Betting Tip 1 – Race Watching


When race watching, always check the 3rd horse in a handicap. This is used as the benchmark for the race by the Official Handicapper, and seldom goes up or down in the weights. So note any that finished close to the winner, but 2L or more ahead of the rest of the field. So if the finishing distances for 1-2-3 were Hd,3L that would be one to note, however 1/2L, 1/2L would not as the 3rd horse finished closer than 2L.
