Harness Racing Longshot Winners Often Have One Thing in Common
There is nothing quite like the thrill of cashing a winning ticket on a longshot at the harness races. The reason is that they are so hard to come by, even though long shots do win every day and almost every card will have at least one race that produces one.
The problem is that a lot of harness races are won by favorites or low priced winners. The reason is the consistency of the breed and the way harness races shape up. This is especially true on half mile tracks and five eighths mile tracks where post position is so critical. Just betting the long shots is financial suicide. So what do you look for to find a good long shot bet?
As crazy as it may sound, inconsistency is a good place to start. There are a lot of talented Standardbreds that win once in a while but often get beaten by inferior horses. The reason may be a chronic physical problem like lameness, or a problem with their heads and desire.
Many good trainers and drivers will tell you they don't know when a horse will give you a good race or throw in a listless effort. It is very frustrating to know you have a horse with great potential that refuses to give his or her best most of the time. It is also equally as frustrating to know that if your horse is healthy and feeling good, it can beat anything else in the race but to also know it isn't at its best and will probably get beaten.
Sometimes, however, a trainer does know his horse is ready and has overcome a problem, at least enough to win a race or two. Many times, you will see an inconsistent horse moving up in class off a dull effort. When you see such a situation, the first step is to check out the trainer and to see if he or she is competent. When a good trainer makes this move it often signals a big race for the horse.
It also usually means a big price. However, when such a horse moves up and gets any action at all in the pools, you can bet that the trainer and the "in" crowd are onto the horse and expect a good race. Keeping a list of trainers who make this move and knowing how to watch the pools to spot inside money will often help you to find a good long shot bet at the harness races.

Do you think trainers in Harness Racing care at all about the horses?
i know some do but what about the ones who kick them in the guts, or put them in cans if the horse doesnt peform?
I am in the industry myself and have seen this.
I'm a young harness racing trainer myself, and this question is completly ignorent. What kind of stupid question is this? And have you, yourself actually seen a trainer kick a horse in the guts? or have you just heard that is what we do? Chances are you have only heard of this. I'm after seeing equestrian riders whip the hell out of their horses when they refuse to jump over barriers, whip to a excesive amount and also see alot of equestrian facilitys and its like wow, you guys actually judge us? Alot of race horses get treated better then most humans get treated, they have their own groom who is with them 24/7 they have their own dentist, their own farrier, their own trailer, get all the vitimens and supplements they need, and treated amazing, and of course theres the group of ignorent people who can treat their horses very bad, but in those cases the horses are usually taken from the owner and the owner charged. so before you label a question "Do you think trainers in harness racing care at all about the horses" you should get your facts right, just cause you heard we do, dont judge every single trainer in the world, that is super lame. How would you like someone saying to you, "Equestrian guys really beat their horses and dont feed them, man your all the same" sucks right?
