CHING WORDS

Ching Words is a brand new word game published as a book on Amazon and played on any newspaper horse racing page or Internet race card. The purpose of this site is to study real life race card examples and show how the game works in regard to picking winners and each way places.

In Ching Words we identify or make words in a horse's name. The process is simple and educational, massively exciting when the end result produces a winner or each way place.
There are three rules that govern the whole process - they are simple, effective, and optional. You don't have to use them!THE THREE RULES1- One letter option, allowed to be placed anywhere in a horse's name
I will explain the rule. Say for instance a horse is call MEAD. I could put a T next to the A and make the word MEATD - like a form of anagram. If the horse is called MEADY AND BOY I can do similar add the free letter anywhere in the name sequence - MEADY AND BOYS. In this instance an S on Boy making it plural to spell BOYS. The main consensus of the rule, you have one free letter to place anywhere in the horse's name or name sequence - it's optional.2- Any letter in the horse name or placed letter can double or triple. This is a very simple rule to grasp. Say, a horse is called BELARNO. You can double the L in BELARNO to make the word BELL. Or, if the horse was called BERNIE you could add the free letter an L to make BELRNIE and then double the inserted L to make BELLRNIE. Any letter in the horse's name or any added letter can double or triple.3- Similar sounding letters. Out of the three rules this is possibly the most difficult to understand. But, there are only three so you have very little to think about - easily learned.
Basically, S and Z are the same, G and J the same and C and K. It means, words can be spelt with greater degrees of flexibility.
Here are two examples conveying the point. Say you were looking for a word meaning Guard, Sentinel. A horse is called ZENTRY. Nearly perfect because Sentry is a Guard. But, is spelt with S not Z. However, with the help of rule 3 we can take the Z in Zentry as being an S - ZENTRY. Another example might be the word KANE. Perhaps we are looking for something made of wood, Cane (A Stick) or Cane (Sugar Cane). Either way, it matters not we can treat the K in KANE as a C so we make our word.EXAMPLE - LAUREL PARK
Ching Words works on both British and worldwide racing
17:00 Laurel Park (USA) 25 Apr 2026, Claiming, 3YO plus
Winner $14,400 - 12 ranI have not included the whole card to show this example from Laurel Park in the United States. Only the race winner and the Ching Words adaptation from the book. You can view Ching Words on Amazon at the URL below.

The winner at Laurel Park in the USA on 25th April 17.00 (5.00 pm) was -
3. Wise and Elegant (3) 3/1 Fav 6 -8-10 H McMahon, Y Hazelwood

-----------------------------------------------
This example is an excellent one because it shows all the three rules in one horse's name. The horse was WISE AND ELEGANT, the Ching Word, WHIZZ (clever guy). To make the word fit the horse all three rules must come into play. Rule -1 the free letter inserted is H between W and I - WHISE. Rule - 2 the S is doubled - WHISSE. Rule - 3 is applied S and Z being the same so the two S's become Z's. Thus the anagram is complete - WHIZZ E AND ELEGANT. The horse won at 3/1 odds.Now an excellent example from racing in the UK - the odds of the winner were massive.

Now allow me to take you through the process of making some fantastic words - to make some fantastic wins.
There were four qualifiers from the above field. Deafening Silence, Collectors Item, Isaac Des Obeaux, and Grand Albert.In DEAFENING SILENCE I doubled the already present E and added the one free letter a D. So I made the Ching Word - DEED AFENING SILENCE (singular, plural apply).
In COLLECTORS ITEM the word CO already there as a stand alone word.
ISAAC DE OBEAUX I added the free letter an S between the two A's and made the word ISAS AC DE OBEAUX. An ISA is a tax friendly governmental bond offered by banks.
Finally, in GRAND ALBERT I added the free letter an A in front of GRAND to get the words A GRAND (thousand pounds or dollars)
