Reviews
Cramer eschews systems, referring readers to books by Tom Ainslie, James Quinn, William L. Quirin, et al. for speed, pace, and trip handicapping. He espouses, instead, a form-cycle approach to handicapping horse races. Believing that horses and their trainers win in cycles, Cramer attempts to illustrate this hypothesis with examples from the Racing Form . He deduces that a bettor can make a profit from analyzing past performance charts, spotting a pattern, and predicting the next win based on similar circumstances. While form cycles are something to consider when handicapping, the effort required to locate a pattern for several different horses among thousands and retain potentially helpful observations is a time-consuming full-time job. Recommended for public libraries with strong horse racing collections.
