BettingAs with trainers, it is always worth consulting the top jockeys table for each meeting. Certain riders do well at certain small racecourses. Experience with all weather racing, for example, can often prove an asset. Always be on the look out for the he rising star apprentice who can claim 5lb off the allotted weight in a handicap.

Watch out also for top jockeys riding in a handicap at their natural weight. On many courses although the draw maybe of some importance, in sprints it may not be and we do not always need to take it into account but on others its effect is so marked that it is one of the first things we have to consider.

Fortunately the experts in the papers make us fully aware of the hazards, or advantages, of the draw at the tracks where it is important. So you must always give this ample consideration, in fact you should monitor it carefully as changes in the going could alter the effects of the draw from one day to the next on the same course.

This is where the Racing Post really excels; its betting forecast is what many bookmakers on course use to start laying their prices. A comparison of the first show in the betting shops against the Racing Posts forecast can give you an idea of horses that have been supported prior to the opening prices going on the boards.

This is a very important point to watch as you can soon see what is fancied and what isn't. Ideally your horse should be proven over the trip for which you are considering it. A horse staying on strongly at the finish could stay further. Horses that show good pace and then fade probably need a reduction in distance.
Sometimes a horse will get the distance on fast going having previously just failed in testing conditions. A horse may get the trip on today's course, having failed on a more testing track but be wary if the horse is trying a new distance for the very first time.

If you have a serious doubt don't pick it unless you know that it is bred to run well over the new distance because maybe the trainer has been deliberately running the horse over its wrong distance for reasons best known to himself.
