This classic handicapping book, which introduced thousands of bettors to the importance of such pioneering concepts as track bias, key races, and trainer patterns, has been substantially revised, updating those ideas while providing fresh approaches and concepts for an ever-changing game.Betting Thoroughbreds for the 21st Century retains the solid, ground-breaking work of the original text, complete with historical examples for the ages, such as the lifetime past performances of Secretariat and the result chart from Dr. Fager’s world-record-setting victory in the Washington Park Handicap; yet, it accents dozens of new handicapping ideas, incorporating new resources and technologies—all precisely illustrated with real-life examples and charts.There also is a wealth of new material focusing on the power of pedigree handicapping, analyzing workout information from the trainer’s perspective, and how to design efficient wagering strategies for every type of exotic bet—from the old, familiar daily double to recent innovations such as dime superfectas, the super high five, and of course, the pick six.Betting Thoroughbreds for the 21st Century is no mere cosmetic revision; it directly attacks the challenges of contemporary handicapping, blending the author’s timeless approaches with accessible new concepts that have been developed through considerable experimentation and successful play. On virtually every page, the author provides players at every level of skill with tools and ideas to solve many of today’s racetrack puzzles. Like the first two editions, Betting Thoroughbreds for the 21st Century is sure to become another must-read handicapping classic. 400 pages, hardcover
