How To Handicap Maiden Races
A maiden race is a form of a horse racing sports betting wager, in which you attempt to predict which horse will win its first ever race. When a young horse no matter their gender wins their first race, it is called breaking their maiden. For the reason that every horse in a maiden race, has never actually won a bookie software wager, it makes it kind of difficult to handicap. Today, we’ll look at how to handicap maiden races.
When determining which horse to pick in a maiden race, one thing we like to look at is the horse’s pedigree. The pedigree is a racing jargon term, which is used to depict, who the horse’s parents were. In theory, the horse’s pedigree can reflect how they will fare in the race, since they have the genes. For example, if a horse such as Stay Thirsty was breaking its maiden, the first thing you’d look at, is who Stay Thirsty’s sire (father) was. Stay Thirsty was sired by Bernardini, the winner of the 2006 Preakness, and a sire champion, who was sired by AP Indy, one of the most successful horses in racing history.
NHL fans looking for an edge, can quickly see, that if a horse breaking their maiden, has strong bloodlines, then that horse should in theory have some success as well. As we mentioned above, Stay Thirsty is the son of Bernardini and the grandson of AP Indy. In theory, a horse facing Stay Thirsty, with a less than impressive pedigree, would give bettors the indication, that Stay Thirsty is a good horse to wager upon. As well, a horse with good bloodlines, but high odds, could in fact provide you the bettor with excellent value at the betting window.
A Horse Betting Guide For New Bettors
Horse racing is one of the oldest sports betting areas in the gambling industry. Literally, since man figured out how to ride a horse, another man has been betting on the horse to win a race. If you are looking to try your hand at wagering on the NFL, you should consider horse betting first, as the two sports are a lot closer then you may believe.
In both the NFL and horse racing, the bettor has the option of making one of two types of wagers, a straight or exotic bet. On a straight bet in both horse racing and the NFL, your bet is contingent on the success of one party winning an event outright or according to a number. Conversely, on the exotic wager, your goal is to make a profit off of multiple parties either within the same race or on multiple races. Here is an example of both a straight and exotic bet on the bookie software horse racing circuit.
Win – In a win bet, as the name suggests, your goal is to pick the horse that you believe will finish in first place after the race concludes. If your horse finishes in first place, you win your wager. However, if your horse finishes in second or worse, you lose your wager.
Trifecta – In a trifecta, the bettor is picking three horses to finish in first, second and third in the upcoming race. For you to win your bet, your three horses must come in the exact order you predicted when you placed the bet. If the three horses finish out of sync, then you will lose your bet. Meaning to say, if your three horses finish in reverse order from your prediction, you stand to lose your bet.
Breeders Cup Turf Far And Away The Best Race Of The Season
It has been just over a month since the Breeders Cup took top priority on the majority of bookie software websites. The two-day tournament to distinguish the top thoroughbreds across the world was highlighted by the Breeders Cup Turf race, won by 18-year-old six foot four jockey Joseph O’Brian and St. Nicholas Abbey. While the Breeders Cup sports betting tournament always ends with the Classic, many people, we included are wondering if the Breeders Cup Turf has surpassed it in popularity.
The Breeders Cup Turf is usually held at four pm on the second day of the Breeders Cup tournament. In general, the race is meant to kick off the final stretch of races for the day, as most of the top NFL bettors begin to wager on the remaining colts and mares on the event’s card. For all intents and purposes, the Breeders Cup Turf has become a European race, as the majority of colts and jockeys in the event are from Europe. As we indicated earlier, this year’s race had an extra special appeal, as the winning jockey was not only 18 years old, but exactly a foot taller then the rest of his competition.
Historically speaking, it is rare that a tall jockey ever ride in a race, let alone one of the biggest races in the history of horse racing. However, as luck would have it, Joseph O’Brian was the son of famed trainer Aidan O’Brian, thus allowing him to qualify for the race as the jockey of record for St. Nicholas Abbey.
Entering the race, not much was expected of St. Nicholas Abbey, as the colt had been run sparingly since his sophomore season. With this in mind, the near five lengths victory over the rest of the field was an absolute shock for all involved.
