Hi guys hope you are well, and addicted to SO4 or 5

I am new as you probably know, so i was wondering if anyone has any advice they can give on the punter side of the game for example is a heavy horse better on the flat than a light one and which type for jumps? i have no clue the whole thing is new to me having never bet on horses before.
Also, how many times and how often do you race each of your horses on average each season?
Thanks for any input....god i hate being a newbie sometimes
