What Is A Route Race In Horse Racing

By: Richard Bleuze

I get asked several times to define what a route race is in horse racing.  This is not an article, but just information that the industry defines.

It is a well excepted fact in this country that anything at a mile or over regardless of turns in a horse race is called a route race that is why in condition books when assigning weights there is all ways the clause "at a mile or over" as to not penalize horses in route races for wins going short.

 A FEW TIPS TO CONSIDER

1.  Some of the best horse racing results can be had during the week when the fields are typically smaller and it takes little time to place some wagers.
2.  Learn about the horses as well as the jockeys. In horse racing both are of major importance when it comes to crossing the finish line.
3.  When you place your bet, what others say or the hype surrounding a team should not be what sways you. Check into where the team came from, how long they have been racing and even what class they moved up from and when.
4.  Research the track.  The track itself can change the way a race goes. There are different textures, different temperatures and even different lengths.
5.  When it comes to horse racing one of the most valuable tips you can follow is to learn more about the sport.  Know the participants and the location.  Use this information to put together your best bet for the next race.
