Summary: One of the Best
Review: For the intermediate to advanced horseplayer looking for a good synthesis of ideas on successful handicapping, this book is a must read! Of all the handicapping books I've read, this one has by far the greatest depth and clearest organization. Each of the numerous chapters is dedicated to a single concept, all of which are well thought out and do not conform to a single "system" (which is the case with more than a few handicapping books). I fully recommend this book to any horseplayer.

Summary: Page after page of handicapping gems.
Review: From Silky Sullivan to the making of speed figures, and on through "looking through the trainer's window," Steve-O's book has things to teach even when he isn't trying. But most of all, this book is sound on the fundamentals. Handicapping thoroughbreds, as a craft, contains elements of math, intuition, reason and insight all bound up in a chance proposition. Cut down the chance-factors, concentrate on what you understand, and you CAN do well. Davidowitz's book is the first step & easy to read on top of it all.

Summary: Emphasis on "Professional"
Review: This is an excellent book, fun and easy to read. However, it's not for the novice trying to learn to handicap. Rather, it's for the handicapper who already has a decent grasp of the fundamentals, and is looking for a way to hone up his or her ROI. Filled with concrete examples of trainer moves, track peculiarities, etc., Davidowitz explores the "art" side of handicapping. He leaves you, not with a "system" of handicapping, but a number of different concepts you need to include in your own handicapping process.

Summary: Excellent Book !
Review: This is one of the best handicapping books I have ever read and I have read just about every one...it's not full of get rich quick strategies...just solid handicapping education by someone who has the experience and it shows in the book. I'd recommend this one coupled with Tom Ainslie's book.

Summary: TrackBias/TrainerPatterns/KeyRaces/Pace & Betting Strategies
Review: This revised edition is 2-1/2 times the original and fillied with the author's handicapping adventures from coast to coast. It is packed with dozens of entertaining anecdotes and powerful insights for racetrack and simulcast players, as well as those seeking to use the computer to unlock the mysteries of handicapping. Having first outlined the concepts and coined the terms TRACK BIAS and KEY RACES, the author shows new ways to use both concepts as well as when they are of no use at all. And the same is true for several new chapters on speed figures; pace; trainer patterns; breeding, and exotic betting strategies; all of which are supported by a four part appendix section and hundreds of illustrations and past performance examples throughout the book. . .Speaking personally, Steve Davidowitz says he is "proud of this work" and "would be glad to respond via e-mail to interested students of the world's most fascinating game".
