Gambling Willie’s Horse Racing and Betting Blog

Well my faithful readers, (all two of you) by now it is abundantly clear that I have been changing the look of the old blogeroo with some help.  It was about time to get rid of the old wordpress theme and find something a little spicier and usable.

I’m also adding articles from guest readers and articles I may have written under a pen name.  Look for more articles on greyhound racing and greyhound handicapping, too.  I know you dog racing fans have been chomping at the bit, or is that muzzle for more dog racing articles and help with your handicapping, so I’ve asked my friend Eb to bung some posts into the blog.

I just haven’t been going to the dogs lately (no really I mean it) and therefore haven’t had any fresh insights for you.

On the other hand I have been handicapping horse races and using horse racing systems, so I’ll keep you posted on the latest developments.  At the moment I am concentrating my efforts on races for younger horses.  This is the time of year when the two year olds and three year olds have all gotten some experience and start to show their true form.  It is a good time to find some stand out bets in races written for two year olds and three year olds.

I’ve found that pace plays an even bigger role in races for younger horses because they are intimidated by it more than older horses who learn to rate off the pace.  Many horses who will develop into fine runners later in their careers haven’t learned to settle down and chase a front runner down in the stretch, yet, so early speed wins a lot of races for younger horses.
