As far as recommendations go, the top jocks in the standings are usually very reliable and any of them are quite capable. I ride for one of my teammates, Grange Park and do all of the riding for my stable. It’s been a battle getting the right instructions for the longer races but I’m getting more consistent each passing day. I like to review my races and see what (if anything) went wrong. Sometimes you just don’t have the horse to do it. Other times, I might have pressed too much too early and then ran out of gas late. I make a notation in a horse’s comment box if needed to remind myself to change something for the next race.<\/p>\n
Once everything is in place, you need to find a race for your horse. It’s probably best to turn that horse around into a race similar to what it just was claimed from. You can find some decent horses in the claimers that can race at higher levels, but the majority are at the place they need to be right now in order to stay competitive. A 1 Euro claimer might be competitive in a 2 Euro claimer, but chances are it won’t fare well in a non-claiming ‘Without Handicap’ type of race. There’s nothing wrong with claiming a horse for a price and racing it right back at the same level next time around. If you can move it up a notch or two price wise and still finish in the money, even better.<\/p>\n
Find a solid and consistent horse, place it in the right spot and you’ll soon have your first win at Newturf. It was an exhilarating experience for me and one that I look forward to repeating on a daily basis. 70+ wins later, it’s still a rush to see my guys cross the wire first. Especially in the longer races.<\/p>\n
Well that\u2019s all for now. Hope to see you on the track at Newturf!<\/p>\n
