Today was a special day for me.
I experienced a live horse race for the first time!
I have to say the excitement and the thrill which one can experience on the Live Horse Racing are just unimaginable.
From conversation with some that are familiar with the details... it is the conditions prevailing in the particular racing venue decides the result of Live Horse Racing. Today due to rain the race was run in the wet dirt.
Live Horse racing is actually planned horse racing. Before & behind the scene lays a lots of preparation.
The Horses are trained in advance to make them fit and prefect on the day of live horse racing. Other factors which are finished off in advance before the live horse racing are as follows: 1. The racing horses are different than the ordinary ones. They are specially brought up in the same style to make them most suitable for horse racing. They are offered the special training and breeding. Some horses are trained later after the age of five years. Such horses are thus best for live horse racing. 2. The jockeys sitting on the horses to ride them are also specially trained. They should also be physically fit. They conduct the practice sessions with their horses. So they can perform very well at the time of Live Horse Racing. 3. The racetracks are also all set for live horse Racings. Such horses can run nicely on dirt or hard racetracks. Thus depending on it, the jockeys are allowed to enter the competition with their horses on specific race courses. 4. The betting on tracks is the main task for many during the live racing. They set their bets on the horses and have look on it form outside the tracks. Some in running bets are done on some racetracks. At that time all the wagerers gather on the venue and watch the live horse racing to set their betting. But it is considered as the quite risky thing to bet 'in running'. 5. Old pros usually before the date of live racing make their assessments in advance. Lots of analysis and thinking is done before it. The history of horses is studied and on that basis the picks are decided for betting. The final live horse racing is then is very important for them to check whether their stakes are going to be gained back in given odds or not. 6. The Live Horse racing is broadcasted on big screen and by electronic Media to give the clear picture of the racing.
To my dismay there are many race courses all over the world where daily live horse racings are organized.
Me: I arrived with not an inkling of what to do.
I was instructed that a racing booklet would be needed at a purchase price of $3. However, a coupon for $5 free slot play was included in the booklet so the deal was some what sweeter. As I surveyed the booklet none of the stats meant anything to me so it was either "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" or a name that jumped out to me.
I chose a horse named "Responsibility" with odds of 12 - 1. My inexperience dictated that I place only a $2 bet to win, place or show.
The waiting for the gate to show up and horses in the gate was the most painful wait. Before I knew it I was up on my feet shouting for my horse. 😄
"Responsibility" ran a good race but only placed 3rd. So my spoils of the race would only be $3.60. 😅
I had came and I had made a bet so I was content to just watch the rest of the races just making picks without official bets. Good choice on my part. 👍
My choices proved to go sour as the time passed.
My free slot play was a little more sucessful with $6.85 more in spoils for the day.
Now the day was a sucess in my world.
I could go home content that another great day was behind me as I prepared to leave town in the early hours of the new day.
Stay Tuned For Further Developement...
