Off to the Races! - Cal-Expo on Saturday, December 3, 2016
Whether you've come for the beautiful horses, great friends or a little gambling, we hope you enjoy your experience at
the track today. We even have some fun facts and useful suggestions to help you cash a few winning tickets!
Harness racing is all about preparation, dedication and competition. Each and every race the horses and their owners, trainers and drivers contend for a
share of the purse money and the glory of winning. But wait! You can also become part of the action by placing wagers on today's races. Because the
track itself has no stake in who wins or loses, when you bet on the harness races you're not playing against the house like with casino gaming, you are
playing against all the other horse players at the track and at simulcast locations throughout the country.
It's time to place your bets! There are two basic approaches to wagering:
There are many types of wagers, but our plays only involve:
1) Handicapping involves studying previous races in order to predict the likely
outcome of a race today. Experienced handicappers analyze the information
found in the race program, but we've made it easy and done all the work for you!
Win (horse must finish 1st)
Show (horse can finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd)
Exacta Box (horses must finish 1st & 2nd in either order)
Trifecta Box (horses must finish 1st, 2nd & 3rd in any order)
The Science of "Handicapped" Bets If you like to take a more calculated approach to your wagering, feel confident in the expert recommendations we've laid out below. They are all based on
scientific analysis of previous races and modeled after the methods used by top handicappers. In addition to the past performances we also look at the
trainers who prepare the horses for the races and the drivers that guide them during the races. Select the wager that's right for you based on the amount
of money you're willing to invest and the amount of risk you're willing to take. Play it safe or take a shot at a big score, the choice is yours.
2) Hunch betting is perhaps the most enjoyable way for new fans to play the races. Knowledge of racing is not required, but an imagination is!
The Art of "Hunch" Bets There are no right or wrong selections here, and the options are endless! Horse names
