Influence on society and economy

 

  Hello! This blog is final article at last. I tell you various things about horse racing. So you understand “What is horse racing?” and system of horse racing. You can already join the race, and you can buy the betting ticket! But this time I tell you influence on society and economy because horse racing is important in society and economy. You may not know horse racing is important in society and economy, so I tell you that.

  JRA pay national treasury 10% of benefit (275 billion in 2008), so if it were not for horse racing in japan, national budget is hurt. In addition, economy of not only nation but also area is hurt. For example, Fukushima race track could not held races because of Tohoku earthquake (March 11^th, 2011). So contribution from JRA decreased sharply and industry around the Fukushima race track was given damage. Moreover Fukushima race track was polluted by radioactive substances. Number of people who came to the Fukushima race track is 280 thousand and amount sold was 6.9 billion yen in 2010, so influence on economy was several hundreds of millions of yen. However, in 2011, amount sold decrease sharply; as a result economy of the area is given big damage. On April 7^th 2012, race began at Fukushima race track and Fukushima horse racing is resumed. In 2011, settlement of JRA was deficit, and amount of financial deficit is 10.6 billion yen.

  In addition, sales of horse racing decrease and decrease. Please look this picture.

(figure1) amount of sold

Racing operated by the Japan Racing Association (JRA) is still vibrant but municipally operated racing is not vibrant. So it is important that horse racing, especially municipally operated racing liven up.

  So we should liven up horse racing. By the way, what should we do? Please look this picture.

(figure2) people who come to race track

Like this, there are two booms in history. these are around 1975 and around 1995. Those two booms are caused by Star Horses for example Haiseiko, Oguri Cap, and etc. So if star horse is birth, people who come to race track may increase. Furthermore, JRA has to catch a new customer, so they should think various events in order to liven up horse racing.

Like this, horse racing has a big influence on society and economy, and JRA has to liven up dispirited horse racing. Economy of Japan is harsh conditions so it is important to liven up horse racing. This time I tell you influence on society and economy, so you may understand how horse racing important is. It is essential for economy of Japan. You already know horse racing. Do you have interest in horse racing? I am happy if you have interest in horse racing. At first, please watch horse races on Internet. It is really interesting! At last, I introduce my favorite race video.

Is it interesting? Horse racing has many dreams and I want you to know interest of horse racing. Thank you and good bye.

The way of buying winning ticket

  Hello! Last time, I introduce several kind of the betting ticket. So you already know system of the betting ticket, but you do not know how to buy the betting ticket and winning ticket. This time I introduce those way.

 

  At first, you should know how to buy the betting ticket. Ways of buying the ticket is following.

1.    In race track

2.    In WINS

3.    In Internet

In race track, you can find a window or a ticket machine like this.

(Figure 1: window)

(Figure 2: ticket machine)

 

If race track is far, it is hard for you to go to race track. If that is the case, you should go to WINS to buy the betting tickets.

What’s WINS? WINS is where you can buy the betting ticket and can get dividend. In WINS, there is a big monitor and you can watch all horse races there.

Internet become common rapidly, so many people can use the Internet. Recently, we can buy the betting ticket on Internet, so we can buy it easier. If you buy the betting ticket on Internet, you must have bank account.

  But watching horse races in race track is the most exciting. If you want to be exciting, you should go to a race track. If you want to buy the betting ticket easier, using Internet is recommended. In WINS and Window, you must write mark sheet when you buy the betting ticket. There are many types, so you should pay attention.

I think you understand how to buy the betting ticket. So next, I introduce how to buy the winning ticket.

 There is a lot of information in horse racing. In order to win the race, you must know which information is important. Important information is following.

1. Data of the race

2. The weight which horses bear

3. Performance of horses

4. Jockeys riding on horses

5. Result of training of horses (physical condition)

6. Weight of horses

I usually expect race using those points. As you know, performance of horses is important. However, if physical condition of a horse which has lower potential than other horses is good, the horse may possibly win. Horses have proper distance, so if a strong horse whose proper distance is 1600m take part in 2400m race, the horse cannot always win the race. It is just like sprinter and long distance runner in track and field. Moreover, skillful Jockeys are like to win the race, so they relate that horse win or lose a race. In race, there is a race in which the weight which horses bear is different each horse.

This time I tell you the place where we buy the betting ticket and knowledge of horse racing which must be needed to buy the winning ticket. I cannot tell you all information about horse racing, but you may understand a little. If you have interest on horse racing, you should examine for horse racing. Next, my last blog is influence on society. Horse racing have a big influence on the society and economy. See you again!

The betting ticket

  Hello! I talked you about various things which relate to horse racing by now, for example about history, jockey, horses, and races. These things are very important and essential for horse racing, but in horse racing, the most important thing is still not introduced. The most important thing is exactly the betting ticket!! This is essential in horse racing and if it were not for betting ticket, horse racing is not so interesting as it is now. So, I talk you about it from now on. In betting tickets, dividing roughly, there are six types how to buy it.

  At first, I’ll introduce a win ticket. A win ticket which is “Tansyou” in Japanese is choosing the first place horse. This is recommendation to beginner. 

 Next is placing bets. This is “Fukusyou” in Japanese and choosing horse which is the first place or second place or third place. This is the easiest betting ticket, but this is also the betting ticket which can get the lowest dividend. It is low risk low return.

  I introduce the betting ticket which chooses one horse. There are choosing two horses in the betting ticket.

  Exacta, in Japanese “Umatann”, is the betting ticket which is choosing the first place horse and the second place horse in order of arrival. This betting ticket is harder than Win or Place because Exacta is the betting ticket which chooses two horses. So odds of Exacta are likely to rise and odds of Exacta more over 50 times is often for Exacta.

  Exacta is the betting ticket which chooses two horses in order of arrival. On the other hand, there is Quinella in Japanese “Umaren”. What is Quinella? It is the betting ticket which chooses the first place horse and second place horse in no particular order. So it is easier to win than Exacta.

  For example, if the first place horse’s number is 1 and the second place horse’s number is 2, in Quinella the betting ticket which is choosing 1 and 2 is win, and in Exacta the betting ticket which is choosing 1 to 2(1→2) is only win. The betting ticket which is choosing 2 to 1(2→1) is miss.

  Next, I introduce the betting ticket which is choosing three horses which get a place.

  Trio in Japanese “San-Renpuku” is the betting ticket which choosing combination of the first and the second and the third place horses. 

This is choosing combination of three horses, but Triffecta in Japanese “San-Rentan” is choosing three horses in order of arrival. This is very hard to win, and moreover odds of it is often to exceed 100 times. It has Roman.

Other than that above, there are Bracket Quinella and Quinella place in the betting ticket. Bracket means place of start. Look this. 

These tickets is easy to imagine from name.

Bracket Quinella is choosing 1^st place horse’s bracket number and 2^nd place horse’s bracket number. Quinella place is choosing two horses which is 1^st or 2^nd or 3^rd. Like this, there are many types in the betting ticket. Next, I introduce how to buy the winning ticket. Bye!

The media

  Hello. A while ago, on December 9^th 2012, a horse whose name is “Riyand-Famiyu” made him debut in horse racing. He is Orfevre’s younger brother, so he became the center of public attention. However on January 19^th 2013, he participated in a race, and he broke his paw! I expected him and was going to enjoy watching his race, but I was shocked because of his fracture. He came in first in the race, so I was glad of the result, but the shocking news had a strong influence on a lot of fans of horse racing.

Last time, I introduce retired horses especially “Deep Impact”, and “Silence Suzuka”. Because such horses had an influence on society, many media emphasize the thing which is related to horse racing. For example, newspaper, video game, and comic is good example.

In newspaper, there are many race cards which list of horses which participate in a race, and there is also newspaper reporter’s forecast, and so on. It is important for our forecast to watch these newspapers. There may be nice advice in the newspaper.

Next, in comic, “Midori no Makibao-“ is the most famous comics in japan. It was started 1994 to 1997, hero is certain horse whose name is “Midori no Makibao-“. I do not read this comic, so I want to read these comics. This comic was televising as anime, and the game which is based on this comic was sold.

In video games, one of the most famous video games are “Winning Post” and “Derby Stallion” and so on. These game is horse racing series and sales of these games is fantastic! In these games we can bread horses and can participate in races, that is to say, we can become a horse trainer and a jockey. I have played these games, therefore it is interesting and excite me! In game center, there are many game of horse racing which we forecast win horses.

These media cause boom of horse racing too. So horse cause the first boom, and next these media cause the second boom.

I, however, enjoy forecasting horses which win real race. It is more exciting than video games.

As stated above, horse racing and horses which play an active part vigorously have an effect on society. It is very fantastic! So the more popular horse racing and horses which play an active part vigorously are, the more revitalize the economy was.

This time I introduced the media. It has another aspect of horse racing. We tend to concentrate horse racing only but I want you to know that there are many aspect of horse racing, and horse racing has an effect on the economy. Next time, at last, I introduce betting ticket, so I tell you how to buy winning ticket. This topic is as expected main point of horse racing and I am very interested in this topic. To buy winning ticket, several things (for example weight and condition and so on) are important and need. Please expect next topic. Good Bye!
