#8 - Avoid Distractions During Race Preparation

As you scan the Daily Racing Form for your selections, it is best to do it without distractions.

To be successful in the thoroughbred horse racing handicapping business will require you to remain focused at all time.

Even though horse racing is just a game, you need to eliminated the distractions while you analyze/handicap that next race. Try to pick a spot either at home or at the race track that is away from the hustle and bustle.

After you place your wager/wagers, there will be plenty of time to be immersed in all of the distractions and discussions.

Horse race handicappers line up every day for competition.

To be a long term successful horse race handicapper, you have to remain focused at all times, especially in race preparation. Horse racing is serious business.

Professional horse race handicappers line up every day to line their pockets with money they take from the track. Some of which, I am sure flows indirectly from horse players who are not focused and fall victim to distractions.

Professional horse race handicappers are focused and determined to take your money.

Horse racing- it's just a game...it is not YOU against the track, it is YOU against all horse players that are wagering.

Always wager with money that you can afford to lose and do not be greedy, there will always be another horse race to wager on.

Fact: Only 2% of all horse race handicappers actually make money wagering.

Horse racing is "BIG BUSINESS". Treat it like a business and you will be rewarded.
