4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff but not new, January 29, 2002

By	steve (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing New, May 16, 2002

By	Tom Marks (las vegas nv) - See all my reviews

Sadly this book reveals nothing new.....same old stagnant handicapping methods as previously outlined in most of the authors previous books.....to collect a paycheck they have again hyped each other and their own outdated methods.

Same stuff as outline previously only packaged different . Brohammer is the only one making sense in todays handicapping game

1.0 out of 5 stars A Promo for Daily Racing Form, January 21, 2002

By A Customer

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.
