Racecards
Racecards are essential components of horse racing, providing vital data on the horses and races at each racecourse. They display each horse’s name, colored silks, or saddlecloth number as well as figures displaying form or recent performance – important clues that can help you pick a winner from among many contenders. You may notice letters such as C or D next to a horse’s name which indicate whether it has won at this course or over a certain distance before. A comprehensive guide to reading these details can be found at the front of each racecard.
