Horse Race Handicapping Article
The world of horse race handicapping is complex with many variables. Most handicappers are aware of the importance of time-tested data on speed and past performances. What most handicappers do not know is that a new kind of data has become available. This data, generated through a process called "equine biomechanics" assigns metrics to various aspects of horse race handicapping athleticism.
Specialized analysts inspect race tapes, collecting over 50 individual observations per horse race handicapping for each race. It can take up to eight hours for a trained individual to analyze a single race. The data points are then grouped into categories such as coordination, aerobic efficiency, stride quality and endurance. In each category, each horse race handicapping is assigned a metric based on the data compiled. In addition to creating a quantitative measure for the purpose of comparison, the metrics can also be used to illustrate trends in performance.
While biomechanical measurement is a new development in horse race handicapping racing, it has become an accepted practice in other sports. Trainers and recruiters for the National Football League, Major League Baseball and for Olympic athletes use biomechanical measurements to dissect athletic performance and ability. The NFL Combine is one of the most recognized applications of biomechanical measurement. At the NFL Combine, players perform a series of drills and tests in which their performance is measured.
In the horse race handicapping racing industry, the practice of using biomechanics was first introduced by breeders. One company that has successfully used biomechanics in breeding is Monticule Farm. The best know, and most successful horse race handicapping from Monticule Farm has been Big Brown, winner of the 2008 Kentucky Derby and 2008 Preakness Stakes.
