The Roots of Horse Racing
Horse races, today popular throughout most of
the Western world as well as in other areas, were probably
contested as early as 1500 B.C. in Egypt. The roots of
harness racing extend back at least to early Greece, where
chariot races were a part of the Olympic games. In the
Roman era the chariot race became an entertainment for
the masses; the Circus Maximus seated over 200,000 spectators.
The constant and widespread desire for faster and stronger
horses for work, military use, and sport led to the development
of several specially bred strains. In the American colonies,
horse racing's appeal was evident in the 17th cent. Informal
races, often held on busy roads, gave way by century's
end to formal contests at racetracks. Although racing
waned during the Revolutionary period, it regained popularity
afterward, and in 1823 a North-South challenge drew 60,000
spectators to Long Island's Union Course (N.Y.) for a
contest of three four-mile heats between two horses.

| UK Horse Racing is a racing advisory service which offers
an unique outlook to racing. Our selection methods are
based upon advanced pure mathematics. We have a large
number of databases and software tools, which we have
written over the last three years, at our command. Our
databases go back to the start of 1996 and we're always
on the search for more information. Our methods make a
profit. If we're asked to describe our methodology then
we'd declare that we look for the top rated horse in each
race and if the horse's estimated chance of winning is
sufficiently greater than the price on offer then this
will be mentioned. This means that over a period of time
the income received from the selections will exceed the
investment |
