By Ramesh Kumar | 15-Jul-2026Dear friends,
Good evening to all, I have been with Horse Racing since last 20 years, and been watching all types of premium and handicapp races at all centres in India, and beleive have sufficient knowledge to get a winning horse, here I am purely speaking of Handicap races in different classes from class V to class I,
I throughly go through all the parameters which effect the final position of a horse in a particular race., like weight carried, house shoes, change in equipment, allowance riders, draw position, penetrometer reading etc., And I believe many of follow the same procedure if i and not wrong.
And u all may be aware of all the racing bet pools, at racing club like Tanala, Quinella, Forecast so on.
But, whatever calculation we make , like detailed study of race card, many of us follow the card two ,three days ahead of the race day to get the correct horse in the correct position.
Even after the detailed study,the final verdict on the board , will be very close encounters. For Example, difference between the first and second, (Nose, ), second and third, ( Neck) , So ,if this is the position,it is really impossible,to get the top three horse.
I play at minimum risk the Place Bet. Still I loss a lot of money,.
If , any friend follows the last column of the completed race , like for a 1200 metres race the top five horse will have timing almost in the same frame just differentiated in micro seconds like given below. 1.12.05, 1.12,056, 1.12.082, 1.12.095, 1,12.099.
If this the position ,then it is quite impossible to get a winner for the next race meeting, if same bunch horses are running, whatever penalty the handicapper gives to the winner and handicapp allowance to the lossers..
This is my experience, and hope u all are getting what i want to say..... Handicapping should once again be reviewed, and changes have to be made than only it is possible to get the correct horse.
Thanks
