Horse racing is synonymous with betting. Many people bet purely for the fun of it; looking at the name of the horse, the name of the jockey, or even obtuse ideas such as the birthday of the jockey. Some people take the betting on races a lot more seriously though, and many earn a living doing it. The top tipsters often have a horse betting system they follow religiously.
Here are some of the essential things you should consider if you want to create a successful horse racing betting system:
Distance
The distance when referred to horse racing is how far the horses have to run in order to reach the finishing line. The distance is a crucial factor that you have to weigh up before you pick out the horse that you will lay a bet on. Horses are no different to people. Some are blessed with great stamina and can run for miles and miles. Some have great speed, but can only keep the speed up for short distances. Each horse will have a preferred distance, and it will be your job to know what a particular horse's favoured distance is. before laying a bet on it.
Number of Runners
The number of runners in a race is also a very important element to consider when betting. A horse’s chance of winning is significantly influenced by the number of contenders in a race. If the field is big, then there is more risk of either accidental contact or blocking of a path through the field. It is more difficult to choose which horse will do well in the race where there are so a lot of runners in a race.
The Ground
Another important thing that you should take into consideration when betting on a horse is the kind of ground in which the horse will run. The ground could be referred to a good, soft, heavy, firm or combinations of the above. As with distance, horses will have preferences as to the type of going that they run on, and again it is your job as a betting expert to know this. Checking previous form can often give you a clue because a horses successes will have been recorded as well as the type of ground the success were on.
When the Last Race was Run
You need to be aware of a horses training schedule. A horse in the early part of it's season, may be put out to run in a warm up race. You wouldn't be surprised to know that this type of race would be a bad one to select to try and pick a horse as a winner. It would be better to find their schedule and see if you can discover what the trainer's aim for that horse is.
Getting Help From The Racing Papers
The racing papers are a mine of information for the budding horse race betting strategist. Each horse will have its racing record laid bare before you. You will be able to assess if the horse is a course winner, a distance winner or a combination of both. The better racing papers may also give you an indication of the horses distance and going preferences as well. Each of these will help you narrow your search for a race winner.

When to Bet on the Favorite in a Horse Race
By: Bill Peterson | 17/12/2009The favorite in a horse race is the horse with the most money wagered on it to win, therefore, the horse with the lowest odds.
