There can be no great success in betting the races without great commitment, hard work, due diligence, discipline, and realization of the "right type of thinking". It is our attitude, beliefs, and the best way to do anything ourselves is to learn something about it first.

Without knowledge of complex it is insane for us to embark on it. Everyone is an athlete. The only difference is that some of us are in training and some are not. Do think about it!

Prior embarking on this game we must first have the sense of what an athlete or an athlete in motion should look like and behave like. If we never watched or played sports in our life it might be difficult. Our mind at least notice the great athletes and the injured one and we should have a good look and see who is sickly. There is something to check for before we think we have found a great athlete whether or not that are actually physically talented or it is a flaw.



In all of horse racing there is only one disputable truth. That is the outcome of every race is uncertain and could never have been anticipated.



We are not being forced to be someone audience to their opinion. listening to someone opinion means that we have to decide or change our opinion, it is eithrt we will do something great or they are sincerely wrong.



The odds are complied by mere human beings and can be affected by weight of money from like minded individuals. Never let a price affect our selections process as we have already decided it is the winner. Don't let the price bother us. Just choose the horse we think will do the business. Prices don't really count. After all the horse does not know what price he has been offered at.



It is first hand info that we heard directly ourselves or was it the majority of it from a friend of a friend.



Genuine information is very rare as a rocking horse manure.



Take our time don't rush things by trying to win a lot of cash in a short space of time. We need a lot of luck to win a quick buck.



Whatever one uses, it is how data is interpreted.



We can make money on just about anything, as long as we correctly interpret the right information.



The horse conditions has more to do with winning or losing a race than the weight he carries. A horse in poor condition cannot beat one of his class. A high class horse cannot win a race with feather on his back if he is not in condition.



Fast and fit horses always win.


The unknown factors that can influence the outcome of the race are the form of the horse on the day of the race and the luck in running during the race. All sportsmen know the importance of the form on the day, if the sportsmen can have an off-day, so can the horse. We can't foresee the factor of luck during the race, so we can only trust that the jockey will do his best, although the run-style and effect of the draw can be very significant.


Handicapping is an a challenge. Betting is an art and Money Management is a chore.

There are no holy grail of finding a winner and will never be one, none whatsoever but there are simply one or two of many possible tools that can be used in conjunction with others. This game is a game of chance and it can only be well figured out to a certain extent. IMHO it is only through serious critical thinking, hard work, due diligence and discipline combine with patience and consistency. And through logic, observation and evidence we can win and stay ahead.
