These are huge horseracing extravaganzas that horseplayers all wait for annually with bated breath, and which feature the biggest names in the sport regularly. A winning bet can mean excellent profits at derbies, so when it comes to handicapping skill and insight, derby betting is a great and very telling test.

The word ‘derby’ comes from the 12th Earl of Derby, Edward Smith-Stanley, who inaugurated the Epsom Derby in 1780 at the Epsom racecourse in England. Traditionally, the term itself is used to refer to races restricted to three-year-old horses, just like the English and US Triple Crown races all are. TVG, the premier multi-media outlet for horse racing in the US, covers practically all events of this special nature regularly and comprehensively.

These races are usually multi-day events, which mean that there can be over a hundred horses to place a bet on. If a horseplayer feels that he or she has already developed a great sense of race insight, derby betting is where that person can prove it. An interesting idea of insight is the gypsy tradition at the Epsom Derby: Supposedly, the name of a winner handwritten in chalk will mysteriously appear on a well outside the Amato public house on Chalk Farm Lane in Epsom. This event occurs on the Sunday before the big race.

Although TVG offers no mystical secrets, their website does have regularly updated odds and results, plus a full-featured handicapping store filled with the most accurate info horseracing prognosticators can get their hands on. With these tools, handicappers can maximize the power of their own insight for derby betting based on past performances and expert opinions. TVG.com also offers a fully secured off-track betting system to put that insight to good use, no matter where the derbies are.

When it comes to handicapping, insight derby betting is the ultimate acid test. And when it comes to complete resources and means to help make derby betting a successful task, TVG is the partner to beat. Visit TVG.com and start winning big.

While there are many casual horseplayers out there who choose horses based on a magical dart or on how nice horses’ names sound, careful, well informed handicapping reduces the role that pure luck plays in horserace betting, and as such can be a great tool to make a tidy profit with.

There is no such thing as a single end-all system of handicapping – otherwise the thrill of betting would be eliminated. Rather than sticking to one system, practically every single horseplayer has his or her own method of handicapping. These methods are honed by trial and error, and will eventually allow these horseplayers to make going to the races a truly enjoyable and reasonably profitable hobby.

But whatever method of handicapping is practiced, a source of complete and current information on various aspects of horseracing will always be needed to transcend the limits of blind luck. TVG.com represents a veritable wellspring of information for the aspiring successful handicapper, and can help immensely in getting horseplayers the accurate predictions they’re looking to make.

Expert handicappers need the latest correct data on past performances, performance cycles, track biases and other factors that can affect the outcome of a particular race. Luckily for them, TVG.com’s  horseracing handicapping store is supplied by the Equibase Company, arguably the most accurate and respected source of horseracing data and selections in the industry today.

Using sophisticated data collection and analysis systems like TrackMaster ®, Equibase offers the handicapping player expert picks and highly detailed past performance (PP) reports for both thoroughbred and harness racing. TVG also carries one of Equibase’s most potent handicapping tools: E Graphs. These reports provide a way to visually examine Equibase Speed, Pace and Class Figures plus other relevant information all in a single comprehensive graph. E Graphs also include expanded statistical analyses, program numbers and morning line odds for even more informed betting. After all, why rely on luck when you’ve got TVG.com by your side?

The terms that are thrown about quite casually by veteran horseplayers and fans – such as ‘trifecta’, ‘bet to show’, and ‘connections’ – can be quite daunting to newbies. At the same time, making a good bet cannot be left to chance alone. The fact that a horse’s name or appearance is better than its opponents’ doesn’t necessarily make that horse a good bet. This is why good horse racing wagering info is invaluable in horse race betting.

Handicapping is the process of predicting the outcome of a horse race. There are many factors that come into play during a race, and many players try to guess which horse will win by analyzing these factors.

Information such as the horses’ performance is factored in, as well as the type of track used and its condition. Some horses may perform better than others depending on the type of track, whether it’s natural soil, or artificial turf.

Another factor that players may consider is speed. One of the more popular methods of determining a horse’s speed is to check its Beyer speed rating – essentially a numerical representation of how fast a horse is. In theory, the higher the speed rating, the faster the horse is for a given track.

There are many other factors that players need to consider when playing the races. TVG has some of the best  free handicapping information available online.

To win, you must be able to practice the science of handicapping a race to the best of your ability.

Handicapping depends on several factors. The first is learning which of the four race conditions will be used in a particular race. The second involves knowing the horses’ connections, or their jockeys and trainers. Third, a horseplayer must observe the horses’ behavior. This includes running styles and any indications of discomfort or physical problems.
