If you are like a lot of people who handicap horse races and like to bet on horses, then you probably don’t want to spend your whole day reading the past performances just to find some good winners.  Many people just want an easy horse racing system, a simple system to pick winners.  If you can identify the most likely winner you can always put others with it to complete a trifecta or exacta or even a superfecta.

The problem, of course, is how do you know which horse will win?  Well the bad news is, you never know for sure.  Even if there are only two horses in the race, each one has a fifty-fifty chance of winning if they are evenly matched.  There are, however, ways to quickly determine which runner has the edge.  Just using a few simple factors can show which one has more ability.

That is assuming that there is a difference between them.  Sometimes, the runners really are evenly matched and then it is just a matter of betting the one with the best odds so you make the most money from your bets.  But even a slight difference means that one horse is superior to the other.

I don’t advocate betting on the horse with the most ability alone.  I also tech people to find what I call fair value odds.  But it all starts with the ability of the runners because how can you tell which one has the most ability without looking at a few simple factors and seeing a difference?

An example of a simple horse racing system that produces real winners is the test that we are conducting right now.  I offered people the opportunity to test a simple and easy horse racing system so they could see how it was done.  They paid a small fee to cover my costs of reporting the results of the test and helping to guide them along.

It is an opportunity to see how a real winning horse racing system is developed.  We focused on the speed figures of the runners in the last few days and using a few simple criteria to evaluate them have arrived at a lot of good winners.  Our next step is to look at the winners and to see if they have any other similarities in the other horse racing factors like class, pace, or connections.

We aren’t using a lot of factors, but it is amazing how few factors it really takes to find winners.  Horse racing systems don’t have to be complicated and you don’t have to spend hours poring over programs or software readouts to find real winners.
