Horse Race Ratings… How Many Is Enough
There is no such thing as analysing a horse race without using horse race ratings. Whatever paper or website you open that horse racing information there will be ratings. The reason for that is… In order to assess something we need to make it tangible. Although we think we’re given a lot of information about horse racing, in fact we’re…

How Are Topspeed Ratings Calculated?
Anyone who has ever attempted to analyse horse racing will know it’s all too easy to get buried beneath a cavalcade of statistical data; and not all of it is useful! Serious punters always look to have an edge on the bookie by creating various systems based on dozens of different racing criteria. As well as the Timeform Ratings, Racing…

How A Race Horse Improves Its Class
Between National Hunt and Flat races there are a variety of classifications and unless you are an experienced horse racing enthusiast, the sheer number of conditions in each race can be off-putting. However, if you’re prepared to put the time and effort into analysing the ratings of each horse, you’re likely to be rewarded over the course of time. The…

How To Get Out Of A Hole When Trading On Any Sport
Sports trading basically means the art of ‘backing’ and ‘laying’ betting odds in order to make a profit before the end of an event and more popularly used in horse racing. When you ‘back’ something you are hoping for that event to occur and when you ‘lay’ you are banking on that event NOT happening. For example: You bet £10…

Weekly Eyecatchers – Horse Racing
After a frustrating run it was good to see Entihaa win at Wolverhampton on Monday. I got on at 4/1 this morning and the value of taking early prices was reinforced as the horse was well backed into 9/4 at the off.

Archive Betting Systems – Horse Racing (AW Investment)
Back in October I wrote the first post using archived betting systems. The idea was that we could take an old betting systems rules for horse racing, see if it worked or not and then discover whether we could make it turn a profit.

How Racecourses Are Graded In Horse Racing
How Racecourses Are Graded If you are relatively new to horse racing, all the talk about courses, grades and classes is more than a bit perplexing. For a start, jump races (also known as National Hunt) and flat races have separate ‘grades’ and ‘classes’ but don’t confuse the grade of a ‘race’ with the grade of an actual racecourse. In…

Weekly Eyecatchers – Horse Racing
Not many runners last week but one of my recent eyecatchers Rich Again ran at Wolverhampton on Saturday evening and shaped well again when finishing 4th. The six year old is becoming a very well handicapped horse in horse racing and must be backed next time out in my opinion! Another eyecatcher to run last week was Compton Bird. The…

Van Der Wilding: A Horse Racing Betting Strategy Part 2
In my last post on the Van Der Wilding method, I looked at how I’ve adjusted the original system to find contenders. The focus of today’s post is how to reduce those contenders into selections using form reading. To do this I’m going to be using the ratings inside the Racing Dossier to analyse this race.

The Friendly Horse
The Friendly Horse I wonder how many of us, who enjoy horse racing, ever think about WHY there is a mostly cooperative relationship between horse and jockey? Very few animals are able to adapt to domestication or develop a cooperative relationship with humans. Cats and dogs are obvious examples of species who have adapted to domestication.

Do Trainers With Only One Horse At A Meeting Make Profits?
Training a horse is a very expensive process as well as being incredibly hard work. Basic expenses include bedding, feed, stall rent, an exercise rider, supplements and a variety of other equipment. Then there is the small matter of transporting the horse to meetings and paying the jockey. In simple terms, trainers are dependent on purse winnings (and betting winnings)…
