How To
How To Choose the Right Horse for Betting in Horse Racing
To select the right horse for placing a bet, start by studying the race program for horse and jockey statistics. Consider looking for consistent good performances in recent races. Class levels and whether the horse is moving up in class or down are important to consider. The track conditions can affect a horse’s performance. So, consider how the horse has performed in the past on different types of tracks (dirt or synthetic). Look at the horse’s behavior both in the paddock as well as during the warm-up. A calm horse with a focused attitude can indicate that it will perform well. You can also look at odds as an indication of what the betting public thinks about the horse. However you should always trust your analysis.
