A Profitable Day At The Track: 5 Tips For Betting On Horses

1. Medication 

Unlike professional sports where the supplements taken by the athletes largely remain unknown, horse racing is very open about it. You can find the medication a horse has recently taken by simply checking online to see what it is marked with. In the sport, there are really two main types of medication, Lasix and Bute. Horses either need Bute to perform, or can’t perform on the drug. So, if a horse has previously ran well while taking Bute and is off Bute for an upcoming race, it’s likely their performance will suffer.

With Lasix it’s different; almost every horse using the drug for the very first time will receive a significant boost in performance. So, by finding horses that have recently been given the drug, it’s yet another way to enhance your own odds at predicting that horse’s performance. Because of its ability to predict potential outcomes, a horse’s medication is our number one best tip for betting on horses.
