what are the rules set for horse racing?

Unlike baseball, basketball, hockey, etc., horse racing does not have a national commissioner. Each state has its own rules and regulations pertaining to medications, additives, disciplinary acton against jockey's and the connections of a horse, etc.\n\nThe rules of racing can be different within the same state and may even vary from racetrack to racetrack within a particular state, i.e., some standardbred racetracks are 5/8 of a mile in circumference-Pocono Downs in Pennsylvania, some racetracks are 1/2 mile in circumference-Yonkers Raceway in New York, Meadowlands in New Jersey-1 mile, and Belmont Park racetrack for thoroughbreds in New York is 1 1/2 mile in circumference. All with a different set of rules and regulations as to racing, training and caring for a horse.\n\nAnd, there is the matter of dirt or turf and claiming, allowance or graded racing...And, on and on.\n\nTo answer the question, you would have to get in touch with the Racing Secretary's Office of a particular racetrack for more detailed information.

The oldest horse racing club was establised in 1812.\nIt's called The Mauritius Turf Club, set up by a British Army Colonel, Edward Alured Draper.\n\nHope I've been of some help!

It is a jumps meeting usually organised by local hunts and held on hunt supporters land.\n\nA lot of the good National Hunt horses in GB and IRE learn their trade on the point-to-point circuit before racing "under rules".\n\nLegend has it that the name came about as gentlemen would challenge each other to race their horses between two villages, using the church steeples as the start and finish (from one point on the horizon to another).  Also hence the name steeplechasing.

Each state has its own rules and regulations to be an owner, partner/owner, corporation, trainer, assistant trainer, jockey, exercise rider, etc...\n\nIt is best to contact the racing secretary's office of the particular state and racetrack in which you intend to race and identify yourself. That particular racetrack will give to you all of the necessary paperwork. It may also be a good idea to contact a trainer of that racetrack and discuss your intentions with him/her. \n\nAnd, not only will the racetrack ask for identification and licensing, but, so will the insurance carrier. Even if the racetrack says it's o.k. to be a part of the connections of a racehorse or barn, make certain you carry proper insurance.

Depends on the age and at what fitness level you are trying to keep these horse.\nIf you are trying to keep them racing fit you are going to need to work them every day and breeze them about every seven days.\nIt also will depend on the horse. Some need to race even 10 days or so just to keep fit.\nWe rode ours third or fourth day  day and did about three miles with some spped in the second mile and some again in the thrid mile if the horse wanted to. These wer long slower gallops not like you were asking for top speed. Just bursts of speed in the middle. \nOn the off days we still rode but slower without asking for speed.\nIf you are not able to ride each horse consider ponying one if you are comfortable doing it. Alternate who is ridden and who is ponied.\nWe would alternat this with free round pen work

Why part of the country are you located in?  Are you able to go to see live racing?  Or do you just wager on simulcast races?\nBetting on horse races is a very tricky proposition, and you have to decide beforehand how involved you wanna become.\nIf you want to be a recreational bettor, then there are methods which give you a "shot" to win some money, or at the least to lessen your chances of losing.\nIt is NOT a good practice to wager on the betting favorite.  Industry-wide the betting favorite wins less than 37%, so that means that 63% of the time the betting favorite loses.  The additional negative to wagering on favorites is the return on investment is always low, and if you do a random math test, you will find that handicappers that always play favorites, will consistently LOSE money.\nFor example, lets just use a simple $2.00 win bet on 10 betting favorites that are all 2/1 betting choices.\nIn ten races you would wager $20.00.  Nationwide, ONLY 37% of the favorites win.  So, lets say in ten races you would win four times.  If they all paid $6.00, then you would net a $4.00 profit.  But that is the perfect world.  In reality, the betting favorites will many times be 9/5, 8/5, or 7/5. or 6/5 or even money, even heavier favorites will be less than even money at 1/1, 4/5, 3/5, 2/5 or 1/5.  The average payoff will tend to be less than $5.00. So at the very best you break even.\nFrankly, you have a much better chance in a ten horse field by playing the 3rd betting choice.  You'll find they win at a percentage nearly equal to the "betting favorite", yet, typically they will 4/1 or 5/1 or even higher, and you can earn a small profit, day in and day out.\nSuganti, there are very few shortcuts in this profession.  If there were a system to be developed to make it easy, trust me, there have been lots and lots of really smart people, i.e. mathematicians, statisticians, that have yet to find anything meaningful to put their arms around.\nIt is a sport which requires time, effort, dedication, cash, patience, research and conviction.  Recreational players that show up at a track on a Saturday with their $30.00 to "lose", will generally lose their money.\nLastly, don't misinterpret luck for skill in this sport.  That's the downfall for many, many players.   \nGood luck, you can email me at finewalnut9@yahoo.com for some pointers at whatever track you frequent.  I know all the top trainers, their methodology and their intentions.

Basically, handicapping is looking at a horse in a particular race to decide how well the horse will do in that race.  Professional handicappers do this to see if a horse would be at an advantage or disadvantage in a race, and to see if adjustments should be made to equal out the field of horses.  For example, a proven winner and experienced horse might have to carry more weight in a race than a green, unproven horse to give the green horse a better chance at winning the race, since the more weight a horse carries the harder it is to run.  Professional handicappers do this by looking at things like race record, who the horse has raced against before, how long since the horse raced last, who may be riding the horse, etc.\nFor the amateur handicapper who just wants to place a good bet, handicapping can be as simple as looking for the best horse in the paddock before the race to studying a horse for weeks before the race to find the best one.  Most handicappers look at four things when looking at a horse: Speed, or how fast the horse can run or has run before, Pace, or how the horse likes to run in a race (you dont want to bet on the sprinter who can only run fast for a quarter mile to win in a mile long race for example), Form, or how the horse looks (for example, if the horse has won the past five races it has been in, it is more likely to win than the horse who has not won in the past five races), and Class, or how high a calibur the horse is (you would expect a horse that won the Kentucky Derby to be able to beat a field of horses in a claiming race just because the Kentucky Derby horse should be of a higher caliber than the claiming horses).  Other factors could be considered, such as pedigree, trainer, rider, weather, condition of the racetrack, etc.  The best place to find out alll this information is the Daily Racing Form.  Pick one up the day before a race or go online at www.drf.com to see the statistics on each horse in a race, then pick who you think will be a winner. Handicapping is not an exact science, so try out different ways and see which works best for you.

The race is not stopped BUT the horse/jockey combo will be disqualified and the jockey will face very serious consequences afterwards. There are fines and suspensions waiting for him at the finish line.\nIf one jockey has a bad habit of doing those things, he can be barred from certain tracks, as well.\nThat's a very dangerous thing to be doing in the middle of an already very dangerous activity!

It's both a horse race and a human track and field event.  Both races still exist.  Horse races can be found in any "steeplechase park" and human races can be found in almost any collegiate track event.  Basically the concept is the same regardless of the athlete (horse or human).  The athletes race against each other, jumping barriers, including one barrier that has a water pit that also must be crossed.

don't want to challenge any of those answers, but.....they are wrong.\n\nLook at horse racing logically.\nCompare it to people.\nIf 7 guys are all sprinters, and 2 are cross country runners, would you pick the cc runners in a 100 yard sprint?\nfirst, determine if the distance is appropriate for the horse.\n2nd, If the 7 sprinters all run times within 1% of each other (meaning their best). How would you pick them?\nLook at recent activity and works.\n3rd, if the connections are good and win percentage is better than the others, should you then bet the connections.\nAnswer: yes, if\n\n4th, the race sets up for them.\n\nso to recap.\n\nPlay for fun and accept your losses or\nstudy and buy a system that works....and use it.
