Workouts and Maidens

Rating:
Summary: This book is, well, horsecrap.
Review: Frankly, any book with as many typographical errors as this hapless little volume contains would result in some editor's head being lopped off. This book evidently had no quality control exercised over it. But that isn't the main problem. The book is an information lightweight. The author's fundamental message is something to the effect that workouts can be informative as to a maiden's condition. I found the few-and-far-between nuggets of information rather generic and hardly earth-shattering. A newcomer to the sport, only about three years' worth of handicapping experience, I kept the book as a curiosity, but I could hardly recommend it to anyone except as perhaps a good laugh. Well, there are one or two interesting tidbits in it and after all it is a contribution to the meagre handicapping effluvia. Yet Mr. Reo has done better (i.e., Finding Hot Horses). If you find it on sale somewhere, it's worth a couple bucks. Otherwise, spend the money on a beer. The post-guzzle belch will satisfy you a lot more than this book will, alas.
