HOW TO CHOOSE A WINNING HORSE

 HOW TO PICK A WINNING HAORSE

Although picking the winning horse in a horse race may not be an easy task, it is possible. You must consider many factors when making your selections. While it is necessary to do some research, all of that hard work will pay off in the end when your horse wins. Let's examine what you can do to help you select the winner.

Current form and class system

While this is important, it isn't as simple as selecting a horse who has won its last race to win again next. Red Rum was the Grand National winner in each of its subsequent years. It is beneficial to be in winning form, but it is important to consider the details.

In which class was the previous victory? British horse racing can be divided into Classes 1 through 6, then into Listed Races and the top races, Groups 1, 2 and 3. If your horse won in class 4 but is now in class 3, it will have to compete against horses with higher ratings. You must determine if your horse can handle the increased opposition. You should consider improving horses in this instance.

Losers can win

It is possible to not back a horse if it hasn't won any of its previous races. But, the class system may be able to come back into play. A horse with poor form may be dropped from the class hoping to win. If that is the case then you can look at the horse's form book and see how the horse has performed at lower levels. You might be able to win by dropping in your class.

Weight

When backing a horse in handicap, the most important thing to consider is its weight. If a horse is successful, the weight it must carry will rise. Does the higher weight stop another win, or does the horse have the potential to defy any penalty?

Another option is to reduce the horse's weight if it has had trouble with form. Do you think this will lead to a better performance? Both situations can be compared using the form book. See which weights it has been successful in.

Is there a reason to be concerned or is there a reason to hope?

Horses will prefer certain types of ground for running. Some horses might prefer soft ground while others may not like it. You can look back at past performances to see the results achieved under different conditions.

Distance

This is another important aspect to take into consideration. Horses may perform better at certain distances. A six-furlong race might be too short for a horse that runs five furlongs to a mile. You can find valuable information in the form book. If the horse is running well and has been running over six feet, he might be able to win if he's moved up to seven.

Course specialists

Some horses are more comfortable running on certain tracks than others. Kempton was the home of the famous Desert Orchid, who won seven times. It was well worth backing them. Your selection should have won the race on the course it is running on, and at the distance it covers. It's worth placing a bet.

Jockeys

It's a plus to have a top jockey onboard. It is possible for horses to be used to riding with a particular jockey. However, if another jockey is onboard, even a better one, it can make a difference. It is an additional factor that you should consider when trying to create a winning racing strategy.

How long has it been since its last race

No matter how talented a horse is, it can be hard to bring him back to the track if he's been absent for some time. A horse that has been off the track for a while may have a problem with the jumps and may need to be there in order to win the race. Some horses are more comfortable when they are fresh. Make sure to look at previous races. It is difficult to back a horse who has not raced in a while. Have they won the last race? You should check to see if the horse is a consistent performer when it makes quick reappearances. How to Pick a Winner - Horse Betting Systems
