yeah, of course there are horse racing in other countries.
This one from US and it's one about The Presidents Cup, apparently US equivalent to Melbourne Cup
I got it from http://www.horseracing.com
The Presidents Cup is a Group 1 event for pure bred Arabian horses and was hosted at the Abu Dhabi Equestrian Club over the weekend. It has a purse amount of Dh1 million and is seen as one of the most prestigious events for Arab horses. Numerous worthy contenders took on the 2 200 meter challenge, but only one horse could reign supreme, namely Seraphin Du Paon. Even though this talented five-year-old is undoubtedly a very successful athlete, participating in such a huge event was still a gamble as it was only his sixth career start.
Seraphin Du Paon is trained by Philippe Barbe at the Al Asayl just outside Abu Dhabi, and is owned by Sheik Khaifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Barbe contacted jockey Olivier Peslier to ride Seraphin Du Paon in the 2011 Presidents Cup. Peslier had never raced in Abu Dhabi before, but was not fazed by the fact that the 2008 winner, Dynamite, and 2009 winner, Nirwan, were also in the line-up. He went out to ride his own race, and together with Seraphin Du Paon's determination and speed, the duo looked to be in a league of their own as they headed towards the finish line. They completed the race in a time of 2:29:02, and Rabah De Carre had to settle for second place, with Nieshan crossing the finish line in third. Peslier was extremely happy with the performance of his horse, stating that: "It has been a great first visit obviously and I look forward to coming back. The horse has really done well and I was always happy throughout."
Barbe spoke to the press in regard to the future of Seraphine Du Paon, saying: "We will see how he has come out of this race and if we plan to run him again this season, it will be in the Kahayla Classic." The Kahayla Classic is run on the Dubai World Cup Night and hosted by the Meydan Racecourse. He went on to say that they will have handle their horse very carefully from now on, as he is still young and has proven that he has much potential to develop into an even greater racehorse with a very bright future.
Bill to Boost Industry in New Jersey - Editor - 3 February 2011
New Jersey is home to numerous legendary racecourses such as Monmouth Park and Meadowlands Racecourse. This means that the state lures thousands of horses to its tracks to compete in prestigious horse racing events such as the Haskell Invitational, Meadowlands Breeders Cup Stakes and a variety of Standardbred harness racing events. Now a new bill that will improve the present wagering legislation will boost the industry in New Jersey even further, bringing positive change to horse racing.

you bet on them so you better know about them too
Sourced from http://www.horseracingblog.org/
Friesian horses were thought to have evolved in the Netherlands as a breed from European war horses many centuries ago. In their early days as a breed, they were strong and hardy enough to carry a fighting knight attired in full armor.
A hallmark of a purebred Friesian horse was its black color. While small numbers of them are known to occur in additional colors such as chestnut. Although the typical purebred Friesian horse does not bear any markings, some have a small star shape located on their foreheads.
Others have more elaborate white markings. Typically only plain, unmarked black ones or the ones wearing only the small star are selected for registration.
These handsome horses have, in addition to their identifying(a) gleaming black coats, a thick mane and tail, and “feathered” hair on the lower legs. This distinctive hair is not cut, but left on the legs to feather gracefully, giving the horses an attractive and unique look.
Friesian horses are fearless, adaptable creatures who have long been used both for “harness work”; that is, as hitched to a wagon or plow for agricultural work or other carrying device, or “saddle work.” They are often ridden by regular riders, as found at horse shows and races. Good natured animals, they function well in both capacities.
Friesian horses were typically raised with dairy animals. Part of their early work was to help with the dairy farms. When mechanization became a way of life on the old farms, replacing the use and dependence on the horses, these elegant horses began to fall out of use and this line of magnificent horses nearly became extinct. However, their well-known attributes enabled them to survive and continue as a viable breed, as it still thrives today.
Despite the fact that these beautiful animals are of European descent, enjoying a good market on the European continent, there is in addition a large market for these animals in the States. Enormous horse breeding farms can be found throughout the United States, from coast to coast and found spreading through Middle America as well.
Interested buyers can habitually find a Friesian horse sale at the well-known breeding farms that are advertised on the Internet. The online itemization of Friesian horses gives a comprehensive outline of the notable horse farms, the horses they breed, and other pertinent information concerning the availability of the breed, such as Friesian Sale.
The breed continues to flourish today both as its conventional durable form, and with at least two new breedings, both of which are lighter agile attractive horses in the same form as the traditional pureblood Friesian horse, which has graced the horse world for ages.
The newer breeds of the Friesian horse are referred to as the “Friesian cross” and the “Friesian Sportbreed.” These two exemplary horses have been imbued with both the most valuable attributes of the old Friesian breed and newer hearty genetics from a well-matched cross breed. However, that being said ‘true’ Friesian enthusiasts will only own and invest in an ‘approved’ Friesian.

50 horse racing tips
some good stuff I found from http://www.practicalpunting.com.au
Remembering all that is spoken and about betting is, for many punters, too much of a task. It can be confusing and a little frustrating to have to cope with such a massive input of 'data'!
This article is aimed at providing you with some snippets of information which you can use to your advantage. Not every morsel will strike a chord, but I am sure that some of it will. If you can select just a few snippets from the 50 to help 'lift' your betting approach, then you will have taken a big step forward.
(1) Playing the horses successfully is the art of the probable. Nothing is certain. It involves human judgement. Use that judgement with common sense and you have taken the first major step to being a profitable punter.
(2) Racing is an immense business and a great sport, with rich rewards for those with the patience to study and apply sound principles of handicapping. Patience is the key word. It can save you from yourself!
(3) The average racegoer makes bad bets and loses money needlessly because he won't devote the time to learning all the little nuances of form analysis. The more time you spend understanding why horses won and why they lost the more you will benefit - in dollars.
(4) Losses in racing are a punishment for bad judgement! You can win - if you learn to balance the seven major factors (breeding, consistency, condition, speed, trainer, betting) which determine if a horse is likely to make the trip to the winner's circle.
(5) Condition, condition, CONDITION. At all times as a handicapper you are at 'war' with this factor. A successful bettor is the one who can spot the present condition of each horse and decide which one is conditioned to win.
(6) When you have a good day at the races, take 50 per cent of your profits and spend it, or save it, wisely. Don't win it one afternoon and give it back the next. That way, you are caught in a vicious circle.
(7) Don't go to the racetrack expecting to take everything home but the grandstand. Greed ruins more punters than any of the various handicapping factors. Play for profit, yes, but think twice about plunging.
(8) Study breeding. A knowledge of bloodlines (pedigree) can be most useful in the overall pattern of handicapping. Some pedigree experts can decide their final bets on their knowledge of a horse's breeding (stamina bloodlines, sprinting 'mudlarks' background etc).
(9) A good, big horse can usually beat a good little horse. A big horse that is fast and can literally 'drink the wind' has a longer stride than a smaller horse. Those added inches in his stride can mean the difference between a winner and a loser.
(10) Americans talk of 'effort' horses and define them as those runners who can show a gain of 1 to 3 lengths in the final 300m of a race. A horse gaining such ground in races over 1200m to 1600m is regarded as a supreme 'effort' runner.
(11) A handicapper tries to assign weights to bring all horses across the line in a blanket finish. Your task, as a bettor, is to find the horses which may have beaten the handicapper. Study weight changes carefully.
(12) Few horses can cope with dramatic increases in weight - a rise of 2.5kg plus from one race to the next will 'stop' most horses winning, unless they are dropping considerably in class.
(13) Don't get alarmed when betting on longshots at 10/1 plus. If the horse you are going to bet drifts from 10s to 20s, hang on! If you are confident about your handicapping then you could be on a strong overlay proposition ignored by others.
(14) Be wary of horses resuming after a spell (anything from 30 days upwards). The longer a horse has been off the racing scene, the more difficult it is to win first up.
(15) Don't stick slavishly to backing horses which ran lst, 2nd or 3rd last start. Look for unplaced horses which finished four lengths or less from the winner. That's usually good form.
(16) Always be on the lookout for positive jockey switches. A horse ridden by an apprentice or moderate jockey last start can show sharp improvement if a top jockey is swung into the saddle next time out. Positive jockey changes usually indicate strong stable confidence.
(17) Stay with the trainers who know how to win races. Treat carefully any runner from the leading stables. They usually have solid win strike rates.
(18) Keep a notebook of clippings from newspapers. These should mention good training track gallops, references to past races, jockeys' and trainers' comments etc.
(19) Keep old racetrack programs. Put down your thoughts immediately after each race. If you can, check your jottings against video replays.
(20) Never back a horse to win on rain affected ground unless you know for sure it can handle such conditions. Most good formguides now carry a horse's wet track history. Always refer to it.
(21) Study each runner on an impersonal basis. Don't allow personal dislikes to influence your judgement. Look upon each race as an intellectual challenge.
(22) A bettable race is one in which all horses have past performances complete enough to allow you to make a close estimation of each horse's ability. Avoid races where a lot of the runners are resuming from spells.
(23) Watch for emerging patterns in a horse's racing career - some horses take three runs to hit peak, others take longer, some can peak immediately. Go back through their form to decide.
(24) Never bet haphazardly. Get yourself a sensible staking approach and stick to it. 'Percentage' of bank betting is recommended highly. Level stake betting is as good as anything else for small-bet punters.
(25) When studying form, always take careful note of barrier positions. Penalise horses which are drawn badly. Use a scale between half a kilo and, say, 3 kilos, depending on the barrier and the track and distance.
(26) Don't write off a horse because of one bad run. Try to ascertain if it lost on its merits or whether it suffered inconvenience in the run. Read as many stewards' reports as you can.
(27) Learn from your errors. Once bitten, twice shy. If you've fallen for a betting blunder once, don't fall for it again. Study your betting, spot the weaknesses, and correct them.
(28) Remember always that money management is an essential requirement of your betting. Manage your money sensibly. Make sure you attack the races with a sound approach. Have faith in yourself, and don't hesitate to shoot for the occasional big win.
(29) Remember the professionals' belief: If a horse firms in the betting it is likely to keep on firming, if it eases it is likely to keep easing.
(30) Make up your mind whether you're going to be an each-way bettor, or one who bets two horses a race instead of one horse each-way. Many professionals prefer backing two horses in a race. Some back one runner to 'save' on the bet.
(31) Keep a positive psychological outlook on your betting. Refrain from moaning and groaning and relating your hard-luck stories. Think of yourself as a winner, and regard losses as just another hurdle to be overcome.
(32) Think very carefully about newspaper tipster poll 'consensus' horses. Recent tests show that top selections (most favoured) lose around 27 per cent on turnover at level stakes. Backing the 'most favoured' horse for a place shows a loss of around 12 per cent.
(33) Broadly speaking, most horses reach winning fitness with their 3rd, 4th or 5th runs from a spell. A quality horse should be peaking on his best ratings by his third outing after a layoff.
(34) When assessing weights, the use of 1.5kg equalling a length is a widely- accepted practice. Some professionals use a sliding scale - 2kgs for a length up to 1200m, 1.5kg from 1200m to 2000m and 1kg to a length for longer trips.
(35) A good idea is to forgive a horse one bad run if it was carrying a big weight. Check through the formguide to ascertain how the horse has gone before with big weights - and whether it went better when asked to carry less weight.
(36) If you are wrestling with the problem of splitting two horses as a final selection, it can pay to lean towards the horse with the best consistency rate. Check win and place strikes, and go for the horse with the highest percentages.
(37) Formguides often have a 'w' or 'm' next to a runner's name to signify it has won or been placed on rain-affected going. This can be misleading. A horse may have run 2nd or 3rd but it could have been beaten 10 lengths! As a general rule, regard 3 lengths as the maximum loss allowed. Outside that, a horse is a query in the wet.
(38) The importance of knowledge about racing facts and figures cannot be over-emphasised. Do all you can to improve your knowledge. Read as much material as you can - formguides, newspapers, magazines, books.
(39) If you bet on more than one form of betting (win, place etc) then keep a separate record of each form of betting. Each will show varying cycle success. To understand how each performs it is essential you isolate them from each other in separate profit-loss accounts.
(40) Three-year-olds racing against older horses in the first half of the racing season are at some disadvantage. Treat 3yo's in these all-age races with caution unless they have shown exceptional ability.
(41) Comments in newspaper formguides can be misleading. Try not to be persuaded one way or the other by what they say. Stick to strict formlines and use only your own opinion, unless you respect the opinion of someone else.
(42) Understand the power of money when you bet. Do not lose sight of the value of money. Always respect the dollars in your pocket. Don't waste them on bad horses.
(43) Remember, it's not the winners of a day or a week that count, but the results obtained over a 12-month period. Make safe and judicious investments but remember that betting calls for some inventive speculation at some point. But don't just simply gamble your money.
(44) Every punter has what is called a 'choking point' when it comes to the size of a bet. Never bet beyond your means, or beyond the safety of the maximum bet you can handle. Judgement can go astray when you place extra pressure on yourself to have big bets.
(45) Haste makes waste! Never give in to the temptation to rush into backing a horse. Look around a TAB agency and you'll see punters doing exactly the wrong thing -rush, rush, rush to have yet another bet! Take your time. There are always going to be more races.
(46) Bring a form of speculation into your betting, and while playing 'safe' don't go overboard with the caution. Stockmarket king Gerald Loeb once wrote: "I am personally convinced of the inevitability of loss when attempting to secure a safe income of small return." Loeb's advice was 'speculation rather than investment'.
(47) More and more professionals in these tough economic times are turning to quinellas, trifectas, quadrellas and trebles. The reasoning is that with these exotic forms of betting you can wager small and win big. With much of the value gone from win-place betting, this approach has a lot going for it.
(48) With quinellas, or exactas, go big on one or two prime combinations and then make smaller bets on other combinations to produce a small profit or a breakeven result. Put 50 to 60 per cent of your stake on the prime combinations.
(49) If you hear a tip on the same horse from three different sources, then forget it. A tip is worthless currency once too many people are spouting it.
(50) Finally, remember the final decision on any bet is yours. No-one else's. You have to decide to bet or not to bet. It's your money. It's your life.
