How many of you in the horse racing betting world have hands on experience with horses?

What got you into the horse racing game??

Brownie the support goat for White Abarrio will be heading to Gainesway to stay with his best friend. I would not expect anything less.

Looks like he’s headed to Gainesway. I think this is a good move for him.
Your thoughts?

Just some rambling thoughts from yesterday…

How does a specific trainer go from no wins on the dirt, to almost sweeping the whole meet in one day?

Also..
A couple of Maidens ran and were claimed , and then the vet said they were void of being claimed. If they were void, how are they racing in the first place? One was the winner too.

My top 3

Englishman

Golden Tempo

Counting Stars

And a slew that seem to be back and forth. No real stand outs

Which trainers would you say are ethical?

Is this newer generation better?

Cherie and Adrienne
La Paz
Whitman
O’Brien
Riley Mott

Race 2 at Saratoga.
Is this common?
Horses thrashing in the gate.
Jockeys bailing ship.
3 scratches
Tyler G with a foot injury..

He’s the one who captured my attention and got me into horse racing.. it’s Awful quiet on the home front about him since the Preakness . I know he was one of the biggest and youngest to race. Can’t forget about his epic display at the Kentucky Derby.

What paths do you see him on for the future.

Emerging Market looks like is going to run an optional claimer at Saratoga next Saturday.
Has something happened to him??

And yes, I’m the one with questions about claiming races since I’m still very new to this. Does an “optional claimer” give the owners the possibility of selling or not selling, it’s up to them if the price is right?

So I’m very green when it comes to racing. What exactly is a horse claiming race?. Is the claim made before or after the race and is the price fixed and who does the claiming and why do owners put their horses in these specific races??
Thanks

My kids definitely wanna go ahead and just buy one share for my birthday. Just for fun. I think they wanna say their mom has a share in a racehorse, even though it’s maybe one hair of the horse 😂😂😂 but they don’t know which one to choose because we don’t live near any race tracks. Our state does not have racing.

You guys are the experts ..
of the horses listed which one would you choose and why?
