I been betting horses for over 20 years and like all punters there been ups and downs.
The thing about horse racing is sitting down with the form book and try and find the winner and possibly a very good price.
Handicaps are good to try and analyse the form and there is a good oppertunity in finding a well handicap horse at a good price.
In fields of 16 and more, you have a great chance of getting your eachway bet up as there are four places.
One of my favourite bets is the eachway double, where you could double your money if both horses placed.
As I live in Scotland, one of my favourite courses is Perth for jumping and going to the races is exciting and thrilling. Even if you do not have a bet, to see the horses in the parade ring, so you can see for yourself if a horse is ready to take part and not boiled over.
One thing to look for if the horse is sweating between the hind legs as its a sign they are worrying and there mind is on other things. If you notice a colt is looking coltish you can see he is interested in the other sex than racing.
