1.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a disappointment...., April 17, 2003

This review is from: Off the Charts: Turning Result Charts into Profitable Selections at the Track (Paperback)

Far too simplistic. A good overview for a first-time horse player. It had a few good points not much on text though. Content was rather weak. Seen far better publications than this from the DRF.

There is no doubt that this book teaches you basics of how racing charts are interpreted. This book has talked about pacing, fractional time and key race etc. I believe it may be good for starters.

I am however a little bit disappointed after reading this book. As a verteran horse racing fans I hope to find out more from this book before I buy this book. May be my expectation was too high at that time. If you have already read many books about horse handicapping, I recommend you miss this book.

I bought Nick Borg's book back in May of this year and I must say that he not only improved my handicapping by leaps and bounds but I am also cashing more tickets on a steady basis. He starts his explanation in his simplest terms then adds color to the mix to create a very well thought out process. I recommend this book to anyone that has ever made a bet. I can't see how this book couldn't help anyone and everyone. There are so many nuances and angles that once you realize the gravity of each angle it's impossible that you won't become a better handicapper.
