Thoroughbred Horse Racing - The First TurnThe most common thing successful horse race handicappers look for in this stage of the race is a horse's position on both turns and whether or not he went wide, which will in most cases diminish odds of winning.
This is even more critical in races on the turf where most of the races are contested around two turns, which are typically sharper turns. Horses will generally lose their momentum if they run wide on any sharp turn. And losing ground on either turn can be very costly in that the ground lost is usually too much to recover.
The successful horse race handicapper, will note the horses who make those wide turns and factor that information into their future race handicapping.
Horse racing handicapping and wagering, although a legal form of gambling, does not guarantee that the risk of losing your money has been eliminated; even in a Stakes Race.
Always wager with money that you can afford to lose, do not violate your money management rules, 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.
