UK Horse Racing Tips

I know of a fellow who has the knack of being able to spot potential in a horse by appearance alone. He’ll stand near the parade ring before a race, say that he likes the look of one particular horse, then often come race time often it will storm home in first place, sometimes at generous odds. It’s certainly possible for some to see the tiniest difference in the appearance of thoroughbred horses on race day, when the rest of us are oftem left scratching our heads. With that is mind, here are two horses you’re never likely to confuse for one another.

A friend recently pointed me towards an entertaining online article relating to Einstein. No, not the German-born theoretical physicist , but instead the smallest horse on earth. Born in Barnstead, New Hampshire, Einstein weighed in at only 6lb and stood just 14 inches tall. Despite that, by all accounts it seems that he’s a lively little fellow, bringing a smile to the face of all those who see him. His breeders are hopeful that he’ll get to to lay claim to the Guinesss Book of World Records title of smallest horse, making it official. So while I doubt many bookies quaking in their boots at the sight of this little guy, he’ll hold a worthwhile distinction all the same.

Taking it to the opposite extreme below is an image of Brooklyn Supreme. This magnificent Stallion is thought to have weighed in at over 3,200 pounds and was 6 foot 6 inches tall. His appearance was so unique, that he was exhibited around the country, with eager onlookers willing to pay 10 cents a piece to see him. A not inconsiderable sum at the time – the 1930s.
