Nothing better than to take a 30-1 shot and try and win with him...but it is a lot easier with a 3/5 shot

Its tough at first. Just notice how each race is run and you'll catch on eventually. Be a front runner that needs the lead, take him to the front by 3-5 lengths, then slow him down. Let the other horses gain on you, let a few even pass you a few lengths. Pounce with about 3 furlongs to go, and it should give you enough gas to get home clear.

Time to get my 4-5 hours of daily shut eye.

Okay I'm addicted now that you people have shown me this. I only wish I had money for the interesting races like the BC. I'm cheap

What would be awesome is if you can take this game online and each horse was controlled by a human online, like they do for most shooting games and whatnot. And then before and after the race you can smack talk to each other. I'd pay good money for that!
