Overview

A classic guide to handicap strategies in the field of thoroughbred racing.
Just as football evolved with the introduction of the forward pass and basketball with the development of the jump shot, so too was handicapping forever changed by the use of speed figures — it all started with Andrew Beyer. Picking Winners is essential reading for both serious horseplayers and curious amateurs. It is often referenced by stock options traders for insight into the numbers game.
