Combining Horseshoes

While individual horseshoes are worth considering, combining the horseshoes provides further insights. The tables below show how the number of different coloured horseshoes can impact the results too.

Green Horseshoes

The more green horseshoes a horse has been allocated, the more chance it has of winning the race.

Amber Horseshoes

Not as good as the green stats, but the more amber horseshoes a horse has, the more chance it has of winning.

Red Horseshoes

Unsurprisingly the lower the number of red horseshoes, the better the chance a horse has of winning. Horses with a lot of red horseshoes do win sometimes and when they do, they could be at large prices.

Be wary of short priced horses with red horseshoes.
