Racing Tips for Epsom Races
Keep an eye on the weather forecast. Epsom Race Course is known for its undulating terrain, which can be affected by rain and other weather conditions. This can have a significant impact on a horse's performance, so it's important to consider the weather when making your bets.
Pay attention to the form of the horses. Look for horses that have consistently performed well in their past races and have a good track record at Epsom Race Course. You can find this information in the form guide, which is usually available online or in the racecard on the day of the race.
Consider the going. The "going" refers to the condition of the track, and it can vary from race to race. Some horses perform better on soft or heavy going, while others prefer firm or good ground. Make sure to check the going before making your bets.
Look at the jockeys and trainers. The jockey and trainer can have a big impact on a horse's performance, so it's worth considering their track record and any recent successes they may have had.
Consider the distance of the race. Some horses are better suited to longer distances, while others excel at shorter distances. Make sure to check the distance of the race and consider whether the horse you're betting on has a good record at that distance.
