The Top Greatest Horse Racing Purses



No matter how big or small a horse racing event it maybe, all have a purse. The purse is the amount of money given to the owners of the horse at the end of each race and the amount paid out is related to the horses finish. The purse encourages the owners of the horses to perform and create intense competition at the highest levels.

The winning horse is given 60% of the total purse, the second taking 20% and the third winner is paid 10% of the total purse whilst the remaining purse is shared evenly amongst the remaining horses. The purse varies from one race to another. For example, In America, a typical race will have a purse of at least $10,000 whilst some of the top races for the day may have a purse of $30,000 or more.
The purse can be over a million dollars when it comes to the prestigious international horse racing events. For Grade I races, the purses tend to be very high due to the fact the race will comprise of only the best horses in the world.   

The Grade II and Grade III horses are not as outstanding as the Grade I horses but they surely have some great purses.

As a professional punter, if you are seeking for ways to get a favorable return on your investment, you need to focus on a race that offers the highest purse due to the fact that the payouts will be incredibly higher especially when favorites fail. It’s all about betting where the money is and you should keep track of these major events so has to maximize your profits. Placing bets at major events tend to be a lot easier than compared to any other event because information and stats of each horse is readily available with ease. If you are a punter who is good at playing combined bets and grouped bets, selecting good runners would be a lot easier.

Will California Crown win the Triple Crown Series?



Will California Crown win the Triple Crown Series?

Belmont Stakes is the event that will prove the Champ of the Triple Crown Series and all punters are eying on California Crown to claim the title. The professional punters clearly know that it’s going to be a difficult task for California Crown but if it wins the Belmont Stakes it will surely make history.
California Crown did an impressive run claiming the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes and has been slated to race in the 2014 Belmont stakes. Statistics have shown that many horses have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes but failed to win the Belmont Stakes.  This information should be taken into considerations but punters should not give the benefit of a doubt. The last five favorites to win the Triple Crown have been defeated but the chances are great for California to be crowned the champ. I guess 2014 will be a year for Victor Espinoza to make history in Belmont Stakes on the 7th of June 2014.  

If California Crown is victorious in the Belmont Stakes, he will become the first Triple Crown Winner since Affirmed accomplished the feat in 1978. In the Preakness Stakes, California Crown with Jockey, Victor Espinoza came out to win the race from its 3rd position and this proved that the horse can handle any situation due to the fact that it made an early push and held on and this was quite extra ordinary.

The Belmont Stakes race is the longest leg race of the Triple Crown Series and this race will prove if Crown has great endurance to hold on till the last minute of the race. The Preakness Stakes has shown us some interesting results of the three year old colt and if the horse responds with the same results, it will surely win the Triple Crown Series.

According to statistics and history of the Triple Crown, California Crown is surely a favorite horse to bet on but for the horse claiming the championship title tends to be very difficult and at the same time possible. It’s a 50-50 chance and given that the horse makes a good start, it will surely win the race.

The contenders and odds of the Belmont Stakes are as follows;
California Chrome                                            10/13
Candy Boy                                                           12/1
Commanding Curve                                        8/1
Commissioner                                                   12/1
Danza                                                                    9/1
Intense Holiday                                                                12/1
Ride On Curlin                                                   10/1
Samraat                                                               12/1
Social Inclusion                                                  8/1
Tonalist                                                                9/1
Wicked Strong                                                   12/1

Fighting Fifth Hurdle

Situated in Great Britain, horses of the age four and above participate in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle which is a level 1 race. There are 9 hurdles that each horse has to jump over a distance that is ranged 2 miles or 3,219 meters, and this takes place at Newcastle. The race is administered by Northern Racing Ltd and is programmed to begin either late November of early December every year.

This occasion was founded in 1969 and the opening race was taken by Mugatpura. The name is the Fighting Fifth which is the nickname of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers. However, the squad
which was known formally as the 5thRegiment of Fusiliers and that took place the sane year as the race’s launch.

In the 1970’s Bird’s Nest and Comedy of Errors were the two achievers of the Fighting Fifth Hurdle. Basically the Fighting Fifth Hurdle was categorized at level 2 and run as a partial bet in the 1990s. Bellway Homes, Pertemps and Newcastle building society are the past investors and then it was upgraded to level 1 in 2004 and has made it to be the top and first level hurdle race in the season of the British National chase. In 2010 StanJames.com the online sports book took over as the investor of the Fighting Fifth. Stan James aided a number of races that included International Hurdle which was at Cheltenham and the race at Haydock which was the Champion Hurdle Trial.

The main names that you can find in the StanJames.com of THE Fighting Fifth Hurdle are Zarkandar, My Tent and The New gearing for the main event scheduled on the 30th of November 2013. Zarkandar who is trained by Paul Nicholls had only one setback last season and was fourth at the Champion Hurdle and triumphed in passing The New One AT Aintree.

For the first level one hurdle that is to take place in Britain this season, Nicholls has a number of choices with 4 year old Far West. He is renowned to have taken second position last weekend in the Elite Hurdle and Ptit Zig the grade one winner in France. To finish the team of Nicholls is Caid Du Berlais who was second at Down Royal to Jezki.

For the champion Hurdle Nigel Twiston Davies has joined the New One and he is likely to lead to Cheltenham for next month’s International Hurdle. On the other hand, My Tent or Yours was second to Champagne Fever in the Hurdle lead of the Supremes might signify Nicky Henderson. In the Elite Hurdle which was at Wincanton Melodic Rendezvous has the race as a marked just like Cockeny Sparrow mare to John Quinn.

However, she managed to stand the ground and John Quinn has the view that in terms of speed she s spot on and thus entering her at Newcastle in the Fighting Fifth is not an option just as long the track is perfect for her. As a mare she is great and has attitude that is perfect and has awesome speed. regiment and three others came together to come up with Royal.
