We all want to know the secret to picking winners but its never that easy as we are trying to pick the right horse running the fastest across a piece of grass, in the hope he/she gets there first.
I find the biggest mistake most of us make is that we read the brief comments about the horse inthe racing paper on the wall and often pick one of the two or three selection in bold made by the newspaper.Do you think the bookmakers would put these papers up on the wall if the selections came up a lot.The true experts are the odds compilers who make the prices for the race as they take everything into consideration.
They may believe the some rain (change of going) might decrease a horses chance of winning a race may then mean your horse is underestimated and you can increase your winnings.You have to consider the horses weight, the course(has it ran well/won there before) Has the stable booked a good jockey? or a claiming jockey to bring the weight down?What is the bloodline? remember to look at both parents!
The way we can win money is when they make a mistake and give a price where we can get a horse above 5-1 to bet each way or if even the favourite price of say 15/8 is to generous.
I have had much more success and gained more confidence since factoring the important things into my selections and have reduced losing bets due to selections being bet each way.
Good Luck and remember pick your own horses not always the ones in bold.....GOOD LUCK
