A great book. It covers everything that happened in horse racing in 2007, which was a great year. Very thorough.

This book contains just about every piece of information that a casual fan or an experienced horseplayer would want.

AS ALWAYS,IT IS FULL OF ALL THE INFO AND STATS THAT YOU NEED,COVERING THE 2007 RACING SEASON ALONG WITH JUST ABOUT ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED,REGARDING THOROUGHBRED RACING.NO HORSE LIBRARY OR TRUE RACING FAN SHOULD BE WITHOUT IT.

A pair of hefty numbers - 113 and nearly 2400 - tell the story.

The former is the number of years this definitive yearly review of racing has been published, while the latter is the pages in this edition. As impressive as the wealth of information is the readability & easy access when attempting to search for material.

The Daily Racing Form publishes a number of new books each year on various facets of the industry, but the manual is the Triple Crown champion of them all.
