5 Of the Most Successful Racehorse Trainers in the UK

A talented racehorse trainer can bring out any horse's potential and give him the best chance at doing well on the track. He or she also makes sure the horses are healthy, sound, and in good condition for racing. In the UK, five of the most successful racehorse trainers are Jonjo O'Neill, Nigel Twiston-Davies, Paul Nicholls, Ferdy Murphy, and Jenny Pitman.

Jonjo O'Neill started his career as a jockey where he won over 900 races. His intimate knowledge of racing strategies has led him to become a very successful racehorse trainer, and since 1986 he has trained countless winners on the track. Recently, Wichita Lineman won at Cheltenham. O'Neill consistently produces good results and has trained over 100 winners in a season multiple times.

Nigel Twiston-Davies specialises in National Hunt racing. He has been a trainer since 1981 and has since trained over 1000 winners including the well known Imperial Commander. He has also trained two Grand National winners, Earth Summit and Bindaree.

Paul Nicholls also specializes in National Hunt racing where he has trained over 1500 winning horses and won four Cheltenham Gold Cups. Since he began training in 1991, he has received the British Jump Racing Champion Trainer award four times. His stables are located in Ditcheat, Somerset, and he is known for being friendly and honest.

Ferdy Murphy is another highly successful racehorse trainer who consistently trains over 60 winners in the National Hunt season. He has been successful at Cheltenham and Aintree and has trained many notable winners including Lantartique, Joes Edge, and New Alco. Murphy is located in North Yorkshire.

Jenny Pitman became the first woman who trained a Grand National winner in 1983. Jenny is now retired, and while she still attends some races, she has also pursued writing novels that often have a racing component. She received the Order of the British Empire for her efforts in horse training, and she has since served as a role model for young women aspiring to be talented racehorse trainers.

All of these trainers know their horses exceptionally well and have a sense of which training methods and regimens are the most effective for each horse. The significant amounts of time that they have spent in the industry ensure that they will quickly train each new horse to race as best it can. New racehorse owners will find that placing their horses with these trainers is a highly worthwhile investment.

If you have a passion for horseracing and wish to have further involvement then a racehorse trainer can provide you with the crucial next step towards racehorse ownership.

The Real Key to Successful Thoroughbred Handicapping

As a seasoned and experienced follower of horse racing, you probably believe you know everything necessary to succeed at thoroughbred handicapping. And if, in fact, you've spent lots of time at your favorite tracks engaged in horse race handicapping, it's likely that you know how to "pick a winner." But, there's more involved in pocketing cash as a result of your thoroughbred handicapping... lots more.

You Have to Know How to Wager if You Want to Win.

There are two distinct and different phases to "playing the horses" that consume the time and energy of every thoroughbred horse racing fan: thoroughbred handicapping and wagering (making the right bet to assure maximum profit). Now, as someone who regularly engages in horse race handicapping, you almost certainly believe that it is the key to your success. And... that's not true.

The Ability to Wager "Smartly" Is Much More Important Than the Ability to "Pick A Winner."

If that sounds like sacrilege, please read on. Most horseplayers - the number is in excess of 90%, devote their energies to thoroughbred handicapping... locating the horse that they - you, as well - think will finish first. Sadly and unfortunately, that kind of thoroughbred handicapping leads almost inevitably to the selection of 'low price winners." And that's simply not a great formula for making money at the track.

Learn How to Wager and Watch Your On-Track and Offsite Profits Soar.

This is not "rocket science," but just a good, common sense plan to combine your thoroughbred handicapping skills - your honed ability at horse race handicapping - with an enhanced knowledge of how to bet to win big in order to "hit handicapping home runs" regularly and consistently every time you spend some time at your favorite race track... even if you wager offsite.

You Have to Know "Who CAN Win The Race"... Not "Who Will Win The Race."

Call it a subtle difference, but upon reflection you will quickly note that the difference is actually profound. That's because knowing who will win inevitably will lead to "short-priced horses" - favorites - and lower returns. But... if you can determine who can win, you will score really big profits.

The Real Key to Betting Success Is A Solid Contender Selection Process.

Any horse player with horse race handicapping skills can pick a low-priced winner. To succeed and cash in big at the window, you need to capture a significant number of high-priced winners, as well. It is the secret to being successful as a horse player... and it's something you can accomplish.

It All Starts With Your Very Own "Sweet Spot."

Once you've developed your Contender Selection Process (it should be easy for you to do), simply determine your "sweet spot," the odds range you need to cash tickets big enough to "fill your pockets with money." Many players have "sweet spots" that start at 9:2 and range as high as 20:1. Your "sweet spot" may be different. The point is this: you will be betting - and winning - on races that lead to significant profits.
