Use of Global Positioning System in horse racing
Technological has made crucial interventions in a number of fields opening up newer
lines of thought and action, providing solutions to the problems of today and hope for the future. Sports have also been taking the help of technology for various purposes like performance measurement, development of optimum training regimens and many others. This is true for all types of sports and also for the purpose of
sports betting. Betting on
horse racing can be done on course, off course, online and also through your mobile. Technology has intervened to make betting more broad based, operationally flexible and extremely convenient. The one of the latest technologies currently being experimented with in this sport is that of Global Positioning System (GPS).
The use of GPS has been mostly concentrated on the development of appropriate training regimens of the horses. Before the use of this technology, the trainers required to have the experience of watching the horse strength training over a number of years. It was only by the benefit of experience that they were able to judge how much exercise or speed is right for the horse, or, when the horse is getting strained or stressed. It shall be noted that the maximum injuries to the horses arise from over strain and over stress. In an attempt to run them more and more and at greater speeds, the damage to cartilages happens and the limbs of the horses are adversely affected. So, how does the GPS help in this regard?
The use of a GPS device is done in conjunction with a heart rate monitoring device. While the GPS device is used to collect the data on the speed and time of the running of the horse, the heart rate monitoring device is used to measure the heart beat. Using the two, the trainers can know what heart beat rates were achieved at the peak of horse racing training and when was the horse able to achieve that? If the horse was stressed to race faster than that, then the fluctuations in the data will show that the horse is getting adversely affected. The GPS device will tell at what stage of the training was this happening. So, the trainer can know what the maximum level of performance that can be achieved by the horse under given circumstances. He can also know when the horse is getting far too stressed and it is getting riskier to attain more injuries. This also enables the trainers to match their performance levels with their growth periods.
GPS technology data, therefore, can help in devising proper
horse racing training and feeding schedules for horses as per their growth to achieve the best performances and reducing the instances of injuries.
Sports continue to make use of new technologies for overall betterment. sports betting, especially in horse racing, can become more informed with the intervention of newer technology. Use of GPS to make better race horses will create a big difference between the users and the non users of this technology. Perhaps, sports betting fraternity would like to place their bets on those who use to this technology for optimum growth of the horse.
