When it comes to sports betting on horse racing, handicapping any given race comes down to more than just picking the option with the coolest name, regardless of what your girlfriend tells you. Similar to other sports where there is so much to break down, there is a ton of information available for every race for those that are willing to do their homework, including the key numbers that should always be considered before a Betonline event.

Breaking down a field for a particular event should always begin by taking a quick look at past results, and finding which horses ran well in which events. These numbers usually give some insight in to which surfaces particular horses run their best on, whether it is on the turf, or dirt, as well as the type of horse each entrant is. The pace numbers will show whether a horse is one with good stamina that starts slow but comes on strong at the end, which is of course favorable to longer races, or whether a horse has great starting speed and is strong out of the gate but has trouble with stamina, which is of course favorable to races that cover shorter distances. The pedigree of a horse should always be taken in to consideration as well, with the post-position listings most important when eliminating horses that are opening out of the inside or outside rail positions. There is no shortage of information available for every per head event, so make sure to do your research regardless of what your girlfriend tells you to do.
