Proper Handicapping Or Quality Of Horse

By Ramesh Kumar | 15-Jul-2026

Dear 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

Study race card and analysis every horse it just a tip of the ice berg. 99% punters failed in this game.

If we go by publically available information, (which is given in all race books) ,we ultimately arrive at the favourite. Favourites do win majority of the races ,but it is of no use to the ordinary punter. Only a naive punter will think that all horses in a race are there to win.Intention of the connentions is far more important. I believe that most of the connections work towards a targeted race ,which could be weeks away! A good jockey can do anything! Win a race which he could have won by 4 lengths by only a neck.or even lose by a short head.Study of handicap comes with it's own limitations !

Good morning 

Sri B. Prakash ji, and Bharat anne nenu, for ur response, yes I could understand the logic regarding Sunday Bangalore 8th race logic carried to find the 9th race winner. Like Bhawani Singh , horse No. 4 , win and next race 9th race Antony Raj ,won as both the horse ran in earlier race number 115, and were second and third....... Same logic is not applicable always......

B. Prakash Ji same day 12th July 2026., Race No. 6 The turf Authority of India Trophy, Horse No. 4, Windfield, No.5 Youremanorborne, Hose No.6, Moon star, run in the same race .race number 71. Moon star was 2nd, Windfield 3rd, Youremanorborne 5th.       I played Moon star for place, but it did not finish in top 5...... Where as number 5 and 4 were first and second......whereas the distance was same 1800m and 1800m , Jockey also Top level...

That is what I want to make the logic does not work every were. Something wrong is going on .

There are multiple factors which derive the result of the race. The factors which you have mentioned are in the race book/websites which are visible to everyone, but unfortunately there are many invisible factors which you need to take into consideration. I am surprised that you learnt very little in 20 years.
