Horseracing: Basic form reading checklist/Betting guide
This is a basic form reading checklist, most of you will already have your own techniques, but hopefully it may help you take some cash from the bookies in the future.
If you are looking up form for a particular race there are a few things to look for first. We recommend making a checklist to use for each race you study, your checklist should have the following questions:
1. Have any of the horses in todays race ran over todays distance`
2. Have any been successful at that distance` of those that have, was it recently`
3. Were any of todays horses in that race`
4. What weight did they carry`
5. When the horse was successful, was it carrying the same jockey on board`
6. Is the trainer on form with his other horses`
7. What was the state of the ground or the going`(in relation to question 5)
8. Are todays conditions the same as then` (in relation to question 5)
9. Are his rivals any better off at the weights and have those horses ran since and improved`
The list could go on and on, but this gives you a rough idea, try to use only the factors that you understand and more importantly use the factors that you believe are important to the outcome of the race.
