Thoroughbred Horse Handicapping and wagering using the Holy Bible of Horse Racing is a book that contains a primer for folks that do not know much about thoroughbred horse racing. In addition, it provides a methodology for picking horses that will most likely finish second or better in races that are qualified for wagering. It then describes different approaches to wagering. There are what I call another section which I call special conditions that prompt special attention and will provide an avenue for Win/Place/Show bets (across the board), as well as some short stories of the some of the real characters I have met while playing the ponies.

Former Santa Anita handicapper and author, Paul Lambrakis, offers up a fresh new approach to horse race analysis. Paul tells readers that in order to handicap more effectively and get better prices, they must eliminate the speed figures from their handicapping. According to Paul, who has been handicapping for over thirty-five years, the speed figures have never delivered on what they set out to do years ago. What they deliver is disappointment and short prices. Paul's method of horse race analysis is practical and straightforward. He tells you what areas of the past performances to focus on and what to look for. Paul will also reveal to you the one area of the PP's that most handicappers overlook. It is here where you will find valuable clues to help you spot those higher-paying horses. Innovative Horse Race Handicapping is tailor-made for handicapping all the major US racetracks!

The Gambler Who Cracked the Horse-Racing Code Bill Benter did the impossible: He wrote an algorithm that couldn't lose at the track. Close to a billion dollars later, he tells his system. This book examines the elements necessary for a practical and successful computerized horse race handicapping and wagering system. Data requirements, handicapping model development, wagering strategy, and feasibility are addressed. A logit-based technique and a corresponding heuristic measure of improvement are described for combining a fundamental handicapping model with the public's implied probability estimates. The author reports significant positive results in five years of actual implementation of such a system. This result can be interpreted as evidence of inefficiency in pari-mutuel racetrack wagering. This paper aims to emphasize those aspects of computer handicapping which the author has found most important in practical application of such a system. Also included the Bill Benter "What Are My Odds?" Presentation at ICCM in 2004.
