Horse racing partnerships are a fantastic way for horse racing enthusiasts to participate in the highest levels of horse racing.

Led by Eclipse Award winners Lookin At Lucky and She Be Wild, a total of 366 horses have been made early nominees to the three Triple Crown races, it was announced late Saturday night by the Triple Crown racetracks, Churchill Downs, Pimlico, and Belmont Park.

Inside the arena is one of the most difficult moments at a competition for both the rider and the horse. The time immediately before entering the arena is the most crucial. You hope that the horse has worked is ready to do its best. But it is very easy for the horse to switch off between the warming-up area and the competition arena. You have to be alert with particularly young or inexperienced horses and ponies.

The Pennsylvania Horse Racing Betting Commission has ejected owner Michael Gill from racing at Penn National Race Course, claiming his participation would disrupt the orderly conduct of racing at the track. Gill was notified late Tuesday afternoon by the commission that his horses will no longer be permitted to race at Penn National, located in Grantville, Pa., although Gill said from New Hampshire that he understood the ruling to mean his horses will still be permitted to race at Philadelphia

Dressage is the fastest growing equestrian activity today. It covers training the rider, training the horse and preparing for dressage competitions. Classical riding and training methods have survived for hundreds of years, largely passed down by word of mouth. These techniques have been proven to do the greatest good for the greatest number of horses. It is all about the gradual, systematic and gymnastic development of the horse.

Whenever you speak about a horse betting technique, you're essentially referring to a system that helps you establish the possible winners of a race based on facts and certain criteria.

William C. Schettine’s Grade 3-placed winner Piscitelli will be sidelined for at least 90 days after sustaining a leg injury in the Holy Bull Stakes (G3) on January 23 at Gulfstream Park. Trainer Richard Sacco said the three-year-old Victory Gallop colt will be out of training from February through April, which would eliminate him from consideration for this year’s Triple Crown Horse Racing.

Spending the day at the TAB may be fun but now you can watch horse races online as well. If you'd like to give it a go here are three sites you might like to take a look at.

If you are serious about handicapping horse races and making money, then you should know the truth about money management. The truth is that becoming a great handicapper is not enough to make a profit wagering on horse races. I don't care if you are the greatest handicapper that ever lived, it will still be difficult to have a positive return on investment (ROI) unless you are also a good money manager.

You may have noticed, in the hundreds of articles I have written over the years, that I advocate keeping your own notes if you are serious about winning money betting on horses. If you could see my office you would realize that I practice what I preach. Not only do I keep notes on my laptop, but also on my notebook and even good old hard copies written in my own chicken scratching, scrawled, handwriting.

If you are one of the many people trying to make money by handicapping horse races, you know just how hard it is to make a profit. One of the reasons is the nature of horseracing itself. It is just a very unpredictable sport because there are so many variables. As if that wasn't enough there is also the greed factor.

Ever ask yourself why horse racing systems are so popular? I mean does anyone really sell a system for beating the races? Is it possible to buy a written method for beating the races and if so, why would anyone sell it?

Finding a hidden long shot that wins at a good price is one of the great thrills for a handicapper. But there is usually a good reason for a horse going off at long odds so if you chase long shots, you're bound to go broke real fast.

Do you wish you had an angle that actually made a profit when you bet on horse races? Everyone is looking for an easy to spot angle that will make money and won't be bet down to ridiculous odds. The problem is, that once someone discovers a factor that points to lots of winners, the crowd soon finds out and you just can't make a profit from it.

Some people think picking winners and making a profit betting on horse races are the same thing. But to a true professional horse player, those two activities are related, but not the same. While you have one group who will handicap a horse race and then bet the horse that they think is the best to win or perhaps in exotics, other will assign odds to each horse in the race and then work with that line.

Horse racing, like any human activity that involves money and risk, is sometimes a crooked game. In my opinion, after 50 years at the races as everything from a groom to an owner, most races are not fixed and the people who work at the race track are usually pretty honest. On the other hand, there is occasionally a fixed race.
