The Two Length Rule for Pace and Winners a Good Horse Race Angle

Over the years I’ve learned a few lessons in horse racing that have served me well for picking winners and making money off my bets.  I’m not saying these spot plays are always profitable, but if you follow them for a while, you’ll see that they pay pretty well and win more than their share of the races they are in.

Some people may think I’m crazy to give away a profitable horse racing angle, but I know that few people who read this will stick with them or be patient enough to make them pay.  The secret to being a winning horse player isn’t being smarter than everybody else.  There are a lot of very bright people who lose at the horse races every day.

The real secret to making money off your horse race bets is in being patient and picking your spots.  A patient man or woman will beat a smart man or woman nine times out of ten.  Why is that?  One reason is that the smart person knows how smart he or she is, in fact, knows that he or she is smarter than most other people and therefore, thinks it is only natural to be a winner.  In the real world, that just isn’t so.

They play almost anything that makes “sense,” to them or appears to be the best horse.  They cash a lot of tickets and wind up losing money in the long run.  The patient person, on the other hand, waits for a particular situation that he or she knows to be profitable and will only play it if the odds are right.  It is hard to beat such a person.

I have found, for my own purposes, that horses moving up in class after finishing within two lengths of the winner in their last race, sometimes win at a very good price.  It is true that very few horses win moving up in class, but the wins that do, that are sometimes profitable, are not the ones who won their last race, too many people expect them to win and bet them accordingly.  The real value play is in the horse who finished within two lengths of the winner.

The same is also true of pace on a drop down.  A horse who appeared to lose badly after running within two lengths of the leader half way through a race, will often finish well in the next race or two if dropping in class and is worth a look at a price.  This is especially true if it finished up the track because bettors will shun that horse figuring it was too far off to score, even in an easier spot.

You can take those two free horse racing angles to the bank.
