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 successfull 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 successfull, 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.

Also may be worth avoiding big fields where possible. I prefer eight or nine runners. Ideally you want the regular jockey on board and some sort of recent success.

Go for as higher class race as is on offer for that day, as the better the class, the more consistent they are likely to be.

Handicaps are a nightmare to try and work form out on unless you pick up on one that has just won its first comfortably and you can follow till it loses.

If a selection runs well but doesn't win, dont give up on it, consider following it again, especially if it keeps the same pilot. And finally once you have chosen your pick, watch the markets to see if you are not alone in your choice. Hope that helps a little & Good luck
