Hi, I’m Miles Henry—a lifelong horseman, data geek, and the voice behind HorseRacingSense.com.
I grew up riding Quarter Horses on my family’s farm and spent much of my youth learning how to read horses, not just ride them. Over the years, that early love turned into a career centered on Thoroughbreds—first watching them run, then owning them, and eventually training my own racehorses. I currently own and manage a small stable in Louisiana, where I’m hands-on with everything from breezing 2-year-olds to hauling them to the track. Our horses have won races at Louisiana’s top tracks, including Fair Grounds, Delta Downs, Evangeline Downs, and Louisiana Downs.
HorseRacingSense.com was born out of my desire to bridge the gap between barn wisdom and modern data. I wanted to build a space where horse lovers—from casual fans to serious handicappers—could learn how to understand horses better, spot value in races, and enjoy the sport with more confidence.
What You’ll Find Here
At Horse Racing Sense, I write about:
- Handicapping strategies that blend instinct with data
- Honest gear reviews based on what I actually use
- Common-sense insights about horse behavior, health, and care
- Horse racing history, betting tips, and behind-the-scenes looks
I’ve claimed horses for $5,000 and watched them win allowance races. I’ve also faced my share of tough breaks—vet bills, claim slip losses, and close calls at the wire. This site reflects the highs and lows of being in the game for real.se the right hay, I write from experience—backed by both sweat and spreadsheets. Also had more than my share of vet bills, scratch-offs, and near-misses. This site reflects the highs and lows of being in the game for real.
Why Listen to Me?
Because I live what I write. I’m not just a fan—I’m the guy picking hooves at 5 a.m., watching replays until midnight, and comparing pedigree stats in between.
I also bring a data-oriented mindset to the barn. Before starting this blog, I worked in operations and analytics. That means I look at things like pace figures, trainer intent, and surface switches the way a bettor should: with clear eyes and context.
