Skilled bettors know how to read a racing form and pull the critical information from it that helps with the handicapping process. To beginning and most amateur bettors, a racing form can be difficult to read, but knowing what to look for makes a real difference. A daily racing form offers detailed information on the horses scheduled to run on a given day and can help even beginning bettors choose strong candidates for wins. Once you know what basic information to look for, it becomes much easier to handicap how a horse is likely to perform against its competitors.
