Horse Racing Betting Myths

Horse racing betting myth:
Don't bet on horses dropping back in distance
.

The "betting rules" that many punters accept are just betting myths that help them lose money betting on horse racing.

Statistically there is next to no difference between the strike rate of horses going up in distance as opposed to coming back.

Making general assumptions about any aspect of racing results in punters not backing good winners. Many punters lose because of the fixed rules they have in their heads that influence their form analysis and betting decisions.

Every race needs to be treated in isolation. Each horse has its own peculiarities and traits. Some horses love dropping back in distance. Some horses don't. Some trainers have great success when they drop horses back in distance. Some trainers don't.

There will be times where a horse going up in distance is a top chance and other times where that distance rise means it has little chance. Just like there will be times when a horse dropping back in distance becomes a great bet.

The sooner punters stop thinking about racing as a group of fixed rules and look at each race with an open mind, not clouded by fixed rules automatically eliminating large numbers of horses, the sooner they can move towards having a better chance of making money over the long term.

Hi Neil,

Thank you for bringing the Top Four ratings back. It's funny you know, I always go to your site to have a look at everything you have there regardless of whether the ratings were there or not, your site is the only site I really trust over all the other sites I have visited. There are no other sites like yours, it's very friendly and you just want to go there!

Regards
Tony W.

PS: Your ratings got some very good results, trifectas, quinellas running doubles, duets, first fours. The people you get to rate the races are very good, they don't always put the favourites in!
