This unique system is a combination of a qualitative and quantitative analysis of each entry in a particular race. Many individuals who look at the Daily Racing Form only see the big picture. They see what everybody else sees. Therefore, they find themselves betting the favorites along with the majority. When a a long shot crosses that line first they ask themselves, "How did that horse win the race?" The Matrix system of handicapping will teach you how to dissect those past performances and create a grid of contenders. You will be taught how to identify: * Pace setters who are ready to go gate to wire * The target horse: The horse who is actually coming off the best last race, even though his running line doesn't show it. * The Ability Horse: The horse who has run the best race compared to all of the entries lifetime races. * What does it mean to calculate an "adjusted final fraction"?" What can this calculation tell you about today's runners? * Learn to look at the Beyer ratings in a whole new light by calculating a Beyer cumulative. * Easily apply your current techniques with the steps of this system. * Are you even aware that you probably shouldn't be betting every race that comes along? Most importantly, learn to cash in winning tickets 40-50% of the time. Dave Vaccaro used ideas and theories acquired from other sources over the past 21 years and combined them with his own tendencies to create this must-have manual for all thoroughbred handicapping enthusiasts.

First published in 1987, this book focuses on childhood disability within the family. It examines the very nature of disability itself, as well as many of the fundamental elements of families. The book was written at a time when the meaning level of disability and its effect on family and society were rapidly changing and people with disabilities were starting to benefit from opportunities to compensate for whatever disabilities they may have had. Modern technology and an affluent society afforded advantages to support many of its disabled members. Contributors examine the contemporary context of disability, the cost of disability to families, ethical, philosophical and social issues underlying the treatment and rehabilitation of children with severe disabilities, and the role of professionals, amongst other topics. This book will be of interest to those involved in teaching, research and direct care with families who have children with disabilities. Although written in the late 80s, the work discusses subjects that are still vital today.
