Andy Beyer's "Picking Winners" is a good one also.

I have always liked How to Spot the Unbeatable Horse by POINTGIVEN1985.
I suspect you might already be familiar with his work.

He is currently working on his second book: How to Bet a Million Dollars Across the Board on a 7/5 Favorite.

I heard that it's coming along nicely.

Beyer's Third Book 'The Winning Horseplayer' would get my vote as my favorite book ever written.

I don't seem to remember the third book as well as I remember the first two.

Beyer had four books in all.

From oldest to newest....

1st: Picking Winners
2nd: My 50K Year at the Races
3rd: The Winning Horseplayer
4th: Beyer on Speed

LOL...I'm the same way in the reading department....I will have to pick this up. I've had Beyer on Speed for at least 10 years but I treat it like a manual.
It just never gets old. :)

I'd have to go with 'Catch 22' as my favorite book ever written.
