I am a thoroughbred racing fan and the owner of many handicapping books. Although many of these books contain valuable material, others have been just a waste of money. When I first started to read this book, I thought it fell into the latter category, but the more I read, the more interesting it became. Although not all the ideas in this book are easily attainable, there are still many that can be added to a persons handicapping arsenal. The discussions about the morning line, jockey and trainer are the best I've seen. I think this book is worth the money.
