I was interested by the differences in our racing calenders. Is there no winter racing in UK? Weather an issue? We have alot more land here than there so I think the opportunity exists for stamina training but we have to make the effort-think outside the box. There is racing in the UK in the winter...

How do the Irish and the British 2,000 guineas compare? Are there any differences between the races and/or the horses that race in them? Don't think I've ever heard any one call it the British 2000 Guineas, usually the English 2000 Guineas. However, the proper name for the race is simply "2000 guin...

What are the reasons or main differences that that tends to make American GR-1 winners perform sort of sub-par when they race against their European peers at Ascot? Is it true or it is just a false impression? What kind of sample size are you basing this on? The only American G1 winners in recent h...

Every horse at the Olympics is a part TB, as pretty much every bred of sport horse is based on a TB outcross. So talking about part TB at OG is fairly meaningless, unless you qualify it by saying full TB ancestors within a certain number of generations.

The answer is really friggin simple. Every horse in America runs on Lasix because that is what American owners and trainers want. And American owners and trainers (Horsemen's Associations) have a much greater say in how racing is run than their counterparts do in other parts of the world, where raci...

The winner of the American Grand National this weekend is by Definite Article who is line bred 3x3 to Lorenaccio.

you have to keep in mind, wagering is para mutual say me, crystal, diomed and Shammy are sitting in a bar. We decide hey, let's play darts. Diomed says hey let's bet some money on the dart game. Everyone else in the bar decides to get in on the game as well. When it's all said and done, there is 20...

Me, too. I'm wondering specific cases, like how a show payout for the same horse can be more than the place? Because less money was gambled on the horse in the show pool (relative to the total pool) than in the place pool. Likewise sometimes real longshots (40/1, 50/1 etc) have low show payouts, be...

fractions 2/1, 3/1, 5/1 etc... you but down 1$ and if your horse wins you get $2, $3 or $5 in return (plus your original $1 stake). Obviously the payouts in a parimutuel system never come out that neat, so the payout odds are more like 2.75/1 etc etc. Payouts are also generally listed for a $2 bet, ...

sad, but it might be the only drug free horse racing in america.. well atleast for the horse and not the crack head "borrowing" horses.. Hardly. These horses are often cranked up on all kinds of imaginable stuff. I've heard stories of Peyote buds being rubbed on horses hind quarters in parts of Coa...
