Value Betting at the Racetrack, By David Johnson PHd

Thunder Gulch 02-27-2011 11:55 AM

Modern Pace by Brohammer
Kinky Handicapping by Cramer
Thoroughbred Cycles by Cramer
Betting Thoroughbreds by Davidowitz
Expert Handicapping by Litfin
Best of Thoroughbred Handicapping by Quinn...my favorite, it points you towards a lot of different writers, but is extremely well done.
Beyer on Speed
Blinkers Off by Fotias

I have 25 or so reviews on Amazon for what that's worth.
