The Best of Thoroughbred Handicapping : Leading Ideas & Methods
by James Quinn
Customer Reviews
Break out of your handicapping ruts!, February 24, 2005
Reviewer: I. Lozada (Baldwin, NY)
The beauty of James Quinn's updated anthology is not any one revelation that he brings to the table, but that he's synthesized so many voices and give you so many more angles to consider. Those of you who play regularly know how easy it is to identify the obvious chalk-- and how hard it is to get past the two or three "best on paper" types to get to live, mid-priced overlays. You know, the horses that are the difference between a minus day and a wildly profitable day.
In addition, the fact that he has brought so many voices together on money management-- the topic I see the least amount of literature on-- alone makes this worthwhile.
This isn't the type of book I'd toss to a novice, but it will make the intermediate player much more flexible and creative.
A Must-Read for the novice handicapper, August 25, 2004
Reviewer: R. Pitlak "nehandicappers.org" (Vermont USA)
This book is an almost encylocpedic digest of current theories of thoroughbred handicapping. None are covered in such detail that you can run off and start making money at the track, but each points you to a source for more comprehensive information on the theory that interests you.
If you are willing to ignore books on "handicapping made easy," this book is probably among the best starting points for the novice. It explores a variety of approaches, leaving you to select what you like, and follow a path toward mastery.
