Inside Horse Racing: A By-the-Numbers Look at Thoroughbred Racing

A by-the-numbers guide to the sport of thoroughbred horse racing

Jay Hovdeyâ€™s fascinating and easy-to-follow look at the Sport of Kings puts the complex racing game into a refreshing new light. His facts, figures, and commentary can help you:

â€¢ Compare the horses. From the past and present greats to the almost 80,000 thoroughbreds that race every yearâ€”how can you tell a good horse from a great horse?
â€¢ Compare the jockeys. From Angel Cordero to Willie Shoemakerâ€”what kinds of races are they most likely to win?
â€¢ Compare the trainers. Who are the specialists? What kinds of horses do they win with?
â€¢ Understand handicapping. The significanceâ€”or insignificanceâ€”of betting systems. What do big-time handicappers look for in a horse race? Learn to be an informedâ€”and improvedâ€”handicapper.

Itâ€™s a safe wager that everyone from equine experts to once-a-year punters will know the races better, bet the races with more confidence, and enjoy the races like never once they read this book.
