How To Win
Continued...
For example the trainer may like the racecourse layout,
friendly staff or it’s a local course.
Other reasons they do well maybe it suits the type of horses
they have or one of there big owners likes the course. What ever
the reasons for their success you could share by finding top
trainers.
Just as important as the trainer is of course the jockey and
finding a good list of top jockeys can help you on your way. The
success of top jockeys at a racecourse can be for a number of
reasons including local course, riding style or friendly banter
in the changing room. All there can be reason why a jockey does
well at one course and not so well at another.
Take the jockeys riding style for example. He/she may like to
come with a late run and snatch the race on the line. This maybe
fine on a wide straight course but imagine holding a horse up
for a late run at Chester. I suspect they would find one or two
traffic problems trying to weave their mount through a wall of
horses on the tight bends of Chester.
Another way to improve our chances is to find horses that are
suited to a particularly racecourse. We have all heard the
saying “horses for courses†but how often do we look for the top
horses at the racecourse. Horses can run well at certain
racecourses for a number of reasons including trainers likes the
course or the layout suits the horses style of running.
