Step 1
The first step is to look at the horses running the current race. See which horse looks physically fit. When they parade the horses in front of you, take that to your advatage. Look at each horses stance and choose which ever looks like it will run a smooth race.
Look at each horses legs. Are they muscular or bony? Never pick a horse that looks a few pounds overwieght. -
Step 2
The second step is to open your racing form and search for the current race. By now, you should know which horse you like, and also a few others that looked like winners. Look at the horse you first picked. If the odds are high, go with your next choice. My advice, only go for high odds if you are willing to risk some money. Lower odds are, most of the time, a sure thing.

Step 3
When you figured out the horse you want, go to the betting window 2 minutes before post time. The reason for going up so late is that, up until it is post time, the odds on all the horses can change.

Step 4
Now, for the final step. Betting. My advice to you is to bet small. When I'm low on money, I usually bet a good horse for a few dollars across the board. What this means is that I choose a certain horse to either win the race, come in second, or even comme in third. If you want to bet $2 across the board, the total would come out to $6. $2 to win, $2 to place, and $2 to show.
