For example, if you haven’t analyzed the form, it is difficult to predict the outcome of a race.
BRIDGE-JUMPER
When you bet on a BRIDGE-JUMPER horse racing event, you’re likely to get huge payoffs in the long run. This is because the odds of the favored horse not showing up are high. But, if you predict the horse to show, you can still make a big payout. The following are some tips that can help you win big in the BRIDGE-JUMPER.
BULLET
Bulletin is a six-year-old chestnut gelding. He is trained by Todd Pletcher and is owned by a partnership of China Horse Club, WinStar Farm, and SF Racing. The son of City Zip is a multiple stakes winner and has earned $928,870 in career earnings. He is regarded as having above-average ability and has won the Br Cup Juv Sprint. In addition to being a stakes winner, Bulletin has also won two other races and is considered to be a solid racehorse. His most recent victory came when he was ridden by Javier Castellano, who won the Br Cup Juv Sprint.
CALK
A CALK horse race is one of the most popular wagering options at the track. This race is usually comprised of six selections and is won by the horse with the best time in the “bullet work.” The Racing Secretary may also add extra horses into the field and adjust the odds to reflect this fact. A favorite horse’s “bullet work” means that it has worked slow and is prone to interference. A horse with cak shoes has better traction on wet tracks.
SCRATCH
A SCRATCH horse race is a handicapped event in which the number of officially entered horses is greater than the number of places available to begin the event. A horse that is scratched from a race can be placed on the “also eligible” list to make up the field. Knowing the scratch number is one of the most important factors when handicapping a SCRATCH race. Below are some tips on determining the scratch number.
BLOOD WORMS
A common cause of colic in horses is an infestation of Blood Worms. These tiny worms live in the hindgut of horses, where they lay eggs and hatch into larvae. These worms pass out of the horse through its feces. The larvae then move back to the large intestine where they attach to the walls. These worms can cause ulceration, bleeding, and bouts of colic in horses. The eggs of adult worms can remain viable outside the horse for years, but their larvae can cause a horse to become colic-prone.
BOBBLE
A BOBBLE horse race results from the ground breaking away from the winner during the last 100 meters. The jockey uses his arms and hands to urge the horse to catch up with the winner. It is called a hung horse because it was unable to keep up with the winner. The official of the race reviews the situation and flashes an inquiry sign on the tote board. The mare, a female horse five years old, is also known as a chalk horse.
BREAKAGE
For decades, horse racing enthusiasts have debated whether or not to eliminate breakage from horse races. Many horse racing stakeholders argue that breaking the money would lead to more churn in the parimutuel pools, boosting the purse amount. Whether breaking the money makes sense, however, remains to be seen. This article examines the arguments for and against breaking the money from horse races. And it discusses the benefits and disadvantages of breaking the money.
