If you’re looking to bet on a horse race, you should know the basics of the different types of races. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of races: BREEZE, BRIDGE-JUMPER, BULLET, and WORK. Keeping these four types of races in mind will help you make the best bet possible. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at each of these.
BREEZE
While the term “breeze” is often used to describe a horse’s workout between races, it actually has different meanings depending on where the race is run. At a western track, clockers use the term to describe a horse that works out without any encouragement from the rider. The term is typically only used to describe a fraction of workouts, since most workouts are categorized as “handily.”
BRIDGE-JUMPER
When you bet on a BRIDGE-JUMPER horse racing race, you are essentially betting on the favorite. The heavy favorite is the best bet for many reasons, including a large payoff. On the other hand, you can also make a large payout by betting on the other horses to show. Here are some strategies to follow when betting on a BRIDGE-JUMPER race:
BULLET
If you’re a horse racing fan, you can download a free horse race bulletin online. There are a variety of ways to obtain these bulletins, including day, week, and monthly, and you can subscribe to one of these services to keep track of your favourite racehorses. In addition, you can request for a specific race bulletin by entering your city or state. If you prefer to be notified immediately, you can also subscribe to a news service that delivers horse race bulletins daily.
WORK
The WORK of a horse race is a huge, complex and varied industry, with a number of roles available to suit different talents and interests. The horse race takes place every week on local and global stages, and involves massive coordination efforts. If you enjoy the thrill of horse racing and love the variety and diversity of the industry, you should consider a career in this field. Here are just a few of the jobs you can apply for in the industry.
PARIMUTUEL
When you place a bet on a parimutuel horse race, you’re not betting against the house, but rather against the collective bets of all the people who are betting on a race. You’re rewarded for taking a risk on an unlikely horse, because parimutuel odds reflect expectations of the betting public. As post time approaches, the parimutuel market closes, and bettors become especially aware of the effects of others on odds.
PADDOCK
The PADDOCK horse race is an Irish tradition. The horses are paraded in front of the crowd before the race and fans line up to watch the process. The paddock is also a staging area for the horses, where owners and jockeys check the horse’s equipment and discuss their tactics before the race. The paddock has been in place for nearly a century and is regarded as the hub of racing activity.
RIDDEN OUT
The RIDDEN OUT horse race is a mile-long race that is contested by horses without whipping. The winner will display undescended testes and a white-red coat. Other characteristics of a ridden out horse include a roaring cough and roaning coat. The route (race distance) is also one mile-long. The router horse is considered a quality performer over this distance.
