 Very Informative Book September 3, 2009

I really enjoyed this book. I went to Delaware Park yesterday and lost about as much as a usually do. However, I felt much more comfortable reading the racing form and making bets.

This is a must read for any person that is interested in horse racing. Start with the fundamentals Brad Free explains how to inturprit the past performance racing form wich is probably the most important information you need to consistantly bet on horses. Then He explains how to identify a long shot. So there you go.
 Not suitable for Kindle June 16, 2009

The content of this book is fantastic for someone almost completely new to racing, like me. It won't make me a world-class handicapper, but it's perfect for being able to look at a field of horses and somewhat confidently pick out a few likely contenders. If you already know the basics, you're not going to get much out of this book.
The wagering strategy is great for beginners and opens to the door on the world of exotics while giving a newbie some idea of the bankroll one needs to seriously play them.
The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because it's terrible on the Kindle 2. The author routinely uses actual Equibase horse program excerpts for making his points, but the print is tiny in real life, let alone the Kindle 2. Even with the Zoom function they're absolutely impossible to read.
The content on its own is still worth the price, but I wish I'd gone with a paper version.
