This review is from: Bettor's Guide to Harness Racing: A New Guide to Successful Handicapping (Hardcover)

Ron is a fellow Western New Yorker who believes in establishing some order to the handicapping process by using a points system. This is good for the beginning to intermediate handicapper but I have learned that professional handicapping relies on other factors which can't be quantified as easily as this author would have you believe they can.
This book has sound basic principles and the example races are based on the WNY racing scene. Just to see the names of the horses and drivers from our area reprinted here brought back fond memories of the old days I spent hanging around Bflo. raceway and Batavia Downs.
