.

The secret to success in pony training is repetition. Regardless of how much it strains your schedules, you should stick to your groundwork training until it is completed satisfactorily. Whatever form the training is taking: sensitizing a horse to the subtleties of pressure by repeatedly getting it to obey or desensitizing it to ropes by repeatedly exposing it to the rope, the only way to get the task well done is to repeat and repeat again.

If the pony is at present new to a saddle on its back, it may be a good idea to do the groundwork training with a saddle on your pony? Without sitting on that saddle. Get the pony used to the saddle, its weight and its handling. This will be of significant help to you when it’s time to get into the saddle, because you’ll have already achieved one desensitization process.

Try to keep the saddle tight enough to avoid slipping, but loose enough to let the pony feel relaxed. As long as you aren’t actually going to be riding the horse, you don’t need to cinch up tightly. One way to check if the saddle is just right is to work out if there’s a tight fit of your hand between the horse’s girth and the strap. If there is , you have done it right.

After you have gone thru all of the initial preparations, your first exercise in groundwork is to hook on with the horse.

Hooking on

By getting your horse to hook on, you are solidifying your accord with the horse, while at the same time gaining more respect from it. While steering your horse round the pen, keep to the outside. When you would like your horse to come to a stop, step out in front of him and indicate that he should stop. If things have worked out the way they should, your pony should follow you when you turn and walk off. This is what is referred to by ‘hooking on’. If the pony didn’t stop when you stepped in front him and commanded him to, it indicates that you have not been forceful enough when facing the horse.

You will have to keep repeating the exercise until your horse responds with perfection.

Body language

Almost exclusively, you use body cues when handling your horse. Since this sort of communication calls for great consistency to avoid confusion, you should have mastered physical communication skills, and you also should be adept at reading your horse’s body language.

As a amateur, you should not try to command your pony with any cue apart from physical. Whether it is a matter of getting your pony to switch direction or execute inside turns, you need to communicate using special body language techniques.

The horse’s power generating plant is in its hind quarters, so keep that under consideration. Move toward him, clicking as you do to get him moving forward. Pay constant attention to the horse’s physical centres of power when radiating body signals. When you and your horse have become adept, you’ll manage amazing mutual coordination.
