Finding Good Horse Racing Trainers

By Kristen Baird


Owning a race worthy animals is an exciting experience. There is just nothing to compare with a day at the races cheering on your own horses to a winning finish. But behind all the fun there is a tremendous amount of work and expense. Working with a really good trainer is the best way to ensure successful race horses. These professionals really understand the business and know how to pick a winner.

Some horses are specially bred to race on the flat, whilst other have more substance and can handle the physical challenge of fences. Whichever disciple is chosen it is vital to find the very best horse racing trainers. These are seasoned professionals who really know their job and what to look for in a good thoroughbred. They will also have to make the decision of when to run the horses and what distance they will do best with. Some animals are born sprinters whilst others have more stamina and prefer a longer race.

A prospective owner should spend time learning about the important bloodlines in racing. There are certain lines that have produced many winners whilst other stallions and their offspring have not been so successful. Spending time on the race course with some knowledgeable friends is also a great way to get an inside track on the horses and their trainers.

Thoroughbreds are carefully bred from the best blood lines. Finding horses that are from winning lines is fairly easy, however, most will come with a hefty price tag. It is a good idea to look at young unproven animals as they will be priced lower. Once the horses have won a few races or shown good potential their price shoots up dramatically.

After doing their homework properly a new owner should have a good idea about who they want to train their horses. They can then set up a meeting at the stable. This will give them an opportunity to see all the facilities. Most places now have an all weather gallop which means that horses can keep training no matter what the weather.

A good barn will also have plenty of well fenced turn out areas so the horses can relax and enjoy some grass to eat. Even a valuable race animal needs time outside to stretch his legs and play. Many of the top horses have a small donkey or even a goat as a companion. This is a huge help to keeping them psychologically happy, but reduces the risk of injury from a kick or bite.

Personality really does matter in the racing game. It is important to have a really good connection with the trainer. After all this is the person trusted with the well being of a very valuable animal.

Race day is full of excitement for horses, trainers and owners. Everyone wants to win and when their horse passing the finishing post in first place all the effort pays off. Not only that, but the animal will increase in value and become more desirable as a stud horse. Blood lines are very important in the racing world and totally affect the value of every horse.
