If you ask the average horse player how well he or she understands workouts, he or she could say, “Very well. inch While almost everyone who frustrations horse backgrounds knows how to read workout times and understands the numbers, few know how to use that information in a way to essentially figure out which horse is just about to win.

Every day, I see horse players look at two horses with  full form of inb  a 36 second workout for 3 furlongs and figure each horse is equally fit and ready to win. Nothing could be further from the truth. Almost everything in horse racing handicapping is relational and that is especially true of workouts. They are part of a system that the conditioner uses to get his or her horse into the winners circle and the path is often a murky one for many bettors to follow.

It will not surprise you to learn that the trainers, owners, grooms, jockeys, yet others from the backstretch bet on horse backgrounds. They are the insiders and have control over the animals that you are bets on. So just why would they show you how good the horse has a workout when they know you’ll bet it constantly and they won’t get good chances?

The truth is that many trainers don’t bet too much on a horse of theirs, or if they do, they do it freely , nor try to hide the horses form. Then again, there are others who by choice do everything in their power to keep you from wondering that they are about to pull the trigger and go for the win. How else would there be so many long shots and not for favorites that win horse backgrounds?

The favorite in a race usually deserves to be the public’s choice and is the fastest horse in the race. So just why do they only win 30 percent of that time period or even less? The answer is that the chalk is the best looking horse in writing at face value. In other words, if what you are reading holds true, then that horse is the best. But obviously, this is not always the case, so the facts that you’re reading this is not true?

While there are some inaccuracies in the past tasks, most of them are actually pretty accurate. The problem isn’t that you are reading false information, it is that you are not really seeing and understanding what you are reading. Workouts are facts that are recorded by professional clockers. They don’t lie. On the other hand, what does it mean when trainer X works a 3 year old 3 furlongs in 35? What does it mean when the next work for the horse is a 4 furlong in forty nine?

Here is where the 10 % rule is needed and if you don’t know this you’re missing probably the most vital information in horse racing handicapping. Really good horse players know that the time and miles of workouts and the pattern is very important and can tell you who the trainer is by the pattern. They can also tell you when the trainer finally thinks his horse is ready and will go for the win. That is why 90 percent of the people lose and 10 % win.

If you look at workout times and take them at face value , nor really input it all together into a logical pattern and then compare it to everyone other factors, you will remain in the 90 percent who lose and never know why. Some people go to the race track for years, lose constantly, and look at those figures every day and still don’t see what they’re looking at.
