Nice place to start., Jan 17 2007
By B. Flaten - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Backyard Race Horse: The Training Manual: A Comprehensive Off-Track Program for Owners and Trainers (Paperback)
This is a very comprehensive book which covers a broad range of topics relative to training race horses. Because of it's broad scope it does not cover the minute details of training as some other books might...but as a survey of the subject it does fine. It is written well and organized extemely well. It is a good book to start with and will provide the reader with enough background information to be able to ask intelligent questions relative to the books subject matter. A good value.

This review is from: Backyard Race Horse: The Training Manual: A Comprehensive Off-Track Program for Owners and Trainers (Paperback)
A book which reassures all those amateurs along the way, that you don't have to be Gai Waterhouse or Bart Cummins to join the winners circle. Handy references to a broad range of subjects and written in a way, that takes much of the mysteries out of the whole subject.
