Distance is a key factor in betting on horse racing and lets cover some tips that are crucial to your handicapping. When handicapping distance in horse racing we refer to a route being 1 mile or longer and anything less than that will be considered a sprint distance. The length of the race your handicapping is very important to the horses that are about to race. After you take into account the running style of the horse and the distance it prefers you can begin to vizualize how the race will break down to the finish line.
It is a fact that some horses just prefer to run certain distances. Some horses will run both route and sprint races but they will favor one or the other. Training can also play a factor as the trainer controls what races the horse is entered into. In cheaper races horses are often placed at the wrong distance just to get them into the race and develop experience.
I will go over a few key variables in distance that can give you some bullets in your gun next time in your horse racing betting adventure
