How to bet at horse races
I am invited to horse races at Del Mar. Never have been to one and it sounds exciting.
However, I will be amongst some of the horsie set and I do not want to appear as the rube I am. So, what is a good strategy that I can comprehend? I know there is no system, but what is cheap and fun with, or course, a life-altering payoff? I know there are smart people here that know this stuff, so post up!

Find name you like, go to window, pay $2 and say horses name and "Win".
You can also go to the stalls and check the horse feces before the race, that's the best way to pick a winner, I'm told. Look for the horse who makes the largest poo. It only makes sense that he/she will run the fastest...

I usually bet on the jockey and never a favorite. Also never bet win/place/show on horses. Look at the horses, know that there is an experienced jockey and bet on the 5-1 horses and above. Don't be afraid to spend a bet to win on a 15-1 horse if all the cards add up.
Have fun...

LOL...Bet on the jockey who did not have time to pee. If you want to fix the race buy the jockey a few beers and keep him from the bathroom prior to race time.

I look at the race program before I go to the track find three horses (say its 3 5 7 in the first race) in each race that have late speed or are racing out of class like aa horse in single a race then box em (bet a 3 5 7 box) "never bet what u cant lose and dont plan to win
 have a drink and have some fun. That part isnt complicated lol

 Also, if you are in the turf club, take a minute and go to the balcony and check out the horses. The CEO has done very well at Del Mar betting on just gray horses.
