A Dictionary Of Horse Racing Terms

by: Mike Davies

GELDING

After being castrated a male or colt horse is said to have been “gelded”. There are a variety of reasons behind this seemingly rather harsh practice.

By taking a horses mind off sex it becomes more amenable, and calm. A horse becomes less temperamental due to the shift in hormonal balance, which occurs with all neutered animals, including humans.

After gelding, horses are generally regarded as being easier to train and concentrate more readily on their racing.

Even more practical for National Hunt, gelding can prevent the extreme discomfort experienced by “entire” horses when jumping over hard fences, historically made from birch.

Irish horses intended for chasing are gelded automatically at an early age.

Most chasers are in fact geldings.

For a long time, many big flat races were not open to geldings, but this has now changed with most of the classics now being opened up to them.

One obvious financial argument against gelding is that after winning a major, a colt is instantly worth millions to big stables or stud syndicates.

Whereas “The Arkle” who won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1964, 65, and 66, was valued at the same price the day after the races as he was the day before.

National Hunt racing would not work without geldings, who are much admired by racegoers, regardless of stud decisions made by prejudiced breeders.

GOING

Advance forecasts in newspapers and the formbook advertise the state of the ground for a race meeting.

• Hard
• Firm
• Good to Firm
• Good to Soft
• Soft
• Heavy

“Soft with heavy patches” in the formbook indicates muddy patches.

Sometimes differences are noted on different parts of the course I.e. Going: Round course, soft. Straight course, good to soft.

The outcome of a race is significantly dependent on the state of the going. It is arguably THE most important factor in determining a race day favourite.

Comments including “likes some cut on the ground” or “likes some give underfoot” should be carefully noted.

Other horses prefer to race when the mud is flying and the formbook will note such horses as being a “confirmed mudlark”.

Still other horses don’t like soft conditions at all and need good going, the formbook will state “needs the top of the ground”, while some prefer really firm going eliciting descriptive comments such as “likes to hear his hooves rattle”.

Assessing the state of the going falls to the Clerks of the Course, who are open to severe criticism when their assessment is questionable.

Recent advances in science have allowed the art of poking the ground with a stick to become far more scientific with the introduction of a dubiously titled device known as the “penetrometer”.

One should always examine the weather forecast for a meeting as an essential adjunct to basic form study, and one should know a horse’s preference for a particular type of going.

For example at the time a newspaper or formbook is printed the going for any given race may indeed be good, but by the time of the race, heavy rainfall may have changed it to soft or heavy.

In many cases where the going has changed dramatically at the last minute, then a horse with a differing preference to the current going may be withdrawn.

However, it may be seen that vice versa, a late change of going can transform certain losers into possible winners.

The “going” is therefore uniformly accepted as essential by trainers, and their running intentions for their horses.

Timeform, the Racing Post, and the newspapers publish plenty of good information about the going. Comments such as “we will only run if we get that”, or “he will only run if its soft” and “he’s only good on good ground” are all well worth noting.

Finally it’s important to note that some courses hold rainwater better or worse than others.

For example at Newmarket the ground rarely reaches worse than soft. Good ground or good to soft are almost always the state of the going irrespective of rainfall on the Rowley mile in spring through to autumn.

GOOD WALKER

If you have access to the pre-race paddock inspection you should try to note whether the back or “hind” hoof coincides or overlaps with the point where the front hoof has been.

This feature is a sign that a horse will gallop well, and the horse is referred to as a “Good walker”

GREYS

A remarkable front running Grey, Desert Orchid, was an outstanding public hero between 1983 and 1991, dominating the jumps arena with 34 wins from 70 starts.

Greys account for only 3% of the entire horse racing population, but this ratio gives no indication of their overall popularity, particularly in the National Hunt theatre.

Foaled in 1704 and brought to England via Constantinople by Sir Robert Sutton, all thoroughbred “grey” horses can be traced back to the original “Alcock Arabian”.

Lay Favourites And Profit Every Day

Horse Racing Tips: Lay Favourites And Profit Every Day!
By: John Anthony

For all of you that are reading this that do not know what Laying is, it is simply YOU predicting 1 horse in any race that will NOT win that race. In effect YOU become a bookmaker and take bets from people who had horse racing tips that the horse WILL win.

I do not know if you have your own system or you use horse racing tips from a tipster, but this a very simple horse racing system anybody can use.

It is not complicated at all and it is simply pressing 1 button on Betfair exactly the same as you would if placing a win single bet {Pink lay button instead of the blue win button}

Some people will tell you that laying horses even from horse racing tips given by professional tipsters is a sure fire way to end up in the poor house and they would be dead right if you dont do it properly and this goes for ANY bet you have, not just laying…. So it applies to THEIR horse racing tips too!

Say for example we have a 12 runner horse race and you wanted to bet 1 of these to win that race, you will then have ALL the other 11 horses running AGAINST you and are trying to stop your 1 selection from winning.

Now on the other hand we have a 12 runner horse race and we pick 1 horse to LOSE {lay} we now have ALL the other 11 horses running FOR US and if any of those 11 horses win that race WE WIN, surely easier than backing horse racing tips from professional tipsters!!

Some tipsters give this kind of horse racing tips and I can assure that if done properly it can make you quite a lot of money!

So the odds are WITH you and not AGAINST you when laying.

The only problem with laying horses to lose is with YOU and the way you select them. You would imagine that Laying the outsider in all races would certainly stand you in good stead as the majority of them lose and you would win the majority of the time BUT unfortunately if you take that course you WILL come unstuck at some point and you WOULD wipe out any previous profits plus more from your original betting banks, as they do win now and again... no matter which horse racing tips you use.

Lets just imagine that the outsider in every race was 33/1 and you wanted just £10 profit per race, to win that £10 you would have a liability of £330, meaning that if that horse were to win YOU would LOSE £330, just not worth the risk!! You would only need a few bad horse racing tips per week to wipe you out.

So if laying the “Worst” horse in any given race is no good, then which horse SHOULD you lay?

Good question, which most of the people out there don’t know the answer for but today YOU are going to find out the EXACT method that generates me and the subscribers of my well known “Sure2Profit Membership” (www.Sure2Profit.com/membership.html ) over £80,000 of tax free profits per year!

Lay horse racing tips, the “Favourite”

Some of you probably think that I am a bit mad at this point, why would I lay the best horse in every race... what kind of horse racing tips are these??

Well, simply put the BEST horse in any race may NOT really be the best horse! The favourite in ANY race is only the favourite because WE make it the favourite by placing lots of money on it due to the same old horse racing tips being passed around, it’s as simple as that.

So if 1,000 people who DON’T use the right horse racing tips place £1000 each on the same horse then it could become the favourite even though its last run was down on Blackpool pleasure beach!

What we are going to do is to find “false” favourites, favourites that because of one reason or another shouldn’t really be shown on the major horse racing tips websites as set to win. .

Statistics show that favourite win their races just 30% of the time, some races are GOOD for favourite and some races are BAD for favourites.

Would you bet a 6/4 favourite in an 18 runner handicap race? I certainly would not BUT I would lay it, with the other 17 runners ALL running for me.... these are common sense horse racing tips!

Your liabilities are also good with you only risking £15 if the odds were 6/4 {2.5 on Betfair} to win £10, I’m sure you would agree that this is a lot better than the example above where you risk a LOT more for the same reward.

You may now see why “Laying” can be quite safe and how to profit from my horse racing tips.

Horse Racing Tips Selections

This part really is very simple and it will not take you long to find quite a few “False Favourites”.
Just follow my horse racing tips over the page.

1: Armed with either your daily newspaper or at the racing post website {Or Both} simply select the races with the most number of runners in them.

2: Ideally, you should look for handicap races which have 16 runners or more, these are were tipster’s horse racing tips seem to get it wrong the most.

3: If you can find any, Apprentice races and women jockey races are very good for laying the favourite.

4: Once you have these marked off, simply go through them and pick all the “Handicap” races. These are the races that are best to concentrate on.

5: Pick out any handicap races that have odds for the favourite quoted as no more than 7/4.

6: The above horses would be DEFINATE bets, don’t worry if there aren’t any on certain days, simply go to any race that has 16 runners or more.

7: Some days you may find that there are no 16 runner or above races, if this happens simply look for 14 runners etc.

8: When you have all the corresponding races, just go to www.betfair.com and check out the odds there for your selections.

9: If the odds are 2.8 and lower, then these are DEFINATE bets.

10: Do NOT lay selections that are below 1.9 on betfair, although a fair few of these lose, a fair few of them win as well and that we DON’T want.

When sticking to the above horse racing tips you will have great success when laying horses, when also using a sensible staking plan BUT if you add the following few rules to the above then you will achieve even more success.

So here is my personal horse racing tips:

1: After making your selections, either at the racing post website or any daily newspaper, just check to see if your horse is a Course & Distance winner {Shown as CD NEXT TO THE HORSE}. If it is then DONT lay it.

2: Is your selection carrying any more or less weight than it did in its last race? If it is carrying more weight then LAY it, if it is carrying less weight then do NOT lay its these one of my key horse racing tips for you to apply this system at its best.

4: Is your selection stepping up or stepping down in trip? If so then you SHOULD consider laying it.

5: Has your selection either a lady or apprentice jockey riding it? If so then LAY it because they DO make errors of judgment (Also part of my key horse racing tips!).

Apart from the above to make this work you will also need a sensible staking plan, one that will keep your money relatively safe and make your whole betting experience an enjoyable one, my horse racing tips will not work without the right plan!

This, or any other horse racing tips for that matter, would be not making you money unless you use the right staking plan...

By Muna wa Wanjiru

The horse racing is the fun game for many. Many people watch it for having enjoyment and entertainment. Some people go on wagering activities also. But it is not that much easier way to fix the wagering on the particular horse. Lots of research and inspection is required to pick the exact horse for betting.

It is very difficult to decide the winner in the horse race in advance.

Some steps given below should be followed to decide the horse racing picks.

One important way to decide about the picks is to start with the analysis of odds. The odds stated by the oddsmaker will give you idea about the chances of horse to win the race. If the odds given to you are better, it is a less chance to make the money from it.

The odds are the ratio in which the collections and stakes are stated. For gaining more money, think of the greater odds means the difference in the ratio should be greater. The risk is involved in it. But for making super gains and better payout, you have to take this chance to pick the horses with greater odds.

The analysis of horse race history is always helpful for deciding horse racing picks. If you are interesting in one horse for fixing your bets, then take a closure look in the history of him in the past racings.

You can use their knowledge for your purpose. The horse jockey is always very much involved in deciding the winning of the horses in race. You can enter the competition for wagering through trifecta, exacta, pick 3 or pick 6.

Kentucky Derby Preps Almost Ready

By Claudia Beckford

The winners of the three major preparation races will continue on their way to the Kentucky Derby which will be held on May 3rd. Unfortunately; not everything is good news mainly for the horses that didn’t have a good result on the preparation races as their current situation remains uncertain.

“Colonel John”, the horse which won the Santa Anita Derby will stay in California for the next two and a half weeks and later on will leave to the Kentucky Derby.

“Recapture the glory”, which achieved the victory at the Illinois Derby, will be in Kentucky as soon as his trainer and co-owner can meet and take him.

“Tale of Ekati”, the Wood Memorial winner was sent to Kentucky on Sunday along with War Pass and Court Vision, who finished second and third, respectively, at the Wood.

Of the three winners, Recapture the glory got the best Beyer Speed Figure, a 102. Colonel John got a 95, and Tale of Ekati a 93.

Colonel John made a great effort to win in Santa Anita "I can't believe the horse won," Harty said. "I thought he had so much to do. When El Gato Malo went by him, it looked like he wasn't firing. At that point, I would have been content to be third. How he did it, I don't know. I thought it was a phenomenal race.

Colonel John will work twice at Santa Anita before leaving for Kentucky about 10 days before the Derby. The horse will have his final work at Churchill Downs, Harty said.Tale of Ekati will be practicing in Keeneland until the Kentucky Derby starts, stated his trainer Barclay Tagg.

Tagg said that he has always think Tale of Ekati is a pretty good horse, it had some trouble at the gate, but Tagg has been practicing throughout the week and his running is better than what they expected.

Recapture the glory's Illinois Derby victory put it in the Kentucky Derby, justifying the $6,000 Roussel paid to make it a late Triple Crown nominee just before the March 27 deadline. Russell said he has 2 more races that are practices for the Derby, but that Recapture the glory has improved a lot and the Kentucky Derby may be his best race.

"I think he's improving immensely," Roussel said. "I saw him improving a great deal at Fair Grounds. His third race back, the Derby, I think it probably will be his best race."

For this weekend an event of interest will be an expected workout at Churchill Downs by Lane's End Stakes winner Adriano. That work, trainer Graham Motion said, would be used as a prove to see if he likes the track and and whether it should run in the Derby or instead remain on Polytrack in the Grade 2, $325,000 Lexington Stakes at Keeneland for next April 19.

Horse Racing Basics

By Delrick Mckay

Understanding the little details of horse racing can be a daunting activity for a number of people. This is particularly applicable for those who have very little background about the game. They’ll find it hard to grasp how horse racing will be able to let them win huge sums of money.

To appreciate horse racing betting, outlined below are some of the most important facts of the game that you need to know.

A Horse’s Resume?

Apparently, you need to have a thorough understanding of the track record and the racing form of the horse. This task is similar to scrutinizing a candidate during a job interview. You need to do a considerable amount of research because the horse doesn’t have the ability to sell itself to you. In addition, familiarize yourself with the races that the horse has joined in as well as its track record.

There’s also a need to have a peek on the medical history of the horse. The horse should be physiologically fit. Does it suffer from any kind of sickness? Obviously, a fit horse will more probably win.

Lineage is another important facet that determines the success of the horse. Thoroughbreds are the best breeds when it comes to horse racing.

The Significance of “Nurture”

Being a thoroughbred doesn’t automatically make the horse a sure winner in the race track. This is because there are other factors in this type of sport. One of them is a qualified trainer. The trainer will bear the responsibility of letting the horse go through a number of equestrian activities. With accurate training, any horse, even if it’s not a thoroughbred, will have a better chance of winning in any race.

The jockey is another main player in horse racing because he will be the one to direct the speed and tactics of the horse during the game. It becomes imperative for him then to have a special connection with the horse.

The Kinds of Bets

Horse racing employs three common forms of betting:
a. bet to win –Providing the highest payoff, this kind of betting makes you choose a horse who will become the fastest finisher in the race.
b. bet to place – In this kind of betting, you’ll bet on your horse to finish either on the first or the second place.
c. bet to show – Your chosen horse should be able to finish first, second or third for your bet to win. A bet to show provides the lowest payoff since this is the safest among the three kinds of betting.

Obviously, being informed of the basics on horse racing makes it enticing for you to start betting. Don’t rush though, as there are still many horse racing tips that you have to be familiar with. The items mentioned above may just be summarized into one horse racing tip, and that is: understanding the sport. It doesn’t mean, however, that if you are already knowledgeable on the fundamentals of horse racing, you can already bet and win instantaneously. You still need to know many other horse racing tips. Knowing the basics of the sport is just one horse racing tip.
