Market Press Release – December 29, 2011 5:55 am – Reno, NV – December 26, 2011 – TheHorseHandicappingAuthority.com announced earlier today that it plans to offer an important educational service, centering on “track speed” to its members and to others who visit the website, beginning immediately.
Dave Schwartz, President of theHorseHandicappingAuthority.com, and an acknowledged expert on the sport and on handicapping techniques, including “speed biases,” stated that the purpose of the service will be almost entirely educational in nature. He did, however, say that visitors to his website, many of whom are longtime fans of thoroughbred horse racing and skilled handicappers are likely to benefit from the knowledge they acquire.
As Schwartz noted, all thoroughbred race tracks are different in one or more aspects. He described a few tracks to make his point. Aqueduct Race Track, in suburban New York, for example, is a dirt track that runs a winter meet. It is known to be a track that “favors inside speed” so that horses leaving from outside posts rarely win.
Saratoga Race Track, in upstate New York, races only 6 weeks a year, in summer, and is considered to be a “speed track.” In other words, horse that leave the gate well and are able to get to the lead generally are able to “hold the lead” to the wire or finish line.
Schwartz also referenced other tracks, such as Pimlico in Baltimore, Maryland, a track known for its very short first turn as an oval that favored horses with “sprint speed” leaving from inside posts.
Other tracks mentioned included Belmont Park in Long Island, New York, Churchill Downs in Kentucky and Del Mar Race Track in southern California, all three of which have speed biases based on track surface or configuration.
There are, of course, many more tracks scattered throughout the United States and Canada, some of which have dirt surfaces, others of which have surfaces that are synthetic and have no dirt at all.
The surfaces and other factors play a significant role in “the speed” that a track gives up to its equine competitors. The information is, of course, important to all fans of the sport, particularly those who wager for financial gain.
TheHorseHandicappingAuthority.com will be running regular features on every thoroughbred race track in the United States and Canada on a weekly basis.
Horse players interested in learning more about the sport are encouraged to visit TheHorseHandicappingauthority.com frequently.
