Dog Racing Tips – Breakers and Route Races

3348613532 b82b2b4196 m Dog Racing Tips   Breakers and Route Races

In previous articles, I’ve mentioned that I like breakers in route races. Many people don’t, because they think that long races favor closers, not breakers. This is true. Dogs that can close at the end of the race are more likely to be in the money.

But the beginning of the race, where breakers get out ahead of the pack, often decides who’s there at the end of the race. In other words, dogs who break and then have enough stamina to hang in long enough to close at the end, are really favored in long races.

Thoroughbred Horse Racing History

2828791467 be222e28d8 m Thoroughbred Horse Racing History

Horse racing has existed in various forms for at least 3,000 years. It was one of the sporting events held during the ancient Greek Olympic Games. Horses were raced with riders on their backs and also with chariots. The earliest racehorses were of Barb and Arabian descent, and were suited for long distance racing.

Today, the primary breed used is the thoroughbred, which is descended from Arabian stock. In fact, all registered and purebred thoroughbreds in the world today can be traced back to one of the three founding sires. These stallions were the Godolphin Arabian, the Darley Arabian and the Byerly Turk.
