Picking Winners By Reading The Form
By: Richard Bleuze
The most basic information supplied at any horseracing track in the world will be all the horse's form. The form is simply the result of the 3 to 4 races the horse ran.
For Example: 0X624 SlimPickens
The horse SlimPickens above came fourth at its last race, second at its second last race, sixth at its third last race, had a break from racing (as indicated by X) and came either 10 or above just before it took the break.
The Codes Explained, Briefly:
Read the numbers and letters from right to left, with the first number or letter on the right being the result of the latest race and second number or letter on right being the result of the second most recent race, etc...
X - Means 'Spell' and simply means the horse took a break from racing
O - Means the horse came 10 or above in the race
F - Means the jockey fell in the race
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 & 9 - Represents the position the horse finished the race
How to use the form now that you can read it:
Now that we know how to read form, let's plunge into discovering how it can make you a winner at the horse track.
First, look for horses that are peaking with form. We do this by glancing through the latest three starts a horse has had.
Here's what we are looking for:
(a) The horse must have come second and third in its last two starts therefore the last two form should look like this:
32 Horse's name
(b) For its third last start the horse must have come either 4,5,6,7,8 or 9. We don't care what it came for its fourth start and onwards.
(c) So we are looking for horses that have their last three starts looking like this:
432 or 532 or 632 or 732 or 832 or 932
Horses with the above form are simply peaking and will run very well. However, there are many other variables that affect the outcome of a race. Thus, do not expect to win or place every time.
If you were to use only form to select winners, this is
exactly what you'd look for in picking a winner. In fact, if you glance through any form guide, you'll see a number of horses with form that's 321.
These horses have already peaked and won but now will face tougher competition because of the recent win. This is why you have to get them just before they win. That is why the last two digits of the form should be 32.
I recommend you use the same amount to bet for a win and place so you collect something if the horse comes in first, second or third.
Why not try the above by betting at your favorite horse track?

Horse race betting does not have to be a gamble. Contrary to popular opinion, betting the horses is a far better “investment than the stock market. In horse racing you are betting against other bettors. And the average bettor is not a sophisticated bettor, whereas in the stock market, you are playing against the best minds. Gambling means betting with your emotions, or intuition. But by taking a statistical, systematic approach to betting horses you can and will win consistently.
During the past 25 years, I have seen lots of horse bettors fall by the wayside. Why? Because they did not use systematic approach to horse betting. Instead, they bet with their emotions. If you apply statistics to horse betting, it is impossible to fail. Statistics do not change over time. Statistics that have held true in horse betting for decades will continue to be valid.
Horse betting has been around since ancient times. But today's horse betting only evolved in the middle of the 20th century with the advent of pari-mutuel horse betting. This is where the racetrack takes a fee and redistributes the money left to the winning bettors.
One of the biggest drawbacks to horse race betting was that you had to go to the racetrack to wager. That meant taking the entire day to place a bet. And it meant limiting yourself to whatever good wagers there were that day; even if there were better bets elsewhere. Now, with the advent of Internet, online wagering, you can bet horses from anywhere you can take a laptop into a “wired” environment. Online horse betting frees you to bet whenever and where ever you are and have time.
Betting the horses can enable you to ensure your future. With companies laying off employees every day, there is no such thing as a job for life anymore. Betting the horse can mean being in control of your own density, and not leave your fate to the hands of an impersonal corporation. With the advent of Internet wagering, you can bet any racetrack in the country without giving up your primary job or spending years starting your own business – which require an average of 60 hours per week. Horse race betting can provide a consistent return – something you can count on and depend upon. There are many free horse race betting systems, but you get what you pay for. To win at he races requires patience because there is not a good bet each and every day, and it requires consistency that comes from a racetrack betting system based on statistics.
There is only one racetrack betting system out there that is based on irrefutable statistics accumulated over thirty years and that is, “A Ph.D. shows you how to beat the races.”
Betting unemotionally, and following a proven racetrack betting strategy, you will gain financial independence.
