Been thinking about the Crist book as well. I've read all of the DRF short series they have put out in the last few years on elements of handicapping. Some were winners- Illman's work on maidens was terriffic and Joe Cardello's work on using Beyers to find patterns and back class is another great piece of work. Also, the Klein book about early speed is an amazing research project. The others fell short of expectations. Stich's "Pedigree Handicapping", Heller's "Go For the Green", and Borg's "Off the Charts" would have made good chapters if condensed into a more comprehensive book, but didn't really offer anything that hasn't been covered in comprehensive books.
