If you are something of a horse racing betting novice and you are preparing to visit a U.S. racetrack in the near future, it might be a good idea to dedicate some time to impressing your friends or family members by learning how to read a racecard. A racecard exists to outline all the available information a bettor needs to make an informed betting decision on every race scheduled during a single race meeting. Without it, you might as well be betting on the horse whose name or jockey silks you like best.
