Synopsis

Every serious racing fan should own this book!

After studying thousands of horses over a period of several years at eight major tracks, the author, a statistician whose hobby is thoroughbred racing, offers startling answers to many key questions.

When is the daily double a good bet? How important is the weight a horse must carry? Is a drop in "class" for an older horse a critical handicapping factor? At what age does the performance of the typical racehorse begin to decline substantially? These and many other important questions are answered in this essential guide to better handicapping.
