21 "races". 19 are Handicaps!!!!!! This shows you where were at. Let's rope as many dopes as we can. Anyone with a working brain cell will not be having a bet tomorrow. 3 all weather meetings to boot. Not worth watching. A dream scenario for the crookies. Live on itv. No thanks. Be strong. Don't bet on these lottery races.

Yep. How were they allowed ruin it. These types of handicaps are clearly for mugs. I wonder did the crookies have anything to do with this lol..

Choose the races that you are comfortable with and ignore the rest. Do you enjoy every music record you hear? It is Good Friday tomorrow. There wasn't any GB racing on that day until recently so ignore it.

11 years ago there was no racing on Good Friday!

Chelmsford is sold out, £1m prize money at Newcastle and Vase Day at Lingfiled.

Some folk are never happy.

Funny how its just the ARC owned racecourses that race on Good Friday.

Never happy, or just too easily pleased? Take your pick.

Why would prize money make any difference to how you punt/view the races? A fair few of the ticket sales will be down to day out merchants who probably couldn't give two hoots about the quality/difficulty of the races.
By:

The prize money is a fair indication of the quality on offer. Be positive, there are still many of us that will attend a days racing because of the quality. However the game will always need the 'day out' merchants to attend when they want, its always been that way.

Will the OP kindly let us know what type of Horse Racing we should be betting on? Should we even bet this Bank Holiday weekend? Maybe he can show us his betting records and we can see what type of Horse Racing is most profitable and then we can follow him in..........

The better the quality the more likely I am to bet on it. Not necessarily just prize money and some of the races tomorrow are worth far more than the quality justifies. Lingfield 4.25. A class 4 fillies handicap, top weight rated 79 but £45000 in prize money. Good business for owners and trainers but no better than many £10000 races midweek. Won't be going near it.

The OP is correct from a general punting perspective. This is fodder put on by the bookies for the bookies. It's almost impossible to have strong opinions on the races and the percentages in favour of the bookies will no doubt be pretty large. For those attending on course and the general betting shop/casual punter the odds are more stacked against them. Punters have been hoodwinked to believe that big fields and handicaps with 5/1+ the field are the best races to bet on because it suits the bookies that everyone believes that. In reality for the average punter it's the worst thing they could be betting on. Higher percentages and lottery type races only suit the bookies. Of course a  few smart punters will enjoy this typeof  racing and make money from it but the truth remains that these races are exactly what bookies want to make the most profit.

if you can't work out why you might  back a horse in a 50k race but not in the same race worth 5k you clearly should give up gambling. If racing was run to suit sageform etc then it would be him and his mates at the course and thats it - they'd be happy but sod everyone else.

Chelmsford card is probably the best for me today. Those cards at Lingfield and Newcastle are far too hard.

And there you have it in a nutshell. For years I've read books and articles that tell us to stick to the "better" races where horses are more consistent. And I have years of records to prove that that is the worst advice anybody can ever take. These races are ultra competitive. Far better to look for races with plenty of bad horses that on all known form will struggle to win. Obviously some of those will win, and you'll lose on that race when they do, but not nearly as often as you will picking the wrong one of nine or ten trained to the minute to try for their lives to win a big handicap, with all of them having shown enough to suggest that they are well capable of doing so.

I wouldn't cross the road to watch some of those handicaps in the higher class. But good opportunity for the layers though.
