One of the best books ever written on horse racing, Rowe's original research spans forty-five years and shows how to play and beat the track, spot hot and cold horses from betting trends, analyze and play winning favorites, bet-downs and profitable exactas, evaluate trainers, jockeys, stable entries, make your own odds-line, and more! Written in Rowe's personal style and jam-packed with 27 chapters, 93 tables/charts. Ainslee says, "(his) selection method is by far the simplest and most sensible..." Includes 93 charts and illustrations. Al Illich, author of How to Pick Winners, called Rowe "one of the best players I have known..." A great book from a legend. 232 pages

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful statistical data relative to betting horses,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Win At Horseracing (Paperback)
I'm familiar with Bob Rowe's work from American Turf, Racing Star Weekly and other publications. He's a good writer and knows racing as evinced by his latest and best book How To Win At THOROUGHBRED Racing. The current tome, How to Win At Horse Racing, contains much useful information but seems to me as if an editor was over zealous, and should have left Rowe's original words as submitted. Nonetheless, this doesn't distract from the essence of the information provided. Rowe has been writing about racing since I was 17. I'm 67 now. He obviously knows which end kicks and which end bites.

Good beggining material,

This review is from: How To Win At Horseracing (Paperback)
This book written by expeirienced handicapper Robert Rowe is good starting material for the begginer. It explains all the basics the wagers the odds and so on. But when I happened upon this book a year or so ago I already had been handicapping sussesfully for 4 or so years. So I'll assign 2 ratings for the begginer this is 5 stars for the intermediate level 3 stars. And if your advanced don't bother.

This review is from: How to Win at Horseracing (Paperback)
This book starts with the basics of gambling on Thoroughbreds and goes to mostly money management issues and strictly mechanical systems based upon final betting odds. Very outdated.
