My father taught me the most important lesson I ever learned about betting horses. Don't bet the horse, bet the odds board.\n\nExample: If you handicap a horse to win and the horse is even money, forget him, find a better bet, even if you know the even money shot is going to win.\n\nI've been betting horses, and winning, since I was 12, about 42 years ago. This is the best lesson I ever learned.\n\nIt doesn't answer the handicapping question (current form, curren class, current success of connections) but it may help in winning more money, and I think that's what you are looking for.

Barbaro appears to be a good horse but I favored Brother Derek in the Kentucky Derby and knew that with the post postion he had that it would be a difficult trip and the way he finished was extremely impressive and showed that if he had a better trip he would have at least made it a horserace if not winning it altogether, let's not forget that he is a grandson of Alydar whose heart and courage and speed was enormous and I believe this has been passed on plus he is from the Raise a Native sireline which has had great success in the "classic" races, (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes).Boxing the two of them would be smart and for the trifecta I would maybe throw Diabolical in the mix.

Declarations are not in yet for this meeting, but will be later this afternoon - check out www.racingpost.co.uk and click Cards on the left hand side of the page, then select the date you want and finally the course.\n\nAs a rough guide when picking out horses it is always a good idea to look at them in the paddock before the race.  Check to see if they look well (shiny coat, bright eyes, not looking overweight) and how they are reacting to the surroundings.  As a rule of thumb a horse that misbehaves before a race will not run well as they are not concentrating on their job.\n\nFinally pick up a Racing Post tomorrow morning and read through the form guides before you get to the meeting.\n\nHappy racing!

You should go to races and bet there at betting booths. The types of betting are usually described in the horse race brochure of that particular race. The simplest way of betting is to bet that your horse will come first ("win"), first or second ("place"), or first, second or third ("show"). There are more complicated types of betting (like trifecta) which have low odds of success and may be difficult for a beginner.\nAs for strategy, if you don't know anything about horses and cannot pick the best by just looking at them (few can!), you should look at the odds ratio displayed by the name of a horse before the race. The lowest odds (say, 20:1) means that the horse is unlikely to win, but if it does, your winnings will be the greatest. Vice versa, if odds are high (like 2:1), it means that the horse is very likely to win, but your winnings will be low. So the best and simplest strategy is to pick a horse somewhere in the middle (say 10:1): in this case, there is a good chance it can win and bring you decent winnings.

The trainers theses days are so much better( a smarter breed)but this horse is use to getting 3 to 6 weeks between racing efforts....if they get his all in Preakness could be nothing left for the Third jewel....I do hope this horse races afterwards though...like the Breeders Cup stuff no matter what happens.....I like the turf to dirt move ...speed breaks down faster on the grass..so if your horse can do a mile or longer at 2 yrs(good effort 5th or better)..try him on the dirt...and the rest is HISTORY

A quinella is picking the first and second place dogs\nA trifecta is picking the first, second, and third place dogs\nA Superfecta is picking the first, second, third and fourth place dogs\n\nyou can bet them to come in the exact order, or you can pick the number of dogs and box them, then it wouldnt matter what place they came in.\n\nthe daily double is usually picking the winner of the first and second races\n\nWhen looking at the program, try looking at all the information, they usually give you the results of the last 5 races that dog has been in.\n\nIt is a myth to pick the dog that takes a dump right before the race.

They are all major parties, the Derby is the biggest.\nI sure recommend the Breeder's Cup as well if you\nwant to watch the best racing horses all day long.

the expression 'the dogs are up is used in the training of thorobred horses---when a part of the racetrack is not in use e,g the inner portion which is unsafe for training or running at the present time---it is usually blocked of by some means--e.g. safety barriers or cones----then horse and riders use the other portion of the track,----the unsafe portion most of the times are caused by torrential rain fall or sometimes overuse of races since riders take the shorter way home "on the rail'in a race.

They start at basically the same spot, since one lap around Belmont's dirt course is one and a half miles.\n\nThe reason why it looks otherwise is because tracks usually give the horses some yardage to get up to speed so to speak.  Different tracks (I think) may give horses more yardage to run to start races, depending on track configurations, distance of the race, etc.\n\nExample, I believe Pimlico pretty much starts their 6 furlong races on the 3/4 pole on the 6 furlong chute because of the track's configuration.

I bet animals, so I will say either horse racing or cock fighting

Using probability, you can show that it is better to switch.  It does raise your chance of winning a good prize.\n\nLet's think of this in terms of having two doors with a goat and one door with a car.  Thus, the probability that you originally picked the car is 1/3 and probability that you origianally picked a goat is 2/3.\n\nIf you picked the car (1/3 probability), then one of the two doors with a goat would be openned.  If you switch, then you get a goat automatically.  If you picked one of the goats (2/3 probability), then the other goat would be shown.  If you switch, you would win the car.  Thus, if you switch, you have a 1/3 probability of winning a goat and a 2/3 probability of winning the car.\n\nThink about if you kept your door.  The original probabilties would still hold.  1/3 probability of getting a car; 2/3 probabilty of getting a goat.\n\nWikipedia has a good discussion of this problem.  I especially like the tree diagram that is shown there.

There are a number of ways, but, the most formidable is to raise the upper lip and retrieve the number tattooed on the inside of the upper lip. Sometimes, the number is difficult to see, so try this idea. Get a high speed digital camera, 4 MP or more, and snap a photo of the inside of the upper lip with a towel or cloth over the horses eyes so as not to scare or frighten the horse from the flash. Download the photo of the horses inside portion of his upper lip onto a computer and print out the numbers. Take the photo and get in touch with the equine veterinarian within your state and explain to him what you want i.e., pedigree, race record, etc., and the equine veterinarian will tell you exactly what to do.\n\nIf there is no number on the inside of the upper lip of a horse, the horse never raced. All horses are checked by track officials before they enter the racetrack so as to make certain the right horse is on the racetrack and listed on the program as scheduled.\n\nYou may also ask the previous owner of the racehorse for the race record and pedigree and take it for what it's worth.

Seeing a horse doing what he enjoys to do means more than $$.These horses - the good ones - love to run. I love watching a talented pair of horses grind it out to the wire or a gutsy domination of a field of good ones. But equally like watching a reining horse letting the dirt fly and a Saddlebred showing off as the crowd cheers and a jumper strut off the course like he owns the world. The world of polo is known for $$$ but the horses are ATHLETES. \nThe good ones leave a memory. Skywalker and Imperator battling out, lathered but digging down in competition for the World title in the 5 gaited class. Secretariat's domination and Affirmed and Alydar's duels. The image of Gils Bay Boy (Scamper) streaking away from the third barrel with the bridle dangling between his front legs, but in control running for the title. Reading of horses like the legendary Snowman, Pharlap, Dan Patch, Greyhound, Wing Commander and others. I don't watch for the bets or the handicapping but for the enjoyment of an athlete.
