Reviews
Quinn provides a new twist to thoroughbred handicapping by considering past performance and class in terms of the eligibility conditions of the present race. He analyzes how horses become eligible for particular races and how the bettor can spot the best horses. Two useful appendixes are a synthesis of his guidelines and a compilation of graded and listed stakes in seven countries which will aid the bettor in equating foreign-raced horses to U.S ones. This book is for the advanced handicapper; it is a complex approach best read in small doses. Recommended for academic and public libraries. Susan Hamburger, Florida State Univ. Lib., Tallahassee

Hardcover. Condition: Near Very Good condition. Dust Jacket Condition: Near VG DJ (price clipped). 1st printing of Revised and Updated ed. New York: William Morrow and Company, Inc, 1986. Gift note on endpaper. Light cover soil. Otherwise a square, tight, unmarked copy. No remainder mark. No bookplate. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Updated edition of a book originally published in 1981. Illustrated. From the Dust Jacket: "Part I discusses the full array of race conditions in a progression that most thoroughbreds follow, from maiden to claiming races. The section on stakes races features the increasingly important role of international racing. Part II concentrates on developing horses, notably nonclaiming three-year-olds, urging handicappers to rely on an in-depth comprehension of eligibility conditions and well-known patterns of development when the past performances do not yet tell a persuasive story. Included are two appendices, one of the selection-elimination guidelines and the other of the important stakes of seven foreign countries plus the United States." "There is hardly an aspect of thoroughbred racing that is not covered in this superb book. Quinn packs so much information and insight between the covers that one reading simply isn't enough. His money management advice is born of experience and good judgment. His uses of exotic wagering to maximize profits will benefit both the novice and professional. This book has something for handicappers of all persuasions." - Dick Mitchell, Gambling Times. 1st printing of Revised and Updated ed. Hardcover.
