So you may have heard that favorites win 33% or around that every race. This may sound very good to you and lean you toward the favorite in that race but this also means that they lose 67% of the time. Yes that is right the morning line favorite loses 67% of the time!! So don’t use this in the completely wrong direction but definitely notate who is the favorite of the race.
Now if the horse that is the favorite is the hands down winner of the race then its in the 33% but if not be careful. What I like to do is get to the point where I can visualize the race in my head before it starts and play it out in my mind. That way when the race kicks off you can make your selections based on what is already happened. If you are good in your handicapping when the horse nails the finish line that is what you visualized. Not sure where to fit this in but if you are looking to win in horse racing the best way is to hit a pick 6 or too. That’s it you can break even and go back I forth but if you really want to win in horse racing go after the pick 6 and click on link who wrote the article for more info. That is just a side note. Anyway back to looking at the track as you go through each horse you are looking at the running style. Make a notation on each horse if it’s a front runner a horse who in the past like to take the lead and stay there or if it’s a closer one that comes from behind at the end. Many programs already give you this information. It also might be a stalker who stays a bit off the lead and pounces at the end. By notating each horse you begin to visualize the race.
