Horseracing Handicapping When Works are More Than Just Exercise

Most people who are involved in horseracing handicapping understand that workouts or works

, as they are sometimes called, are mostly just exercise, but there are some special cases where a work can be very significant.

The clockers who time the works and sometimes comment on them will often let you know if a high profile jockey exercised a particular horse. If a leading jockey takes the time to work a horse, he or she may be doing a trainer a favor to try the horse and offer advice about a training decision. At other times, the jock may be deciding if the horse is worth a ride in a race, though that decision is usually made by the jockey's agent.

Another thing that may be going on is that the jockey may be familiarizing him or herself with the animal to make sure that when race day comes they will be a winning team. When you read the clocker's comments, and you really should, for each track you play, make special note of any horse that got a ride from a jockey.

Then take a look at the horse's past performances, trainer, and any other comment's the clocker has made. Your job is to play detective and figure out what is going on with the horse. I can guarantee you that most people who bet on the horse's next race won't have done that. That extra bit of thought can result in you knowing more than the crowd and in handicapping, that is known as having the edge and that, my friends, is how you beat this game.

You will know more about that horse than the crowd so you will be like an insider.
