			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are plenty of reasons why millions of Americans have embraced the tradition of horseracing, making it the second most popular spectator sport in the country. From the fascinating sight of horses galloping their way to the finish line, to the thrill of betting one’s money on a favorite, there is no doubt that the sport remains as exciting as ever.</p>
<p>To make the experience complete, however, enthusiasts should keep in mind a few tips on understanding the game, finding the best tracks and betting wisely.</p>
<p>Learning about horses and how they are trained to win allows one to appreciate the game more, beyond the prospect of gaining profits. Indeed, there is much to know from the different types of horses, races and tracks, to the grueling training sessions that each horse and jockey undergoes.</p>
<p>Once there is enough working knowledge about <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Login.aspx">horseracing</a>, it would be fun to visit the nearest track. It does not have to be done on a race day, but even on an ordinary training day, where people are allowed to watch as the younger horses learn the ropes. New enthusiasts can simply listen to the sound of hoofs beating against the track.</p>
<p>In the United States, some of the best tracks include the Santa Anita Park in California, the Belmont Park in New York, and the Churchill Downs track, which hosts the prestigious Kentucky Derby. By going to these tracks, one can chance upon the country’s best horses as they compete for the most coveted titles in the sport.</p>
<p>Finally, experience the fun of betting and winning by adopting a good wagering strategy. Such a strategy should consist of a careful examination of the records of each participating horse and jockey, and the conditions at the track, among other factors.</p>
<p>TVG offers resources on horseracing on their website and through their regular programming. To learn more, visit TVG.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you interested in learning how you can gain a competitive <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/TVGTracks.aspx">edge in horseracing</a>? Everyone who places a wager most certainly does want to learn how to gain that all important edge. One way in which you can do this by keeping a close eye on the horse to determine how he is going to break. For example, keep a watch to determine whether the horse is being held back or whether his start might be somewhat slow. Horses that break clean have a better chance of improving within the next couple of lengths.</p>
<p>In addition, it is also important to keep an eye on the track to determine what kind of pace the horse is running against. Is it fast or slow? Is the horse being held back? Does it seem as though the jockey is urging the horse to rush in order to keep up? These are all important things to watch for when you are involved in <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">horseracing</a> in order to make sure you are able to take advantage of the best odds.</p>
<p>It has often been said that <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Information.aspx?section=Help%20General%20FAQs">handicapping horse racing</a> is part science and part art. As you go about the process you will certainly see that there is truth in that saying. If you are new at betting on horseracing, watching the elements just described can give you a great deal of information that you can use at your disposal later on as you place your wagers. While you might not always bet on the same horses, watching these elements will still give you a good understanding of how horses tend to race and what you need to look for in order to identify the horses with the best chances of winning. Ultimately, it can make a great deal of difference in your horseracing winnings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/RaceInformation/CurrentOddsResults.aspx">Horseracing</a> is a sport that has a great number of different variables that will have an effect on the outcome of any race.  For a horseracing fan to be consistently successful when betting, they will need to have some knowledge of all of the different handicapping methods that are commonly used.</p>
<p>The type of handicapping methods that are used will depend on the breed of horse that is racing.  For example, with Thoroughbred horseracing, many bettors will use the pace method.  With this handicapping method, bettors will try to determine which horses will set the pace for the race and which horses will close the race with a burst of speed.  This type of handicapping method is not used when betting on Quarter Horses because the races are very short and each horse will race at their top speed from the second that the starting gates open until they cross the finish line.</p>
<p>Another handicapping method that is commonly used is the speed handicapping method.  This is where bettors will evaluate the speed rating for each horse in the race and choose the horses that have the highest speed rating because in theory, these will be the fastest horses in the field.  While there is nothing wrong with using this handicapping method, many bettors prefer to use a combination of different methods to ensure that they have chosen the best horses in the field.</p>
<p>It is also common to use the class handicapping method when wagering on <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/WhereToWatch.aspx">horseracing</a>.  With this handicapping method, bettors will try to determine which horse in the field is the best by comparing their previous race results to that of the competition.  Bettors that would like to find more information about all of the different methods that can be used when handicapping horseracing can visit <a href="http://www.tvg.com">TVG.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/schedule/split.asp">Horseracing</a> is a sport that has been in existence for hundreds of years.  What makes the sport of horseracing so exciting is that there are many different forms of the sport that spectators and horse owners can enjoy.</p>
<p>One of the oldest forms of horseracing is chariot racing.  With chariot racing, either a single horse or a team of two horses will pull a chariot that is carrying the driver.  The distances for chariot races can vary; however, they are usually never longer than four hundred and forty yards.</p>
<p>A variation of chariot racing is harness racing; however, there are some major differences between the two <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">types of horseracing</a>.  For instance, with harness racing, there is always just one horse pulling the cart.  Another difference is the length of the race, which is much longer with harness racing.  The breed of horse for each form of racing is also different.  Chariot racing is performed by Quarter Horses, while harness racing is performed by the Standardbred.</p>
<p>The gate at which the two different types of races are run is also different.  With chariot racing, the horse, or horses, will run at a full gallop.  With harness racing, the horses will either race at a trot or a pace, which is much slower.</p>
<p>Another variation of horseracing is referred to as flat racing.  With this type of race, a single horse carrying a jockey on their back will run over a flat race track of either dirt or grass.  There are many different breeds of horses that can participate in flat racing, with the Thoroughbred being the most popular.  <a href="http://www.tvg.com/resources.htm">Fans of horseracing</a> who are interested in learning more about all of the different types of horse races can find a great deal more information by visiting TVG.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The basic concept behind the <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/TVGTracks.aspx">sport of horseracing</a> is the same for all of the different breeds of horses; however, there are some various details that also make the sport of horseracing vastly different for each breed.  Horseracing fans are encouraged to learn about each of the different breeds of racehorse before they place their wagers.</p>
<p>One of the most popular breed of race horse is the Thoroughbred.  One of the reasons why this particular breed of horse is so popular is that it can be found in many different countries around the world.  With Thoroughbred horseracing, the horses will be required to run much longer distances than other breeds, with the most commonly run distance being one mile.  Another unique fact with Thoroughbred horseracing is that the horses can race either on a dirt track or a turf course.</p>
<p>Another breed of horse that is commonly used for <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">horseracing</a> is the Standardbred.  This breed of horse is similar to the Thoroughbred in that they will normally run longer distances; however, there are also many differences between this breed and the Thoroughbred.</p>
<p>For example, the Thoroughbred will run their races at a gallop, while the Standardbred will race at either a trot or a pace.  Another variation between the two breeds is that the Thoroughbred will race carrying a jockey on their back, while a Standardbred will race pulling a cart that is holding the driver.</p>
<p>Another breed of race horse that is popular in the United States is the Quarter Horse.  What makes <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/ProgrammingGuide.aspx">Quarter Horse racing</a> different from the other breeds is that the Quarter Horse will usually not run distances longer than four hundred and forty yards.  Horseracing fans who are interested in learning more about all of the different breeds of racehorses can visit TVG.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/ProgrammingGuide.aspx">Horseracing</a> is an event in which many different breeds of horses can compete.  One such breed that is well known across the United States is the Quarter Horse.  There are many different races that are designed especially for the Quarter Horse, including the Ruidoso Derby.</p>
<p>The Ruidoso Derby was first held in the year 1976, sixteen years after the creation of the Ruidoso Futurity.  There are several things that make the Ruidoso Derby different from the Ruidoso Futurity.  The main difference between the two races is that the Ruidoso Derby is only open to three year olds, while the Ruidoso Futurity is only open to two year olds.</p>
<p>Another factor that is different between the two races is the distance in which the horses must run.  In the Ruidoso Futurity, the two year olds must run three hundred and fifty yards, while the three year olds in the Ruidoso Derby must run four hundred yards.</p>
<p>Both the Ruidoso Futurity and the <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">Ruidoso Derby of horseracing</a> are held at history Ruidoso race track in Ruidoso New Mexico in late June.  The Ruidoso Futurity of horseracing is the first race of the historic All American Triple Crown of Quarter Horse racing.</p>
<p>While there is no doubt that the Thoroughbred Triple Crown is a grueling task, the Quarter Horse All American Triple Crown is just as difficult, if not more so.  This is because Quarter Horses must first race in trials with the top ten fastest qualifiers moving on to the finals of each race, meaning that Quarter Horses must race in six races to win the Triple Crown instead of just three like the Thoroughbreds.</p>
<p>Horseracing fans who are interested to learn more about the Ruidoso Futurity and Derby, along with many other types of <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/tvgtracksexclusive.aspx">Quarter Horse races</a>, can visit TVG.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Triple Crown of <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/TVGTracks.aspx">Thoroughbred horseracing</a> is one of the most famous events in all of sports.  This is because there is a great amount of history and prestige that surrounds these three races.  Another breed of horse that also celebrates an annual Triple Crown is the Quarter Horse; however, there are many differences that separate the Thoroughbred Triple Crown from the Quarter Horse Triple Crown.</p>
<p>One of the main differences between the two series of races is that the Thoroughbred Triple Crown is only open to three year old fillies, colts and geldings.  While these races are open to any sex, Thoroughbreds have also created a series of races that are specifically for fillies.  With Quarter Horses, there are only the three races and there is no separate classification for fillies and colts.</p>
<p>Another major difference between the Triple Crown of the two breeds is that the Quarter Horse Triple Crown <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">horseracing</a> is for two year olds; however, there is also another series of races that is similar to the Triple Crown that is only for three year olds.  This means that in theory, a Quarter Horse could win the Triple Crown twice because there are races designed for both two year olds and three year olds.</p>
<p>In the Thoroughbred Triple Crown series, the horses are nominated to run in each race, while with <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/TVGNetwork/ProgrammingGuide.aspx">Quarter Horses</a>, the horses are required to race in a series of qualifying trials for each race with only the top ten fastest qualifiers being invited back to race in the finals.  This means that a Quarter Horse will have to race in six races on their journey to win the Triple Crown.  More information about the various Triple Crowns of horseracing can be found at TVG.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When most people think of big horse races, they think of some of the most well known races in the world, such as the Breeders’ Cup or the Kentucky Derby. While these are certainly world renowned races, they actually represent the summit of racing, at least in North America. There are actually a variety of different classes of <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/TVGTracks.aspx">horseracing</a> that should be understood when considering placing a bet on a horse race.</p>
<p>Before a horse can race in that class of horse race, he or she must begin at a much lower level of horseracing competition. Understanding the different types of races can be quite important because it provides a clear idea of the background of some of the biggest name horses that may eventually reach the pinnacle races. The two lowest levels of races are maiden races and claiming races.</p>
<p>Horses that have not yet won any race are referred to as maidens. When a horse wins his or her first race they are said to be &#8220;breaking their maiden.&#8221; In most instances this happens in a maiden race, but that is not always the case. It is important to understand that exceptional horses can actually take their first win in any class of race, even if it is a stakes race. Maiden Special Weight races are the top classes for maiden <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/RaceInformation/CurrentOddsResults.aspx">horseracing</a>. The horses competing in these races are typically top quality.</p>
<p>In a claiming race, every horse that is racing can be purchased. The request to purchase the horse is made prior to the race. At the conclusion of the race, the person who wished to claim the horse becomes the owner of the horse, regardless of the actual outcome of the race. Find out more information about maiden and claiming races at <a href="http://www.tvg.com">TVG.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/TVGTracks.aspx">Horseracing</a> is one of the oldest sports in the United States. Many people find plenty of excitement and fun just by observing the race. There are also many people who have doubled their money by correctly choosing the horse that would cross the finish line first. From stakes races to maiden races, horse races offer much excitement. While you can never be exactly certain if the choice you make will be correct, there are a few guidelines that can be followed to improve your chances of making a good wager.</p>
<p>Educating yourself about the way in which horseracing works is the best place to start when you want to win your bets. First, remember that choosing a winning bet in <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/RaceInformation/CurrentOddsResults.aspx">horseracing</a> is not just about choosing the fastest horse or the strongest horse. You also must understand something about the premise behind the race, such as strategies and rules.</p>
<p>In addition, you do need to educate yourself about the horses that will be competing in the race. This will give you a strong idea of which horses are good bets and which ones you should steer clear of. Specifically, you should find out the history of the horse, the previous types of races in which they have competed and how they have performed in those races.</p>
<p>It is also a good idea to know how frequently a horse races. Horses that have not raced in awhile could be a toss-up, especially if they have not been conditioned well between the last time they were raced and the upcoming race. After you have educated yourself about the sport of horseracing, you will be in a much better position to accept the outcome of the race as well as enjoy the overall race.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/Tracks/TVGTracks.aspx">referring to horseracing</a>, each breed of horse will have a few races that are the most famous and well known among the horsemen and the horseracing fans.  Some of the most famous of the Thoroughbred races are the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, the Belmont Stakes and the Breeders’ Cup races.  There are also several famous races for Quarter Horses as well.</p>
<p>One of the most well known Quarter Horse races is the All American Futurity.  One of the reasons why this particular <a href="http://www.tvg.com/">horseracing</a> venue is so famous and well known is that it is one of the richest races for Quarter Horses.  This particular race has a total purse of over two million dollars, which means the winner of the race will become a millionaire the second that they cross the finish line.</p>
<p>Another reason why the All American Futurity is so special is that it is the final race of the All American Triple Crown for Quarter Horses.  The other two races that make up the Triple Crown are the Ruidoso Futurity and the Rainbow Futurity.  All three of these races are held annually at Ruidoso Downs race track, located in Ruidoso New Mexico.</p>
<p>The All American Futurity and All American Derby are similar and different in many ways.  One of the similarities between the two races is that they are both four hundred and forty yards in length and all of the horses will have to run in qualifying trials with the top ten fastest horses returning to the finals.</p>
<p>One of the major differences is that the Futurity is only for two year olds and the Derby is only for three year olds.  Horseracing fans who would like to learn more about the <a href="http://www.tvg.com/Open/schedule/split.asp">All American Futurity</a> and Derby can visit TVG.com.</p>
