In the coming section, our team of experts are going to share their top tips on making the right choices when it comes to horse race betting. These tips will help boost your bankroll and put you on track towards becoming a big-time horse racing betting winner.

Start with the Horse

The first thing you need to know is the history of the horse, so start by researching the actual horse you are wanting to bet ok. The most important aspect to research is the horses experience and record; what is their win/lose ratio? Have they raced the track before? How have they done in their last few races?

Next you want to check on the current condition of the horse; has it been overworked recently or adequat rest? Is there any recent injuries or health issues? How often is the horse raced?

Ideally, we would advice to watch your favourite horse in a race before betting on it as this will give you more of an idea of the type of running style and how they work with their jockey.

History of the Jockey

A lot of novice horse racing bettors put all of their research in to the horse they are looking to bet on and they forget to look in to the jockey, the one driving the horse. There are a few things to consider when researching a jockey.

First: look in to their win/loss history and whether they have recently gained weight or are returning from a break. All of these factors contribute to how a horse will be ridden.

Second: you need to check their experience with the specific horse you are looking to bet on and the track they are going to be racing on. A jockey and his horse need to be completely in sync. Also, not all tracks are the same, so it makes a difference as to whether the jockey is familiar with it.

Its All About the Track

Not all tracks are created equal, the same with F1 tracks, they are all different and this is no different with horse racing. Not only do you have varying surfaces (dirt, turf, synthetic) but also weather conditions (rain, wind, low sun) and track locations (humidity, temperature, ground saturation).

To make an informed decision while considering all of these factors you need to look at the above, jockey and horse. Look at the history of them as a team and if there is any history of them racing under similar conditions in the past.

When it comes to the track itself, conditions matter a lot. If the track is muddy, its going to be harder for the horse to race on. If the humidity is low, the ground will be harder and effect the impact put on the horses joints.

Betting on Every Race

This is probably the most important tip to remember! If you are struggling to pick just one horse in the race the best thing to do is not pick any. Sometimes a racebook will get it right and offer a high probable win but sometimes they are unsure and placing a bet in this situation you are going to be guessing, gambling and ending.
