If you are interested in making some money as a horseplayer, then it is important to note that you must be able to access the result tables and race entries. This is the easiest method you can employ in order to find out the past results of a horse, and to calculate your actual odds of winning the wager. If you are currently living in North America, then you can find out all there is to know about the horses that enter the competitions and the results from the Equibase website.
What is great about Equibase is that it provides end results and changes in entry charters across the continent. Moreover, you can choose to see the past month or week’s results in PDF formats or directly on their website. An alternative to Equibase race results and entries are the DRF Race Results, DRF Entries and DRF Stakes Results, which present the evolution and performance of the horses you are interested in and their main competitors for the past two months. These are provided in PDF or html format. Even though the charts are free of charge, you are required to create an account on the DRF website in order to access them.
