Good stuff but not new,
By steve (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bet With the Best: Expert Strategies from America's Leading Handicappers (Drf Handicapping Library) (Hardcover)
Nine well-know handicappers each contribute a chapter based on their specialty or current area of interest. The book contains useful information, but serious handicappers have probably read it before -- and probably from these same handicappers. The book is a good illustration of how few new handicapping theories or ideas have emerged in the past few years. If this is your first exposure to these handicappers, however, it is an excellent primer, and Andrew Beyer remains the best horse racing writer in America.

A Promo for Daily Racing Form,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bet With the Best: Expert Strategies from America's Leading Handicappers (Drf Handicapping Library) (Hardcover)
The most obvious thing that struck me while reading this book is what they don't write about. Not a single author mentions the Internet, computers, database or handicapping software. All successful horse bettors utilize high-tech resources these days. This book is nothing more than a promo piece for Daily Racing Form. All the authors are 1980's hasbeens - currently on the DRF payroll. As usual, they do not document their claims with verifiable statistics.

Brohammer is the only one making sense in todays handicapping game
