How To
How to evaluate track conditions for horses
Analyzing the track surface involves understanding how different surfaces can affect a horse’s performances. The weather can make dirt tracks go from being fast, firm and dry to sloppy. Turf courses are also subject to variation. The term “yielding” is used when the ground has a significant amount of give. Synthetic tracks have a more consistent composition, but the temperature can influence their composition. Past performances can often reveal a horse’s preference for certain conditions. When placing bets, always check the track conditions and think about how the changes made since the previous race may affect the outcome.
