Whats your interest in racing, and a whole heap of other questions?

Well, I have always thought that horses where beautiful. They are so gentle and graceful. I have to admit that I only recently started watching horse racing. Rachel Alexandra is who drew me in. I am a fan of unique and rare talent and when I finally saw Rachel I knew that she embodied all of that.

Every race she was in all 8 of them in 2009 where spectacular and I enjoyed every moment of it. I do not bet on horses I am only watching now because I love to see Rachel run. One of my dreams is to see her run in person. That would truly be something special. I love YA because you can talk about anything and everything and get feed back right away.

Hi Jess

I have to say that I could never claim to be as enthusiastic nor contribute as much to horse racing on yahoo as you and some notable others do, however, I started dabbling around on this site when it was just Aussie horse racing and there were a few keen punters that would organise tipping contests for Saturday races and offer some thought-full insights etc.

Its disappointing that side of things diminished considerably once this site became a world wide amalgamation cluttered with non relevant material that has made it en-cumbersome and a lot less applicable to the Aussie punter.

I became interested in horse racing about 30 years ago through the company I was keeping at the time.Newspaper form guides and radio coverage were the go then and every TAB was full of thick cigarette smoke and colourful characters.

I am undecided if the internet has improved horse racing even though information and product has increased expeditiously.

The one thing that remains constant for me is that horse racing is a bottomless pit and I can always discover a new way to lose. I have devoted insurmountable time over the years doing form analysis only to become disappointed at my return on investment.

The most unforgettable moments are the ones that profoundly effect my betting bank.

my interest is to see why the horse that i bet won or lost based on the time ran, against the record of the horses in the fields last 10 races.

Trying to compare those stats, and trying to measure the track bias, I find that I am spending less money at the track on betting and finding a better answer as to why who is winning as they are, and who to bet when the wagering pool does not bet a horse that should have more money on it.

Unforgettable moments are when i lose or win based on a placement by the judges.

lately, I am way up on getting the short end of the stick on placements.

I do not dream or have any aspirations on what i would like to do or see at the track.

i have a simple goal, study the form, and try to win 25%of the exactor, triactor, superactor pools, and take the odd bet at the high five.

I am not sure what your last question is, so, I would say, people who spend time on this web page, improve their ability to say what they want, and they may even learn something, but never adimit it. :)

To predict game results you can use some reliable softwares that compare the stats for you to find those repeating patterns and trends. You can win with a high degree of probability (86.5%). A good site with a reliable method that you can test for free is http://sportbetting.toptips.org/

Hi there,

I definitely recommend to use a good betting software if you want to achieve consistent results. I use the software of this site http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=567

I live in the U.S. but I'm very familiar with horse racing in Australia and The Magic Millions horse race carnival in early January each year there, which is now recognized as Australia’s second biggest thoroughbred event behind the Melbourne Cup...I would love to experience both someday, a future goal.

I grew up with horses, horse racing and experienced all aspects of the sport. I'm an excellent rider, and love every minute of riding. We are a family who owns horses and are involved with their daily care and training and everything else that goes along with that. It's hard work!!! Vendor's invite us many places so I've experience a lot. My family owns a very large Summer estate, where we bring our horses and live every Summer- end of July - Mid- Sept., we are there for and during the Saratoga meet. The estate is just outside of Saratoga Springs, NY in Lake George, NY..also, outside of Saratoga Springs Race Course. Don't know if you're family with Saratoga? But, it an amazing place. Here's a link to get familiar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saratoga_Race_Course

After a couple weeks after the meet we return with our horses to our home/ranch in Western NY. I'm really happy and live a fortunate life, I thank God for it every day.

I do Handicap and quite well. Handicapping, betting on horse racing, is as much an art as it is a science. No one method is better than others and a good handicapper is always learning. Any great handicapper will tell you that he (in my case she) is constantly changing and adapting his/her methods, always learning, and always on the lookout for another angle. This skill as you know requires experience, patience, and of course a little luck...LOL! Becoming a good handicapper requires years of study. And, I always remember anything can happen in horse racing and learn to expect the unexpected.

I've had many amazing and unforgettable moments and plan on experiencing many more. I'm only in my 40's so there is a lot of time to capture more memories. And with that, making up my future dreams and aspirations...I really want to continue on learning and experiencing this amazing sport and care for these beautiful animals throughout my life. I'm involved in non-profit rescue organizations who's goal is to transition retired horses into a second career. There are rescue organizations throughout our country working extremely hard to fore go any cruel treatment. Also, Monique Koehler, the founder of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF), who I support totally will receive the 2009 Special Eclipse Award in honor of her work saving retired racehorses through the TRF. The Special Eclipse Award honors outstanding individual achievements in, or contributions to, the sport of thoroughbred racing. Koehler will receive her honor at the 39th annual Eclipse Awards on Monday, January 18 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA.

I participate in YA (member since July 2006) because I love to help others and loved to share my knowledge in this category. I, also, dabble in other categories, as well, strictly as a hobby and entertainment. I can't tell you everything in my horse racing world due to the privacy I must keep, however, I hope what I did share you found interesting. Would love to hear your story someday. Good Luck !!!

First of all, I just love horses, especially thoroughbreds. I love to watch a horse train and run who loves to run. I galloped for 17 years, and there's nothing like galloping and breezing a horse who loves to run, and I was fortunate to work for very good trainers whose horses were exceptionally well bred and who got the best of care. I like all aspects of handling horses, including the groundwork and general care. I came out of my mom's womb begging for a "pony," and started riding proper at age 6, so my love of racing comes from understanding how horses are wired and knowing that those who do well in the sport are horses who really love their work, love to run. I also jump and train up through 3rd level dressage. I like answering questions on YA because it's like taking little mini-exams, tests my knowledge and ability to articulate things (I also teach riding and horsemanship, for 15 years and been PAID to train horses for 27 years). So it's fun to see if I can address questions and help someone out. I also really enjoy reading the answers submitted by a couple of the really knowledgeable participants on YA. It's interesting to see their take on certain questions, and I've learned from them. I also like the fact that people from lots of parts of the world participate. I especially enjoy reading questions and anwers from the English, Irish, Scottish, Aussie and New Zealanders.

Best of luck to you in your new job.

Why would anyone give thumbs down to the above answers, they took the time to share their life experiences making them deserving of a thumbs up. To bad and so sad for the troll who can't appreciate it. Thumbs up to those who took the time to participate.

I did not adopt because of religious beliefs or any calling. I do know of theists who adopted because they wanted to provide families to those without, and they did not feel the bible precluded them from doing so, but none of them mentioned a "calling". I think it is erroneous to mix religious beliefs with callings. I am not a theist, but I do not see how anyone could use the Christian bible as a way against adoption. We see many examples of adoption (Moses, Esther, even Jesus). There are many passages that refer to the concept of adoption, and I would argue that one of the major tenets of Christianity would be the CHOICE one makes in defining their FAMILY - making the choice to accept God as your Father. For example, Ephesians 1:5 (4: For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5: he[a] predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.) John 19:26-27 is also a message as to the choice of creating a family. (26: When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son," 27: and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.)
