Default What

Are the best horse racing handicapping books, I currently have in my Library,

Bet With the Best, My 50,000 Year at the Races, Handicapping Contest Handbook, and How to Bet Maidens and Two Year Olds.

Anyone got any suggestions

thanks

Aaron

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.

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