Betting on Horse Races
If you are interested in betting on horses, the first thing that you should know about each race is the type of horse. There are many different types of races, such as the BREEZE, BRIDGE-JUMPER, BULLET, and WORK. You should be able to recognize each type of race by the following characteristics:
BREEZE
A thoroughbred horse’s physical maturity is reached by the time it reaches its fourth year. Therefore, racing an older thoroughbred is like watching a junior varsity basketball game. However, the thrill of betting on an older thoroughbred’s performance remains high. It is the unknown age of the horse that makes it so exciting. Nevertheless, there are several things to consider before wagering on an older thoroughbred.
BRIDGE-JUMPER
As an aspiring handicapper, you may be wondering how to make a profit betting on the BRIDGE-JUMPER horse races. There are several ways to make a profit betting on horse races, including picking winners in the BREEZE, BRIDGE-JUMPER, BULLET, and RAIL RUNNER. This article will give you some tips on betting on horse races.
BULLET
Horse race bulletin is a publication containing information regarding horses’ performances in the recent races. This publication is often sold at race tracks and provides valuable handicapping information. The bulletin will include the name of the track, the race date and time, and detailed information about the horses, including Beyer speed, position at post, first call, stretch call, and finish position. If you want to be informed before betting on the race, you can purchase a copy of the bulletin online.
WORK
The chart is a visual representation of the position of each horse at the designated points of call. The chart will show the weight carried, the number of chefs-de-race in a horse’s pedigree, the trainer and owner, pay-off prices, odds, time, and other information. A chestnut horse never has black points, mane, tail, or tail hair. The horse will also be spotted by the chart caller.
CALK
When you’re betting on a horse race, there are some things to keep in mind, and the CALK horse race is one of them. The field is usually comprised of six selections, but the Racing Secretary adjusts the odds to reflect any additional horses that may enter the race. This is why the favorite horse may slow down during the “bullet work” before the race. As such, oddsmakers adjust the odds accordingly.
Santa Anita Handicap
In 1935, the Santa Anita Handicap horse race was first held, and was a $100,000 minimum purse. Back then, that was a staggering sum for a horse race. The race is now open to horses four years old and older. In 1937, Seabiscuit, a hard-luck colt ridden by Red Pollard, won the race and won the $100,000 minimum purse. It was also known as “The Big Cap” or “Hundred-Grander.”
King’s Plates
The Queen’s Plate is a major horse race in Canada. It is the only race in the country that is run on an artificial dirt surface. Kinghaven Farms Izvestia won the race in 1990 with a time of 2:01 4/5. Queen Mother Elizabeth, the race’s patron, attended the 115th running to celebrate the race’s centennial. Several notable horsemen have won the race.
Jersey Act
The Jersey Act or the Jersey Law was an amendment passed by the English Jockey Club in 1913. It banned Thoroughbred horses from entering the British General Stud Book and required all horses to be of General Stud Book registered stock. As a result, many American-bred Thoroughbreds retired to breeding careers in Europe and the United States. The ban depressed Thoroughbred racing and breeding in the United Kingdom.
