Summary: Very easy to read, but are the assumptions valid?
Review: This book is extremely easy to read. It only takes me probably 2 hours (4 subway trips of half an hour each) to finish this book as the idea presented in this book is very simple. In short, proportion of win odds to pick three odds + smart money in win odds + horse's condition on the paddock = selection. However, does this actually work?I cannot give you a definite answer as there is no pick three odds like this in Hong Kong. However, I can imagine the author has made three major assumptions in his system as follows:- 1. Smart money tends to go to pick three pool instead of win pool. 2. There is an existence of smart money on win pool that causes the movement between prelimiary odds and morning line odds. 3. Smart money is actually smarter. I cast doubt on the first 2 assumptions especially majority of the bets come into the pool at the last 5-7 minutes before a race (hence, early odds are not too accurate as smart money has not come in yet). This happens in Hong Kong. As a serious horse racing "participant", I will recommend you a miss on this book.

Summary: An Entertaining Read, but not much else.
Review: This book is not worth the ... plus shipping I paid for it. I expected much more, I already knew most of the stuff that was in the book and really didn't find anything of value here. The system used in this book, is really a crap shoot. I tried the methods and didn't have much luck with it. I went back to my usual handicapping, which is analyzing pace, speed and pedigree and current condition of the horse and started winning again.

Review: This was one of the most enjoyable horse race betting books that I have read. Unfortunately, Mr. Cromie's system is to follow the smart money assuming that there is some inside information being hidden in the Pick 3. I have tried this system for a few weekends, and was disappointed with the results. It's still an entertaining book, but don't expect much more.

Summary: richard a. cromie charity fund
Review: what use is a system that runs you through various situations,then says,"if the chalk looks-like he's sitting on a big race,add him to equation"!he says this in way to many instances for me! if i could pick winners by looking at them i wouldn't need a book or his system! if you buy this ,your just paying for one of mr.cromie's box trifecta tickets! stay clear at all costs!

Summary: Let Mr.Trifecta become your own private Santa Claus!
Review: WOW! I can't believe it ! Richard Cromie's "MR.TRIFECTA" brought me in a [money]Trifecta today at Calder for only a [money] investment. My grandkids gave me "Mr.Trifecta"for my birthday. Now I'll be getting all 6 of them wonderful Xmas presents. And still have enough left over to play the "MR.TRIFECTA" systems again and again. I thank you, Richard Cromie. Many of my friends are buying your book.
