The $6 million Classic is deservedly the marquee betting event of the two-day Breeders’ Cup program, but the 2019 running doesn’t look like one of the strongest renewals. But that’s OK, as the lack of star power should translate to a wide-open betting race that offers the chance of rich rewards.

Understand horse racing odds and bet types

The serious gambler is always looking for that edge, and in horse racing studying the form is essential: how the horse runs at that track or over that distance; form of the trainer; whether the horse has been trained for that particular race.

Your knowledge decides your bet.

The straight win is the simplest with odds on each horse. Also popular in horse racing online gambling is the show and so-called place bets: you pick a horse to finish in the first three for a show bet, or the first two for a place bet.

If you fancy a short-priced favorite and want to improve the odds you can bet on a forecast, or perfecta, where you pick horses to finish first and second. For the more adventurous a first three tricast – where you pick the first, second and third horse – offers attractive odds but more chances of slipping up. You can bet a reverse forecast, RF, or quinella, for more chances of winning, meaning your two picks can finish first and second in either order. A RF costs double, a $2 RF costs $4.

If you want to increase the odds dramatically you can have an accumulator bet: a double, treble, or even bigger when you pick a winner in two, three or more races. There are numerous types of combination bets so it is important you know how to read horse racing odds like 4 or 5,.

Known as the sport of kings, horse racing appeals to all parts of society from the office janitor to the chairman of the board. It doesn’t matter if you’re betting on a six-furlong handicap at Ayr in Scotland or the Kentucky Derby in the USA, the thrill can be just the same if your pick hits the finish line first.

Racing horses goes back to the ancient world, with archaeological records indicating examples in Ancient Greece and Egypt. Chariot racing was one of the most popular Greek, Roman and Byzantine sports, with events at the ancient Olympic Games in 648BC.

Many of the big British horse races were established in the 18^th century; the St Leger the oldest of the ‘so-called’ classics, 1776, and the first Derby run four years later.

It was a century later when the American Stud Book, ASB, prompted the beginning of organized horse racing in the US.

While the first US racetrack is believed to have been constructed on Long Island in 1665, horse racing only really took off when the ASB was created in 1868. By 1890 there 314 tracks across the US.

The Triple Crown of US racing is the Kentucky Derby, established in 1875, the Preakness Stakes (1873) and the Belmont Stakes (1867). There have been 13 occasions when one horse has won all three, the most recent Justify in 2018.

TV coverage of US Triple Crown is on ABC with Fox also showing live racing.
