How to Spot the Winning Horse Everytime!
Paddock watching is an excellent way of helping to pick out a winner.
You have a huge advantage over the people in the betting shops as you
can view the runners up close. Discover now how the professionals judge
a horse's appearance to help confirm the winner.
Step One
If paddock watching is something new to you, I would suggest that you
start by choosing races where there are only a few runners say a maximum
of seven. This is because you will need patience and concentration to
stand next to the paddock carefully examining each of the runners.
You should also look towards the best race on a days card. If there are
only a handful of runners, you'll be in business. As it's the big race,
all entrants will be fit giving you the experience of knowing exactly
what a fit horse looks like. As you become more experienced, you can dabble
in the bigger races with larger fields as spotting the fitter animals
will be easier.
Step Two
Sweat is a factor of consideration by the professionals. Alike humans,
horses will sweat either when they are very fit or very unfit although
a fit horse will sweat less as a rule. A small build up of sweat on a
horse's coat is a good sign. This means the horse is keen and ready to
race. A light ring of sweat between a horse's back legs is also a good
sign of keenness. A heavy build up however is not.
Watch out for horse's working themselves into a sweat shortly before
a race. This will be through being nervous or just silly acts of exertion.
Avoid these horse's as they won't do themselves justice. Also, you might
get an ok view if the horses on the TV but if your down at the track take
along a pair of binoculars.
Step Three
A horse's muscular definition is another important factor and there are
three main areas to look at.
Firstly, look at the hind quarters. (The section behind the saddle) Look
for a sharply defined line from a point about a quarter of the way down
the rump through to the top of the rear legs. This line is a very good
indicator of a horse's condition. The sharper the line, the fitter the
horse.
The second area to look is the belly. Look for an indication of rib cage.
Not too much as this could indicate under-nourishment. A little amount
of rib cage indicates a low fat fit horse.
Thirdly, look towards the horses chest, especially the section above
their forelegs. A chest that is well defined means good fitness.
Step Four
The condition of the horse's coat is another factor to consider. A glossy,
shiny coat is an indicator of fitness whilst a dull one is not. It is
important to realise though that dismissing an animal because it has a
dull coat would be wrong as naturally shiny coats are rare.
Step Five
Look to judge the horse's overall behaviour and appearance. A horse that
walks around (going through the motions) with its head held low will probably
not run well. In contrast, a horse that has a spring in its step and head
up looking keen is likely to run well.
To Conclude
Whilst a horse's appearance is a factor in determining selection, you
must use this knowledge alongside other criteria like a horse's recent
form, its going preferences and its odds. Couple this knowledge with a
GGS approved racing system and you'll be well on your way to becoming
a pro!
