If the winner of the Kentucky Derby closes in the last 1/4 mile, yes. there could be a Triple Crown winner-i.e., Steppehwolfer-if the winner of the Kentucky Derby is a front runner-Lawyer Ron (sire=Langfuhr)-it would be very doubtful.\n\nThere is too much pressure on the horses in the Grade 1 racing program and most breeding farms are breeding for speed, not stamina. If Point Determined lays off of the pace and is in contention at the top of the stretch, his breeding and racing background, including blood lines, may allow Point Determined to be a powerful force in the Belmont stakes 1 1/2 mile.\n\nHow the race is run, who wins, and fresh horses being thrown against Kentucky Derby winners are all important factors.\n\nWe'll all get a better picture as to whether or not there will be a Triple Crown champion after the Kentucky Derby. Watch the breeding-pedigree-of the winner of the Kentucky Derby and keep this question posted until the second week in May for better answers...

Dutch win betting or "dutching" is a gambling term to mean structuring your bets (on two or more betting interests) in a manner that will realize an equal profit regardless of which one wins. Dutching is a powerful tool used to cover several horses in the same race and guarantee the maximum possible return. Using the calculator provided above all you need to do is type in the odds you expect to receive (example 5-1) in the odds converter and it will automatically convert the track odds into a priceline number. Copy the priceline number into the calculator and repeat this process for all of the horses that you are considering. Then determine the amount you wish to risk and click the button marked calculate. The calculator will then determine the exact amount needed to risk on each horse according to your desired risk to insure the same return no matter whom you choose to win. The advantage of dutch betting is it takes the guesswork out of what to do when you like more than one horse in the same race.\n\nhttp://www.oddsonracing.com/bettors_corner_tools.cfm

Suppose there were three horses running in a race. If you put money on each one of them to win, place or show, you are guarenteed to win three times because each of them will win, place or show. That is hedging a bet. I'm not sure why they use the word 'hedging', but that is the general idea.

if you have a horse going off at 3-5 like Barbaro did today, you aren't gonna win much money betting on him unless you plunk down A LOT (100 or more) and even then, if Barbaro breaks his ankle, like he did, you lose bigtime.  It's not a safe way to make money.  The thing I like to do is do an exacta or trifecta in that situation.\n\nToday, I would have bet Barbaro with Brother Derek, Sweetnorthernsaint, and Bernadini finsihing 2nd and 3rd in a box.  It would have paid quite nicely, had Barbaro won.

The horse needs to stay calm and relaxed. No energy can be used due to nerves or excitement. Race is on the track not in the barn. You do not feed the horse after 7 AM-no treats/no carrots, nothing. No morning workout the day before or race day, any and all races. Racehorses are the sole responsibility of the trainer even though the backbone of the racing industry is the owner of the horse...no owner-... no horse, no jockey, no trainer, no ferrier, etc. It all starts with the owner.\n\nFilms must be ordered, veternarians must examine the horse and, if need be, segregate the horse after a shot of lasix  has been administered. No visitors allowed in the backstretch, expecially near the horses readying to race. Security is tight. The groom and the hot-walker are usually the same person, so as to have the horse be in familiar hands when not racing. \n\nHorses are very sensitive to colic and must be well rested and not "blowing" hard after the race before they can drink or eat. Most trainers will not allow any visitors in the barn who are not specifically authorized, before or after any race to prevent the horse from becoming excited and injure himself in the stall. Visitors can excite the horses or give him treats which may comprimise any additive or medication given the horse.\n\nKentucky Derby day is very hectic and everybody wants to win as to bring in maximum amount of revenue for breeding purposes. Most kentucky Derby winners will start at $100,000 to cover a broodmare, once the horse has been retired. So, with 50-75 owners of broodmares ready to have their broodmares impregnated with the male sperm of the winner of the Kentucky Derby, multiply that income each year for twenty years. The income to the owner of a Kentucky Derby can be substantial over the years. Those figures are in place every year and skyrocket to $300,00-$500,000 if the winner of the Kentucky Derby produces a young colt who also wins the Kentucky Derby. \n\nOnce a horse enters the breeding shed he no longer races. It has been tried, to bring horses back into racing, but the horses are usually older and don't fair well once retired and returned to the track.\n\nIn essence, to have a horse even race in the Kentucky can be very lucrative for the owner, even if the horse comes last!...All in all, the security surounding the horses, any horse race is tight, to prevent the horse from injuring himself, other horses and the jockeys from a spill during the race. Not good for the horse/jockey and BAAAAD public relations for the track and the industry as a whole...\n\nTo get the pedigree of a racehorse, you need to obtain the letters and numbers tattoed on the inside of the upper lip. Sometimes it is very difficult to see the number. Use a high digital camera, 4 MP or larger, cover the horses eyes so as not to frieghten the horse, and take a flash-photo, once the upper lip is rolled back. Enhance that photo of the inside of the horses lip, where the number is located, onto a computer screen and retrieve it. Check with any equine veternarian within your state, as to how to check the pedigree once you have retrieved the number.\n\nAt the sales/auctions the pedigree is listed in the catologue that is given out for free at the entrance to anyone who is interested, as sometimes, horses may not have a tattoo because they may never have raced or are too young, yearling. But, most racehorses are tattooed early in life. It is very difficult to retrieve any information, pedigree/race record/injuries/etc., without that tattoo, on the inside of the upper lip, especially in older horses, unless papers are offered at the time of purchase. Certain features may depict a type of pedigree, i.e., large head may indicate a Bold Ruler progeny, but, it is strictly a good guess at best. That tattoo on the inside of the upper lip is the best way to find out about a horses pedigree and racing history...\n\n\nI hope I have answered your question and thank you very much for your r

5/2?? This means that you will get $5 (or whatever currency you are) for every $2 you bet, so $10 will get you $25 back in total (including what you bet). Not that good odds, I wouldn't bet on that, the risk is outweighed by the return, in my opinion. Good luck on the bet, whatever you do.

Normally the owner of the horse will prearrange the amount they give you and as far as winning the person above me has it covered really well.\n\nHope this Helps!

Not quite.  Although the figures are correct, these are in fact returns.  You placed £9 worth of bets so you actually won £64.50.

Basically, handicapping is looking at a horse in a particular race to decide how well the horse will do in that race.  Professional handicappers do this to see if a horse would be at an advantage or disadvantage in a race, and to see if adjustments should be made to equal out the field of horses.  For example, a proven winner and experienced horse might have to carry more weight in a race than a green, unproven horse to give the green horse a better chance at winning the race, since the more weight a horse carries the harder it is to run.  Professional handicappers do this by looking at things like race record, who the horse has raced against before, how long since the horse raced last, who may be riding the horse, etc.\nFor the amateur handicapper who just wants to place a good bet, handicapping can be as simple as looking for the best horse in the paddock before the race to studying a horse for weeks before the race to find the best one.  Most handicappers look at four things when looking at a horse: Speed, or how fast the horse can run or has run before, Pace, or how the horse likes to run in a race (you dont want to bet on the sprinter who can only run fast for a quarter mile to win in a mile long race for example), Form, or how the horse looks (for example, if the horse has won the past five races it has been in, it is more likely to win than the horse who has not won in the past five races), and Class, or how high a calibur the horse is (you would expect a horse that won the Kentucky Derby to be able to beat a field of horses in a claiming race just because the Kentucky Derby horse should be of a higher caliber than the claiming horses).  Other factors could be considered, such as pedigree, trainer, rider, weather, condition of the racetrack, etc.  The best place to find out alll this information is the Daily Racing Form.  Pick one up the day before a race or go online at www.drf.com to see the statistics on each horse in a race, then pick who you think will be a winner. Handicapping is not an exact science, so try out different ways and see which works best for you.

In horse racing the first horse across the finish line is in the money. The second horse across is in the show place. This is from a song from the forties. If you were to go to the track today you would find Win Place Show, first second third. These are catagories of talking about the winnings of a horse.

This completely depends on the horse. If you're asking as a gambling tip, you're better off asking about a specific horse. You need to take in their workouts, their racing style, their trainer, and even their jockey.

In horse racing for instance, the bookmaker decides which horse is most likely to win (the favourite).  If it is a three horse race, the favourite would be probably 1 - 4, the second favourite 1 - 1 and the third 3 - 1.  Once betting starts, if he receives a large bet on the second favourite, he may cut the odds to 1 - 3 and increase the favourite to the same 1 - 3.  This continues until just before the off when he balances his books.  He may offer the favourite at 1 - 1 just before the off to ensure that he does not lose.   In, say, a boxing match, he will do the same 1 - 5 on his first choice and 1-1 on the second. When betting begins, these odds will fluctuate.  If it is a draw the bookie wins all, unless of course he took bets on the result being such.  (The odds 1 - 3 mean that you put three dollars on to win one, plus your initial bet, so if you win, you get four dollars back).
