Not suitable for Kindle, Jun 15 2009
By D. Kadonsky - Published on Amazon.com
The content of this book is fantastic for someone almost completely new to racing, like me. It won't make me a world-class handicapper, but it's perfect for being able to look at a field of horses and somewhat confidently pick out a few likely contenders. If you already know the basics, you're not going to get much out of this book.The wagering strategy is great for beginners and opens to the door on the world of exotics while giving a newbie some idea of the bankroll one needs to seriously play them.
The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because it's terrible on the Kindle 2. The author routinely uses actual Equibase horse program excerpts for making his points, but the print is tiny in real life, let alone the Kindle 2. Even with the Zoom function they're absolutely impossible to read.
The content on its own is still worth the price, but I wish I'd gone with a paper version.

Very Informative Book, Sep 3 2009
By Michael G. Hupp - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handicapping 101: A Horse Racing Primer (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I went to Delaware Park yesterday and lost about as much as a usually do. However, I felt much more comfortable reading the racing form and making bets.
Listmania!
