Impressive in winning his final Derby prep race, the Spiral Stakes. This long shot could stun everyone at

Churchill Downs.

M

L

ODD

Ran to a disastrous fifth place finish in his last prep race, the Arkansas Derby. Consistency has been an issue

for this colt.

Winner of his last three races, this thoroughbred may have what it takes to win the Run for the Roses.

This Derby long shot was late entry into the Derby field, but he's won or placed in three-of-five career starts.

Inconsistency has plagued this colt throughout his career, but he still enters as a mild pre-race favorite.

Made up for his terrible seventh place finish with a strong second-place running in the Louisiana Derby.

This colt is one to keep an eye on.

Another later entry, this colt galloped to a third place finish in his final Derby prep race, the Spiral Stakes.

Still a long shot in the Derby though.

One of the pre-race favorites, he's finished out of the top three only once in six career starts and should fare

well this Saturday.

This oft inconsistent colt ran away from the pack in the Arkansas Derby, but finished fifth in his previous race,

the Gotham Stakes.

Another inconsistent colt who has finishes ranging from first to seventh in his lead up to the Derby which likely

wont add up to victory at Churchill Downs.

This colt has fared well and won half of his 10 starts. His fourth and sixth place showings late last year are the

only blemish on his impressive resume.

Won his first race of 2013 before faltering to a third and fourth place finish in his last two Derby prep races.

A long shot for a reason on Derby day.

One of the pre-race favorites and rightfully so. This colt has won every one of his four career starts and will be

a factor at Churchill Downs despite the outside gate.

Has run very well in four starts since a ninth-place finish in 2012, doesn't look to be much of a factor in the Derby.

This colt has won his last four races in a row and is the outright favorite to win the Derby. He should be among

the lead group at the final turn on Saturday.

Hard to know how this colt will fare on Saturday as consistency has been an issue. Recently won the Rebel Stakes,

but finished sixth a race earlier.

Took second place in the Arkansas Derby after faltering to a seventh and sixth-place finish in two previous starts.

Likely won't be a factor on race day.

Punched his ticket to the Derby with a win in the Blue Grass Stakes, but this colt hasn't run well in two previous

trips to Churchill Downs.

Was unbeaten before running to a third place finish in the Wood memorial Stakes. This colt has what it takes

to win and could very well stun the world at the Derby.

The following horses you should not consider at all are the ones which have the odds 50-1 and these are Black Onyx, Frac Daddy, Falling Sky, Golden Soul, Giant Finish and Fear the Kitten.

In order to make profits from your investment, you should pay more attention to the underdogs at which these are highly likely to show more often in major events such as the Kentucky Derby and pay out high dividends. However, the favourites should be included too.
A good betting option to use is the quartet/superfecta at which you bank any one favourite such as Orb or Verrazano and field the listed underdogs. This can be very pricy but don’t forget that you can scalp some profits by placing fractional bets. Yippee!!!!! J
Another betting option to consider is the swinger bet. You can mingle/mix and match the favourites against the underdogs. This can be very rewarding during this major event and you can even boost this option further by combining the trifecta bet with the swinger bet i.e. there against three, three favorites at the left hand side and three underdogs at the right hand side. Yep, and there you have it, your swinger & trifecta bet combined e.g.  {1-2-3: 4-5-6}.
Good Luck!  and get the winning picks now by calling 1-888-730-2667 and learn how to handicap the 2013 Kentucky Derby for big profits.

Using Class In Horse Racing

Using Class In Horse Racing

For novice, you certainly need to take time to understand the horse racing form before you start
selecting any race that you think will yield a favorable profit towards your investment. For starters,
the first step to take is to understand the various types of horse races available at which this will make
things a bit easy for you to select a race of preference rather than selecting a race at random.

In this guide, I will outline a few tips associated with the various classes in horse racing. Understanding the classes will easily differentiate winners and losers in horse betting. There are various classes available and the quality classes consist of better horses and this is where the money is.

For instance, if the race is marked as an Open race this would mean that all horses in the race have no
restricted conditions at which better horses have a greater chance of winning. The major problem with Open races is that the favorites are more likely to win because a better horse could have been grouped with poor horses or horses that have never won a race before. Hence, the likely hood of judging each individual horse tends to be very tough and these races do not offer high dividends due to the fact that the better horses will always win the race.

However, when looking at other classes such as the maiden handicap and handicap all horses tend to
be very competitive because these have been grouped with other horses that have equal ratings. With
most handicap races, random selection of horses tends to yield good results but it’s not always certain
that the favorites will win. Any horse has the likelihood of winning the race. Hence, if a race is marked

handicap or maiden handicap (horses of similar ratings that have not won a race) there are greater
chances that you can make a fortune from your investment if you make use of a good strategy.

Another popular class is the claiming class at which horses are allocated a weight according to the
claiming price determined by the connectors. The weight plays a pivotal role to three qualities – early
start, peaking form and a drop in class. At times, you may find out that all horses that are winning on
a particular event have something in common dropping in class etc. at which as a beginner you would
need to look at this information each time you consider selecting a race.

It’s not all about looking at the classes but also looking at the history of the entire horse as well as
comparison of the different classes it has raced before.

Selecting A Winning Horse – Comparison of Its Past and Present Performance

In order to selecting a winning, you need to look into several factors concerning that particular race. As a reminder, punters should not be misled by the horses marked as the favorites. Always bear in mind that horses are handicapped and each horse has an equal chance of winning.
Punters always ask this question, ‘should I always base my winning horse according to its previous performance?’

Selecting a horse that has been performing well in its past or present races tends to be a lot tricky. The correct answer to the above question can have a weight of 50% on both sides – yes or no. Comparing horses according to their past performance can give punters a clearer picture on which horses are likely to win. However, on the other hand there are several factors you would need to consider before taking judgment. If you consider selecting your wining horse according to its previous performance then look for a horse that has been consistent not a horse that performs well in a few races or its present races and keeps losing form now and again. Such horses are bad for investment and they will always let you down. But, with such horses there is always room for further analysis.
You may tend to find out that the performance of a horse tends to fluctuate, its either today it performs well or tomorrow it performs dismally.  Now, what you need to do is make a comparison of its good performance against its poor performance. The results you will come up with are that the horse tends to perform well according to certain specific conditions and if it’s to perform badly, the conditions would have moved against it.

For instance, the factors that have effect towards the horse’s performance include, the distance of the racetrack, the conditions of the racetrack, the change of jockey, change of trainer, its weight, total weight of the horse and the jockey, its age as well as other factors.

Some horses tend to perform well over short distances and fail to perform well over long distances due to lack of endurance. Hence, if it was performing well over short distances it is highly likely to perform well on other short distances taking note of the conditions of the racetrack such as muddy, wet, flat etc.
Another setback that can change the performance of a horse is the change of jockey. For instance, if a horse was performing poorly and suddenly changes its jockey, there are chances that it can either improve or become worse. For instance, if the jockey’s weight is lighter than the previous jockey, the horse can improve in its speed because it is now carrying a lighter weight than the previous. Another important factor is how the jockey maneuvers the horse during the race.

The horse’s weight plays a pivotal role when it comes to selecting a winning horse and punters should not be fooled to think that the light weight will always win. Horses that have a mass slightly higher than others tend to have more stamina and endurance when racing over long distances especially when it’s jockey has a lighter mass. If the jockey’s mass is heavy and the horse has more weight than the others, the total mass becomes heavy for the horse to carry and it will certainly not perform well.

Generally, when selecting a winning horse, its best to compare its past and present performance based on the factors that affect its performance. By doing so, you will be able to observe which conditions suit a particular horse at which this becomes easy for you to select your winning horse.   

Kick Ass Strategy for Horse Betting

The KickAss Strategy

In this guide, I will outline a technique that can easily boost your bankroll on any horseracing event.  Horse betting is all about making the money by selecting a horse that you predict will win the race and each horse has an influence on the dividend.
Horse betting is the only sportsbetting activity were wagers cannot pre-calculate their dividend if their outcome is a success. Unlike other sports betting activities, a success in horse betting does not guarantee profits. You may find out that the money you wagered is more than the dividend being paid out at which this results to a loss. However, the gist is you are holding a winning ticket but is it worth a pay check?

Understanding the dividend
Before getting into detail, let me give you a short analysis of how the dividend is calculated. The dividend is given out after the race and it is derived according to the outcome of the horses. On a race form, each horse has odds at which the odds determine the dividend to be paid. Many people tend to think that the dividend is derived from the pool (according to the amount of money wagered on specific horses) at which this is not true. The following factors have influence on the dividend;

• Low Dividend = favorites show as Win, Place and Show
• High Dividend = favorites do  not show
• High Dividend =any one of the favorites show and the rest are underdogs with high odds (the horses that were not expected to win at all)

The point spread in sportsbetting is also used in horsebetting at which the favorites will show low odds that are not attractive to punters while the underdogs/black horses have high odds so as to attract punters. 

How To Construct A Winning Paycheck
From understanding how the dividend is derived, you will notice that each time when favorites show the dividend is very low whereas if the favorites do not show the dividend is high. However, there is a 50% likelihood of any one of the favorites to show at which if you want a guaranteed paycheck you should always include the favorite but is it a high paycheck?
One thing you need to know is that there is a time you certainly need to include the favorites and a time when not to include or be misled by the favorites. If all favorites show, your dividend is very low because these horses were already picked as winning horses at which it is your head start.
From my own point of view as a long term punter, I have observed two things regarding the outcome of the favorites. During major main events, the first two favorites have a 50% chance of showing due to the fact that they are familiar with the race track and they have performed well in the past years running the same event as well as its recent performance in other events.
Now, when looking at favorites for regular events you will find out that the way they are handicapped makes it very difficult to judge their outcome. The favorites are mixed with horses that have not yet ran a track ‘ first run’ or horses that have never come first but have shown as place in other races. Hence, selecting/including such favorites can be very difficult. If you are a regular punter, I guess you have noticed that favorites do not frequently show during regular events. Hence, if you wager on all races of a particular race course during the day and you do not include the favorites, you can score big. 

Implementing The Strategy
From the above, I hope you have understood that favorites have a major influence on the dividend and these results to a low dividend if all of them show. But if any one of the favorites show, the dividend is favorable.  In addition, favorites frequently show during major events and seldom show during regular events. 

Let’s start focusing on the regular horse racing events. Personally, I love wagering on the Singapore horse races mainly the Kranji (running every week Friday & Saturday). My theory and strategy has always been successful, not so quite sure when used on other regular racing events but for the Kranji, I have mastered it from the back and front of my palm. 

The kranji, all its races have a maximum of 14 horses and they never go above. Some are 12 and you may find one or two races with horses less than 11. 

Upon taking the race form, I start off with the first race. If it has 14 horses, I remove the favorites – these are the four horses that have been listed on the race form.The reason for removing the favorites is that they tend to mislead punters. (Some online sportbooks will only list the horses according to the odds at which the horses listed above are usually the favorites if you make use of the filter option to sort the horses. But to avoid confusion, simply contact the helpdesk of the sportbook to request for the horse form download pdf version; this is a must for all punters because it shows detailed information of each particular horse). After removing the favorites, if you look and analyze the odds of each horse you will find out that there are two horses that have the worst odds and their odds are similar or slightly similar. I also remove these two because they are very unlikely to win or show during the race. (The removal of the last two horses with bad odds tends to be debated but the following example will show how the last two horses are removed)
This example will show how to remove the last two horses according to its odds. Since we have removed the first 4 horses (the 4 listed favorites) we will concentrate on the remaining 10 horses at which we are now searching for the last two to be removed.
Suppose the odds show as

Example 1       Example 2

      Odds              Odds

Win         Place        Win         Place

Horse 5   8/1   32/25    Horse 5    7/2   8/10

Horse 6   12/1   19/10    Horse 6    4/1   23/25

Horse 7   14/1   56/25    Horse 7    11/2    5/4

Horse 8   16/1   5/2   Horse 8    7/1           16/10

Horse 9   20/1   32/10    Horse 9    8/1            46/25

Horse 10   25/1   4/1    Horse 10   12/1     69/25

Horse 11  25/1        4/1    Horse 11   16/1         92/25

Horse 12   25/1        4/1    Horse 12    16/1         92/25

Horse 13  75/1   12/1    Horse 13    50/1        23/2

Horse 14  75/1        12/1    Horse 14    66/1    15/1

Analyzing the odds, you can observe that the last two horses have got odds that are way above the rest at which they have been given high odds to make them attractive to punters. However, horses with such odds seldom show in a race and given that anyone shows, the odds are way extremely high.  But if you are to analyses all races per day, you will find out that the last two horses do not show often at which this strategy tends to remove these. Somehow, the handicappers tend to place one or two horses that will be place holders although they are at par with all other horses.
Now looking at the chart, after removing the favorites (4 horses) and the last two horses with bad odds, you will remain with 8 horses and these are the winning horses. After having your 8 horses, if you take a closer look at the odds, the horses that seem to have similar odds i.e. 25/1 can have the ability to win or at least show in a race.
With these 8 horses, you will now have to include the top favorite making it a total of 9 horses. Adding the top favorite gives the benefit of a doubt given that if a favorite is to show it is highly likely to be a top favorite.
According to your budget, the best betting options to include is the swinger bets, trifecta and quartet. These bets should be played with the 8 horses with the exclusion of the top favorite. The swinger bets and the trifecta bets can be a combination of the two as follows,
Example 1: Combination of the trifecta and swinger bets
5, 6, 7|8, 9, 10
5, 6, 7|10, 11, 12
5, 8, 12|7, 10, 9
One thing you need to know is that these bets should be played as multiples of 5 or more. If you have a tight budget the best betting option is the quartet.
With the quartet bet, the top favorite is included and made the banker. This bet can be played as fractional bets if you have a tight budget.
Example 2: Quartet Bet
Banker (Top Favorite)| Field
1|5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

This technique of including a top favorite is applicable for regular events whereas in major events the technique is similar but this time favorites tend to frequently show at which the technique includes two top favorites.
The trifecta and swinger bets adopt a similar concept since you will be just searching for any combination that will grab two horses and trigger the swinger bet making use of the trifecta and swinger combination.
The quartet bet should be played twice for major events will be as follows

1. Banker (Top Favorite)| Field 9 horses including Second Top Favorite
2. Banker (Second Top Favorite)| Field 9 horses including Top Favorite

In order to maximize or realize profits using this strategy, you should make sure that all races are played using the same strategy and it should be consistent.
