			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The bettors and enthusiasts of horse races have grown, and the sport has become even more popular because it may now be followed on TV. A horse racing schedule is easily available on the Internet or directly through the network so that fans can find out in advance when a particular race will air.</p>
<p>However, horse racing networks such as TVG do not only broadcast horse races. Aside from their exclusive coverage of several racetracks, they have also introduced programs that focus on topics surrounding horse racing and almost everything that has to do with the sport, and the gambling behind it.  In May 2006, TVG aired new shows including Morning Line, Fandicapping, :58 Flat, Lady Luck and Drive Time. Lady Luck is the first show featuring an all female panel that discusses the day’s races from a woman’s perspective, while Drive Time is a show that covers exclusive racing from the Meadowlands. By placing microphones on select jockeys, owners, trainers, and starting crew members, the network is able to take their viewers inside the racetrack on select weekends. </p>
<p>The network’s TV horse racing schedule is also available in their website, and is updated weekly. Also available on their website is information about their shows and hosts, as well as a program guide. They even have a “Where to Watch” tab, wherein people may know where TVG is available in their area. But even with all of these features, TVG’s main focus is horse racing itself.</p>
<p>As the leader for interactive networks focusing on horse racing, TVG Network does not fail to deliver horse race footage from across the globe and provide on and off-the-track information. </p>
<p>Log on to TVG.com to learn more about their programs and to have access to their <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/ProgrammingGuide.aspx">TV horse racing schedule</a>, or contact 1-888-PLAY-TVG for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Horse race replays can give key insights on why a race was won or lost. Despite knowing the winners, true horse race enthusiasts insist on seeing how some results played out. They understand that every little factor can be a big difference in a race. It could be that their horse wasn&#8217;t fully fit. It could have been a jockey&#8217;s mistake. It could even be an ongoing bad string of troubles that a horse and his rider may be surfacing, like a disease or incorrect conditioning practices.</p>
<p>Whatever these factors may turn out to be, they manifest themselves in the races run and in the races to come. Depending on what went wrong, horses and jockeys will run future races knowing what could&#8217;ve been done to change the outcome, and will try to shape how the results will turn out next time.</p>
<p>For those who are deeply into the world of horse race betting and wagering however, every little detail shown on <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/WhereToWatch.aspx">horse race replays</a> is worth a lot. The world of race betting is a multi-million dollar industry, and whatever gets caught on film can equate to enormous amounts of money won, or a vast wealth lost on a bad bet due to bad information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Also known as Belmont Park, Belmont Track has been host to thoroughbred racing for over a hundred years. It was named after financier August Belmont, Sr., and opened on May 4, 1905 in Nassau County, New York.</p>
<p>Since then, it has become known as the most gorgeous, most accommodating track in the world and home to the Belmont Stakes. The Belmont Stakes is the third and last leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.</p>
<p>The property originally totaled some 650 acres and it was said that the horses crossed over to Queens and back to Nassau County in the course of a race. Today, it’s down to 450 acres but remains as impressive as ever. It has the largest grandstand in thoroughbred racing history which has a capacity of over 100,000.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/TrackDetails.aspx?ID=54">Belmont Track</a> is no longer just a world-class race track, it’s a place for the entire family. It features an impressive clubhouse and various dining areas including a garden terrace. The paddock area is also open for picnics and the occasional free concert.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a number of factors that should be considered when <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/schedule/split.asp">handicapping horse racing</a>. One of the most important factors that can be considered is the actual physical condition of the horse you are considering wagering on. When possible it is a good idea to take a look at the horse on the day it is going to race and determine whether the horse appears as though it is ready to race. How does the horse’s coat look? Does the horse look as though it is in peak condition?</p>
<p>In addition, take a look at the way in which the horse is walking. Ideally it is best to arrive at the race track a bit early before the actual <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">horse racing</a> begins to get an idea of how the horse is moving that day. You also need to determine whether the horse may have been ill recently because this can make a critical difference in how the horse may behave in that particular race that day. If you are well acquainted with the horse you can also determine whether the horse may be wearing any different equipment that could make a difference in the horse’s performance as well.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that you should not make the mistake of thinking that having seen the horse race in the past is exactly the same as seeing how the horse looks and behaves on the actual day of the race. You need to be able to determine whether the look and the behavior of the horse just before the race are consistent with the way the horse has looked and behaved in the past during prior races. This gives you the information you need to make an educated <a href="https://www.tvg.com/authenticated/rewards">wagering decision</a> in horse racing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/WhereToWatch.aspx">fans of horse racing</a> are familiar with the major Thoroughbred races; the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.  Because these races are televised on an annual basis, many fans will have a good understanding of many of the aspects of Thoroughbred racing.  What many horse racing fans do not realize is that there are many other breeds of horses that can participate in horse racing.</p>
<p>Another very popular breed of race horse in the United States is the Quarter Horse.  What makes this breed of horse so popular is its versatility.  While there are some similarities between Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing, there are also some major differences.</p>
<p>One of the similarities of Quarter <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">Horse racing</a> and Thoroughbred racing is that both breeds will carry a jockey on their back, compared to harness racing where the horses will pull a cart that is carrying the driver.  Another similarity is that both breeds of horses will race over a flat surface.  While Thoroughbreds have the option of racing over either dirt or grass, all Quarter Horses will always race over a dirt surface.</p>
<p>One of the major differences between the two breeds is the distances that they will race.  Thoroughbreds will run much longer races than Quarter Horses.  The average Thoroughbred race is about one mile in length, while the average Quarter Horse race is four hundred and forty yards.  Another difference between the two breeds is the speed in which they race.</p>
<p>Quarter Horses will run at a full gallop for the entire length of the race, while Thoroughbreds will have to rate their speed so that they will have enough stamina left to be able to finish the race.  More information about Thoroughbred and <a href="https://www.tvg.com/authenticated/rewards/">Quarter Horse racing</a> can be found at TVG.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many individuals have an understanding of the <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/WhereToWatch.aspx">sport of horse racing</a>; yet, they may not fully understand all of the minor details of the sport that make it so exciting and different from other sporting events.  Before a person can develop a deep appreciation for the sport of horse racing, they must first understand all of the different terms that are used throughout the sport.</p>
<p>One of the reasons why it is so difficult to gain an understanding of horse racing is that many of the terms that are used are only used in the sport of horse racing and are not used in other sporting events.  One of the reasons why it is important to understand all of the terms associated with the sport is that it can affect the way in which a wager is placed and potentially affect the amount of money that can possibly be won.</p>
<p>One commonly used term in the sport of <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">horse racing</a> is track condition, which is a description of the physical characteristics of the race track on any particular day.  There are also many different terms that are used to classify the condition of the race track.  For example, a fast track is one that is dry and will allow the horses to clock the fastest possible time.  On the other hand, a track that is sloppy is one that is very muddy and has water standing on the surface of the track, which will usually result in much slower running times.</p>
<p>Another term that is frequently used in the sport of horse racing is post position.  This the position in the starting gates that in which the horse will break.  <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/schedule/split.asp">Horse racing fans</a> who are interested in learning more about the sport can visit TVG.com for more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/WhereToWatch.aspx">sport of horse racing</a>, bettors will have many different options when it comes to selecting a certain bet to place on the race.  While it is possible to place any type of wager, it is a good idea to have some knowledge about the wager before it is placed.</p>
<p>One type of wager that is commonly placed on horse racing is the win wager.  What makes this particular wager so popular among gamblers is that it is a fairly simple wager that will have a decent return.  To place the win wager, bettors will only need to choose the one horse in the field that will win the race.</p>
<p>A variation of the win wager is the place wager.  What makes this wager different from the win wager is that the horse that is selected can finish the race in either first or second place and the bettor will still win.  Another popular <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">horse racing</a> wager is the show wager.  This bet is just like the win and place wager with the only difference being that the selected horse can finish the race in first, second or third place and the bettor will still win.</p>
<p>While these betting options are simple, they usually do not produce large payouts.  Bettors that are interested in winning large sums of money wagering on horse racing will have to place some of the more exotic wagers.  One example of an exotic wager is the pick six.</p>
<p>One of the reasons why this particular wager has such large payouts is that it is very difficult to correctly predict.  To win the pick six wagers, bettors will have to correctly choose the winning horses in six consecutive races.  Bettors can find more information about different <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Information.aspx?section=Help%20General%20FAQs">types of wagers</a> at TVG.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/WhereToWatch.aspx">horse racing</a> track around the country has its own unique story about how it began and Ruidoso Downs is no different.  In the beginning, this horse racing track was no more than a simple dirt road in a remote location.  The first official race at Ruidoso Downs was held in 1947, the year that the track first opened its doors.  Over the years, the <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">popularity of the horse racing</a> track continued to grow with the horsemen, mainly because of the increasing purse size of the races.</p>
<p>The year 1959 marked the beginning of a great tradition that is still taking place today.  1959 marked the first running of the All American Futurity for two year old Quarter Horses.  This first running of the race had a total prize of $129,686, of which the majority of the purse was awarded to the winner, Galobar.</p>
<p>Each passing year saw an increase in the number of entries and the total purse of the All American Futurity.  1982 was another milestone year for the famous futurity because this was the first time that the total purse for the race reached two million dollars, which made that year’s winner, Mr. Master Bug a millionaire the second that he crossed the finish line in first place.</p>
<p>Another fact that makes the All American Futurity so special is that it is the final race of the All American Triple Crown for Quarter Horses.  While the three different races of the Thoroughbred Triple Crown are all run at different race tracks, all of the Quarter Horse Triple Crown races are held at Ruidoso Downs during the summer months.</p>
