Introduction to Horseracing

At a glance, a group of horses race over a set distance and the fastest one wins. There are, however, a few other factors to take into account: horses’ characters vary greatly on a given day, the tactics employed by the jockeys, differing ground conditions, the track itself and good old-fashioned bad luck. Combine these and what you have is a spectacle that is far from predictable. That’s what makes racing so exhilarating, so Glorious.


Spotting a Good Horse

There is no real rule to what makes one horse faster than another, sadly, so spotting a nice ‘type’ in the paddock is far from straightforward. But choosing a horse with a bright eye, shiny coat, pep in his step and a calm demeanour is definitely a good start.

Jockeys

Jockeys must ensure that they can be a given weight when they ride in a race. For example, if a horse carries 9st 3lbs, the jockey must be able to stand on the scales before the race with the saddle, wearing full kit and colours and be that exact weight. This works hand in hand with spotting a good horse. Once you've collated everything, you can head over and place your bet on your 'preferred' horse for each race.

Picking a Winner

A day at the races wouldn't be complete without having a bet on the horses but picking a winner is never easy - unless you happen to be very lucky. We've compiled a brief guide to help you to, hopefully, have a profitable day and leave the course with that winning feeling.
