The Art of Winning Big Bucks - Consistently - At Your Favorite Thoroughbred Race Track

If you're anything at all like me, you've "played the horses" for years, won from time to time, lost even more frequently and know, that while you have some handicapping skills --- picking winners is still a very tough game. That said, you still love the excitement that comes with "the thrill of victory," even with "the agony of defeat." There is no other sport that gets your blood flowing... keeps you "on your toes"... and, when you're lucky, pays off with cold, hard cash. That's why you're a fan and why you keep coming back in search of "the big score."

Horse Race Handicapping Skills Are Only One Part of The Art of Winning

Surprised to read those words? Perhaps you've always been told - and have always believed - that the essence of "the game" rests in your ability to pick winners. Well... that's true to a point. The fact is that if you read a program and select an odds-on favorite to finish first, you'll cash a ticket, but you will not win much money. And if you bet on short-priced horses all of the time, you will NEVER succeed at horse race handicapping.

The Art of Winning Requires a Combination of Skills

Clearly, in order to cash tickets at the window of your favorite thoroughbred track, you must know how to read a program and select the likely winner of any given race. But, as already noted, your "ability to find and pick short-priced horses" will not enable you to become a big winner. You have to combine that skill with another skill - "the ability to bet wisely."

Clever Wagering and Skillful Handicapping Equal Success for You at Thoroughbred Handicapping.

And that success can - and generally does - lead to significant profits. What is significant? You can regularly use your thoroughbred handicapping skills along with your newly-developed wagering ability to "hit financial home runs" at the race track. Yes... utilization of your handicapping and wagering skills will allow you to find - and bet on - horses that produce Big Cash Returns simply because they go off at odds that tab them as long shots. Remember, in the world of handicapping you can never know too much about the sport, the race or handicapping. Make sure that you are always doing research and expanding your knowledge of the sport and of handicapping. The more knowledgeable you are the better chance you have of winning.

Hot Trainers - Spotting Conditioners That Are Ready To Go On A Winning Streak

Betting on horse races, like all gambling and most other things in life, is streaky. We've all experienced the ups and downs of wagering. It's a roller coaster ride. One week you're ahead and the next week you're down. Horse racing handicapping isn't for the weak hearted or those who cannot keep their eyes on the prize and ignore temporary setbacks.

The fantasy of making a steady income from betting on the races is a nice one, but in reality, grinding out a steady living just doesn't happen for most people. On the other hand, there is hope once you understand the cycles and your own performance.

In any business there are up and down cycles, so why would it be any different in speculating on horse races? It isn't. Since it is cyclical, however, you can prepare for it and even use that knowledge to your advantage. Let's look at how you can start to minimize losses and maximize profits.

First of all, you must look closely at your own betting and understand what you are betting on and why. Do you play more maiden races? Are you a stakes race specialist? Are most of the races that you play for three year olds? Do you follow trainers and jockeys and focus on their horses? Each one of these questions will give valuable clues to your own wagering and what cycle to expect.

For instance, let's say you follow a trainer whose specialty is turf races. Some trainers do better at certain tracks than others. You may follow a conditioner who does great with his or her horses on the lawn at Saratoga, but who is only marginally good at Gulfstream Park. Obviously, you're not going to do great in the winter, but you will probably make up for it in the summer when they are racing at the Spa.

Some trainers who do well with maidens will have a fresh crop that they start at a certain time each year, perhaps in April, but because that conditioner doesn't usually win first time out, he may not produce wins until May or June. When a trainer is on a hot streak, there is a reason that usually is based on his or her favorite or home track, the age of the stock, and training methods. Learn those three things about any trainer and you will start predicting streaks and cashing in on them, too.
