Horse trotting is an elegant form of horse racing, whereby a trotting horse pulls a rider around the track. In the US it's known as harness racing. As with all horse-based sports, and just like horse racing, it's perfectly possible to take part in trotting betting. You'll need to keep an eye on the same factors that are important for successful bets as you'd find in regular horse racing. This means noting the horse's racing history and health, weather conditions, the trainer and the rider.

There's much more to betting on the horses than simply picking the most likely winner. One major factor that will have a huge influence on the outcome of any horse race is the prevailing weather conditions. Though sunny and dry conditions are the most ideal there's still a lot of racing that happens either during or after considerable rainfall. Many punters might think they can beat the bookies by studying the horse's previous performances on a wet track. But the bookie has this priced in.
