A horse race is a type of sports betting in which a person can bet on several horses to win. Each horse starts at a certain post position and is tallied accordingly. The post position is also known as post time, and is the time set for the race to start. In order to determine the post position, a betting unit must be placed on the first horse. There are several rules regarding post position. Below, we’ll look at each of them in more detail.
