Thoroughbred Horse Racing - and Down the Stretch They ComeThis is when the horse race really gets interesting.
It is at this stage of the race that most horse players are focused on the leaders, especially if your horse is there.
The Professional horse race handicapper; however, is viewing the race from a different perspective. They are watching the horses in the middle of the field and those that are bringing up the rear.
While there may not be a lot to be learned by watching which horse won, which horse placed, and which horse showed, keeping an eye on the also-rans may provide the horse handicapper with valuable clues for future wagers.
How the trip horse race handicapper interprets this information compiled in their notes, is a key to picking winners in future races that players are considering, i.e. the 'long-shot'
For the most part, legitimate excuses for a poor performance would suggest that a horse will improve, provided, of course that his form has remained constant.
On the other hand, a trouble-free trip might explain the unexpectedly easy victory of unanticipated horses, or unrealistically high ratings, especially if the other contenders in the field experienced troubled trips.
With practice and experience, a horse race handicapper, is able to evaluate a horse's trip with ease and accuracy. He is also able to apply this to future races, as he has kept scrupulous notes to make this a simple process.
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.
