Winning at Horse Racing - Easier said than done the Races Analysis, or we’d all be rich and the bookies would all be bankrupt. There are obviously many factors to take into account when picking a potential winner from a field of horses Races Analysis: form, pedigree, trainer, jockey, whether the ground is suited to that horse, whether they like the current weather conditions, what weight they are given in a handicap, whether their odds have moved significantly… among many others.

Today horse racing racing is one of the oldest of all sports, and its basic concept has undergone virtually no change over the centuries. It developed from a primitive contest of speed or stamina between two horses into a spectacle involving large fields of runners, sophisticated electronic monitoring equipment, and immense sums of money, but its essential feature has always been the same: the horse that finishes first is the winner. In the modern era, horse racing developed from a diversion of the leisure class into a huge public-entertainment business. By the first decades of the 21st century, however, the sport’s popularity had shrunk considerably. Today's Horse racing in the form we know today really began in the 17th century when King James I took a fancy to horse racing and the “Sport of Kings” was born, quickly becoming popular with the English aristocracy.

There are 60 licensed racecourses in Great Britain and a further two in Northern Ireland. These include: Aintree, Ascot, Ayr, Bangor, Bath, Beverley, Brighton, Carlisle, Cartmel, Catterick, Chelmsford City, Cheltenham, Chepstow, Cheste, Doncaster, Down Royal, Downpatrick, Epsom Downs, Exeter, Fakenham, Ffos Las, Folkestone (Temporarily Closed) Fontwell Park, Goodwood, Great Yarmouth, Hamilton Park, Haydock Park, Hereford, Hexham, Huntingdon, Kelso, Kempton Park, Leicester, Lingfield Park, Ludlow, Market Rasen, Musselburgh, Newbury, Newcastle, Newmarket, Newton Abbot, Nottingham, Perth, Plumpton, Pontefract, Redcar, Ripon, Salisbury, Sandown Park, Sedgefield, Southwell, Stratford Upon Avon, Taunton, Thirsk, Towcester, Uttoxeter, Warwick, Wetherby, Wincanton, Windsor, Wolverhampton, Worcester, York.

Horse racing has not been immune to the COVID-19 crisis. The majority of tracks in the US were shut down, including renowned racetracks like Churchill Downs, Santa Anita and Belmont Park. As they reopened in mid-May and June for Belmont Park and the Belmont Stakes, fans have been able to enjoy watching and wagering on horse racing.

That included the added prep series races for the Kentucky Derbythat concluded on Sept. 5 with Authentic (8/1) winning wire-to-wire over the prohibitive favorite Tiz the Law (3/5).

More interest in racing has continued at smaller tracks. Kentucky Downs completed it’s short six-day, $10+ million meet in September and Churchill Downs has resumed racing following the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby. The final leg of the 2020 Triple Crown is Oct. 3 at Pimlico for the Preakness Stakes on Oct. 3.

Major venues at Saratoga and Del Mar concluded their summer meets on Labor Day. But Belmont Park (Sept. 18 – Nov. 1) and Santa Anita (Sept. 25 – Oct. 25) continue their fall meets through October. The Belmont fall meet will include 22 graded stakes races and seven “Win and You’re In” qualifiers to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships to be held Nov. 6-7 at Keeneland. Santa Anita has six Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series races on Sept. 26-27. Keeneland will run nine Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” events during its fall meet Oct. 2-24 ahead of hosting the Breeders’ Cup Nov. 6-7.

Open horse racing tracks in the US today

Belmont Park (Thursday – Sunday)

Historic Belmont Park opened in 1905 and is located 14 miles East of New York in Elmont, NY. The track hosts some of the finest events in North American horse racing including the Belmont Stakes, which was the first leg of the 2020 Triple Crown for the first time ever June 20.

The 27-day Belmont Fall Meet runs from Sept. 18 through Nov. 1 and features seven “Win and You’re In” Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series races with five of them on Saturday, Oct. 11. A total 38 stakes worth $5.58 million in purse money will be run during the fall meet.

Belmont Park is one of three race tracks on the NYRA racing circuit. The track reopened for racing June 3 during the Covid-19 health crisis with no spectators allowed and strict protocols in place by the New York Racing Association and state health officials.

Belmont’s main track is known as “Big Sandy” among fans and features a long stretch to the finish line. It’s comprised of a 1 1/2 mile dirt oval – the longest dirt Thoroughbred track in North America. The main track features a Widener Turf Course which surrounds an Inner Turf course with sharper turns and longer distance races.

Thanks to the chutes and their straight away expansions to the ovals, the Belmont Park tracks also feature varying race distances. These chutes allow the running of longer distance races with horses going round in one turn, which was the case for the shortened 1 1/8 mile Belmont Stakes in 2020. This single turn ensures balance and reduces the chances of a horse being forced outside to run for much longer.

The New York Islanders (NHL) will open Belmont Arena in 2021 next to Belmont Park with sports betting and horse racing drawing more fans as legalization gains traction in New York.

Gulfstream Park (Thursday – Sunday)

Gulfstream Park is located in Hallandale Beach Florida, 17 miles North of Miami. Live Thoroughbred racing takes place at Gulfstream Park from Thursday through Sunday during the Spring-Summer meet which runs April through September. Premium stakes days are on four Saturdays – Aug. 1 and 29, and Sept. 5 and 26. The race schedule consists of 10-12 races that include Claiming, Maiden, Allowance Optional Claiming and Stakes races with purses mostly less than $40,000. The majority of field sizes are 8-12 horses and first post time is 12:45 p.m. ET.

The Championship Meet starts in late November and runs through March with racing Wednesday through Sunday. Nearly 40 graded stakes make the Championship Meet one of the best in the country headlined by the Pegasus World Cup at the end of January and the Florida Derby on the final weekend of March. Track announcer Pete Aiello is one of the best in racing.

Gulfstream Park, led by the powerful Stronach Group, took a stand to continue horse racing during the COVID-19 health crisis despite an executive order from Broward County to close all non-essential businesses. The racing facility is closed to spectators during COVID-19 until further notice. However, there is a free live stream at the Gulfstream Park website and TVG.

Santa Anita Park, knows as The Great Race Place, is recognized as one of the country’s premier racetracks.
