International Horse Racing
By: Richard Bleuze
Horse racing betting is no longer restricted to your local race card or even to horse racing in the country where you live. Thanks to online betting that either links your wagers to international pari-mutuel pools or pays out according to those odds, you can now bet on the world's biggest and most exciting horse races.
If you live in Great Britain and want to bet on the Kentucky Derby you're only a couple of clicks away from international horse racing betting. Meanwhile horse racing bettors in the USA can now bet on the latest races at the The Grand National in Great Britain thanks to online wagering.
Below are what I believe are the most famous international horse races. I often recommend Go Horse Betting since they offer many international horse tracks for online betting. I have stringent criteria that must be satisfied by offshore sports books and racebooks, not least of which is total peace of mind regarding your funds when you bet on the world's best horse races.
International horse racing is a global goldmine of opportunity for shrewd horse racing handicappers.
International horse racing - the major races:
The Grand National is the most famous and popular national hunt horse race. It takes place in the UK and is the largest betting race in the UK.
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is the most important European race of the year and is arguably the world's greatest turf race in terms of the general quality of the field. It is held at Longchamp in October and is the culmination of the flat season. This horse race is held in France, of course (can't you tell by the name?)
Australia's main race meeting of the yearis The Melbourne Cup, which is run at the awesome Flemington racecourse that can accomodate over 100 000 people. Its the biggest Aussie horse racing betting event of the year.
The final major international horse race would be considered The Dubai World Cup. It is the world's richest horse race with an enormous purse of $6 million. The first Dubai World Cup was run in 1996 and won by Cigar, and since then the race has attracted the world's best flat racehorses.
