Betting on Race Horses – The Trifecta and Superfecta

September 28th, 2011 No comments

Betting on race horses can be a very lucrative.  Usually you can bet anything you like on a race horse but in most places a minimum bet is required. There are various tracks anyone can wager at; thoroughbred, harness and quarter horse are some common examples.

There are various kinds of bets you can place at the race track. There is the Trifecta; betting on three horses but they must win in the order in which you bet them. This has a minimum wager of two dollars, one of the more

expensive of the cheap bets. The second is the Trifecta Key, you bet on three horses. Pick one to be your key horse which must come in first and the other two have to come in second and third in any combination in order to collect with a minimum wager of a dollar. The Trifecta Box is the third way to bet by playing three horses. The horses must then finish first, second and third in any order. This one is a minimum of a dollar to bet.

first through fourth in the order you place the bet. This carries a minimum wager of two dollars.  The Superfecta Box is a bet that is placed by playing four horses. These four horses must finish first through fourth in any order but they must come in first through fourth. The betting on this one is a bit odd. It usually is just a dollar minimum bet but some race tracks go as low as ten cents per bet. The Superfecta Box is one of the most common horse gambling tactics to pay off a high return

on a good choice.

The final bet we will discuss is called the Superfecta Key. With this, betting becomes a bit more complex. As usual with the Superfectas, you wager on four horses. You then pick a key horse that must finish first. Now, the other three horses must then finish second, third and fourth in any order. However within these three placements, you may bet on other horses. Any one of these other horses can come in second, third and fourth within their perspective finishes. This gambling method is usually with a minimum of a dollar but has been known to run as high as three or four dollars.

Horse betting can be about luck, but for it to be profitable it also requires a bit of strategy.

The Development of Horse Racing

September 26th, 2011 No comments

Horse racing is a sport in which horses, mainly thoroughbreds, run at speed with a rider on top. In a race involving standardbreds, a horse pulls a conveyance with a driver in it. It is an ancient sport and it has not really undergone any significant change over the centuries. However, it has transformed into an entertainment business from one that was enjoyed only by the rich in the olden days.   As regards the style, the distances involved in the race and the type of events, th

e specifications may vary from country to country, but the key feature does not change. The winner is the horse that finishes first.

Thoroughbred is a breed of horse developed for racing purposes. Thoroughbreds are a mixture of Arab, Turk, and Barb horses with native English horses. In thoroughbred racing the track used will be oval in shape. The speed and stamina of the horses will be put to test in such races. The two types of thoroughbred races are conditions and handicap races. Conditions

races are very prestigious races, involving huge payouts. In handicap races, each horse has to carry a specified amount of weight based on its capability.

Apart from the weight the horses carry, other factors like proximity to the inside barrier, the surface conditions of the track, gender of the horse, the jockey, etc., also influence the outcome of the race. The race is conducted on dirt, synthetic or turf track and the distance varies from five to twelve furlongs.

In previous years, races

were held usually between two horses or at the most three horses, with the purse provided by the owners. If an owner withdrew from the race, he forfeited half the purse. Open field racing started around the middle of the 18th century on the back of demand and led to the development of eligibility rules.

There are gambling stations at many of the venues of horse races. A gambler can stake money on a horse. There are three ways to bet money in North American racing. These are to win, place and show. In bet to win kind of betting, the bet is the winner if the horse comes in the first place. When it comes to bet to place, the gambler is betting on his chosen horse to finish in the first, second or third place, depending on the number of horses participating in the race. In bet to show betting, the gambler wins whether the horse finishes in the first, second or third position. The payouts for each type of betting will different, with the payoffs being the least on average for the third type.

Off Track Handicapping Tips for Horse Races

June 24th, 2011 No comments

Horse racing, like any outdoor sport, is subject to the vagaries of the weather. Therefore, sooner or later, you are going to be faced with the choice between playing the races on an off track or not playing the races because the surface is rated as muddy, sloppy, or good. Many handicapping gurus suggest passing on anything but a fast track. That’s not bad advice, but what if all the tracks you usually handicap are wet?

Some people like to use the old adage, “When life gives you le

mons, make lemonade.”

That may apply to an off track that Mother Nature has presented to you. How do you handicap an off track? First of all, just as you use past performances to evaluate the runners in a race, you can use past performances to evaluate the track. If you have a favorite race track that you want to handicap often then I advise you to pay attention to it when it is off and make some notes to yourself. Each race track has its own peculiarities and characteristics and that means y

ou can use them to your advantage.

First of all, look for a bias. When it is rated as sloppy, for instance, does it favor a particular running style? Do front runners win more often on a sloppy surface? When it is muddy, do horses win from off the pace by closing down the center of the track? Is the rail dead when the water runs toward the inside of the track? All these characteristics and many others may be found and used to your advantage when you find a runner who will benefit from the bias

.

The next useful tips concern the horses. First of all, look through your past performances for any horse who has run over the surface in its present condition. If the track is labeled muddy and you see that one of the runners has won on the track when it was muddy, that means it may benefit from the mud. Be careful when you see a horse that is shipping in that has won in the mud at another track.

Believe it or not, all muddy tracks are not the same. The same is true of tracks rated as sloppy. That is because of the consistency of the various surface. Some are stickier than others when they are muddy because they have more clay. Some, like Belmont Park, are very sandy. Keeping a list of the sires whose progeny have won at your favorite track when the going was off, will give you one more tool to beat the races with advanced horse racing handicapping that most of the other horse players won’t have at their disposal.

Will Belmont Finally Witness a Record after Years of Wait and Rest?

June 18th, 2011 No comments

This time it was Triple Crown’s last and final leg, the Belmont Stakes that became the target of another upsetting episode as Ruler on Ice, an underdog, starting from the 3rd post positions with a not so impressive 24-1 odds raced to victory while the dark horses lost way and the probable heroes gasped for breath in the final home stretch.

Mr. Prospector, the great grand sire of Ruler On Ice has an incredible progeny that includes 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, Red Bullet (Preakness Stakes winner 2000 who upset FePug’s Belmont Stakes), Thunder Gulch (1995 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes), Afleet Alex (2005 Preakness and Belmont Stakes), Funny Cide (2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes) and Zenyetta (who won 19 out of 20 career starts including 2008 Breeder’s Cup Ladies Classic and also 2009 Breeder’s Cup Classic).

Time for a Great Kentucky Derby – Here is Why This Year's Race Just Might Be the One

May 11th, 2011 No comments

For those that say this year’s race is devoid of interest, to that I say, nonsense. There are several scenarios that could make for a memorable derby. Here are three possibilities.

First, Uncle Mo will redeem himself and do what Secretariat did, show himself to be the true superstar that everyone knows is lurking underneath the cloud that has overhung him ever since his loss in the Wood, and put forth a spectacular performance. I can see the crowd getting really excited over seeing

Uncle Mo draw off by 5 powerful lengths.

Second, the media will focus on some of the personal stories surrounding the horses, or some of the personal struggles some of the contenders have gone through. The odds of survival for Mucho Macho Man seemed to be slim when his breeder found him already born and lying there lifeless. Their attempts to revive him were eventually successful, and he got up and ran off. Everyone loves to see a horse overcome the odds, then thrive and eventually prosper.

The final reason that this may be a great race is simply because the race seems to be a wide open affair as the contestants look to be fairly evenly matched. Given that there are no super fast horses this year, almost anyone could win. For this reason, I am going to pay special attention to all the horses, because I truly believe any one of the 20 entered can win this year. Even 2009 long shot winner Mine That Bird might’ve merited a second look if he was entered this year. This might be a good

thing because it will force the fans to look over each horse a little more carefully and not get drawn into the hype surrounding a Big Brown or Barbaro type horse, only to have some unknown horse come out of nowhere cross the finish line, after which everyone will be looking at each other and asking “who was that that just won?” Even the man who called the 2009 Kentucky Derby hesitated once Mine That Bird struck the lead, so thoroughly dismissed was he. He may have been the one horse in the race of whose presence I wasn’t even aware.

And because the race is wide open, that leaves us with the greater possibility of a really close finish. Imagine Dialed In, Mucho Macho Man, Nehro, and Uncle Mo battling head to head the last sixteenth of a mile, giving everything they’ve got, desperately trying to get to that wire first as the crowd goes bananas, with the difference between immortality and oblivion being perhaps only a hairs breadth.

Or imagine Uncle Mo stumbling at the start and losing five lengths to the field, Dialed In strikes the lead at the top of the stretch and leads by a seemingly comfortable three lengths in mid-stretch. Then, out of nowhere the orange silks of Uncle Mo are sighted and are seen gaining ground quickly on the leader. Julian Leparoux senses the danger and furiously tries to rouse Dialed In for just another furlong, but Uncle Mo is coming relentlessly and has dead aim on him. Time is running out and Dialed In calls on all his class to hold off the determined challenger, Uncle Mo charges at him with one last lunge, here is the wire, it is………..!

I told you this year’s Kentucky Derby would be a great race.

To Honor and Serve

This beautiful horse is trained by Bill Mott. Bill has won training awards from across the country and is the youngest trainer ever inducted into the Hall of Fame at the age of 45. He has trained many champions and Horse of the Year. Bill has entered seven horses in the Kentucky Derby but the best his horses have finished is in eighth place.

To Honor and Serve is owned by Live Oak Plantation’s Charlotte Weber who is very excited about her horse’s future. Charlotte is the granddaughter of Campbell Soup founder John Dorrance and serves on the Board of Trustees at the company. She also provided funding for the Met Museum’s Charlotte C.

Live Oak has a network of trainers including Christophe Clement, Bill Mott, Nick Zito, Seth Benzel and Marty Wolfson.

ion on the track each year for the last ten years. Mott gained his love for horses by working with his father, a veterinarian. His first winner, My Assets, was when Mott was just fifteen. In the mid 1970’s Bill apprenticed under another Hall of Fame trainer named Jack Van Berg in Omaha. After that he went out on his own. Analysts say Bill trains for the long term and the “big picture.”

Every winter and spring Bill trains his thoroughbreds at Payson Park in Florida where he takes his horses on trail rides. The emphasis there is training, fitness and letting the horses be horses. To Honor and Serve went there after winning the Remsen Stakes and it was there he found his long run stride. Recently, To Honor and Serve finished third at the Fountain of Youth by almost seven lengths. Bill had to remind himself that it was a prep race and that winning wasn’t the goal. The rider, John Velasquez, was instructed to not “try to do too much” and to see what they might need to work on. John has compared To Honor and Serve to another horse, R Heat Lightning and told Mott that he has the ‘right’ horse.
