GOLDEN SLIPPER DAY
Master and Doctor will be Singing in the Rain

Melbourne, 03 April 2009 - As the rain tumbles down in Sydney, so too does the price of Melbourne Cup winner Viewed ($2.30) in this Saturday's BMW Stakes at Rosehill. "His wet rack form is attractive, however the price is not worth taking in my opinion," said IASbet.com bookmaker Mark Read. "Theseo is exposed in the conditions and also has to be taken on by bookmakers. Given the state of the track, I believe Master O'Reilly ($7.00) is a credible chance in this event."

Read again leans to value in the Golden Slipper Stakes, "Manhattan Rain ($11.00), with the blinkers back on, is right in this race. His draw allows him to race on pace, whilst the favourites are out at the back of the field. He finished exceptionally strong in the Skyline Stakes and has an each way chance at attractive odds."

Renowned for producing Doncaster Handicap winners, the George Ryder Stakes is more open than the field presents on paper. "I am opposing All Silent ($4.40) at IASbet.com for a significant amount," stated Read. "His form on wet going is not strong, nor is his price. I would also be cautious of backing Whobegotyou ($3.40), who is yet to prove his worth is this type of going."

Amongst the three-year-old races, Read advises punters to continue avoiding the short odds on offer. "Predatory Pricer ($2.50) failed on a heavy track and is way under the odds in the Tulloch Stakes, inversely Dr Doutes ($5.00) was a dominant winner in slow going and strips very fit for this race. While I think she will be hard to beat in the AJC Oaks, Gallica ($2.90) is poor value in the Vinery Stud Stakes, given her barrier and the heavy track."

Horse racing is an equestrian sport that has been practiced over the centuries; the chariot races of Roman times are an early example, as is the contest of the steeds of the god Odin and the giant Hrungnir in Norse mythology. It is inextricably associated with gambling. The common sobriquet for Thoroughbred horse racing is The Sport of Kings.One of the principal forms of horse racing, which is popular in many parts of the world, is Thoroughbred racing. Harness racing for Standardbred horses is also popular in Australia, New Zealand, the eastern United States and more popular than Thoroughbred racing in Canada and parts of Europe. Thoroughbred racing is done on the flat or over jumps, as steeplechasing or hurdles races. Quarter horse racing is also popular in the western United States and Florida. Racing with purebred Arabian horses exists in several states in the United States, as well as in most of Europe and the Middle East. This form of racing is known as endurance racing.The different types of racing all concern different breeds of horses. The Thoroughbred races moderate distances at very fast paces. The Standardbred horses use their ability to race in harness at a trot or pace instead of under saddle at a gallop. The Quarter Horse is involved in short distance sprinting while the Arabian is involved in endurance racing. These four different breeds of horses possess different muscle structures that make them suitable for their type of racing. These horses race on various track surfaces ranging from dirt to a synthetic surface such as viscoride or polytrack. The breeding, training and racing of horses in many countries is now a significant economic activity as, to a greater extent, is the gambling industry which is largely supported by it. The time invested in training these horses is extensive and varies according to the type of race the horse is involved in. Exceptional horses can win millions of dollars and might make millions more by providing stud services, such as horse breeding.

Horse racing in South Korea traces back to May 1898, when a foreign language institute run by the government included a donkey race in its athletic rally. However, this type of racing was sponsored for entertainment purposes only. No betting was conducted. It was in 1920s that "Modern Horse Racing" involving a betting system made its debut. In 1922, the Chosun Racing Club, the nation's first-ever authorized horse racing club, was established to make horse racing more systematic and better organized. In 1923, the pari-mutuel betting system was officially adopted for the first time in Korea. The Sinseol-dong racecourse opened in 1928 and incorporated racing clubs were allowed to have their own racecourses.
