Getting your hands on a copy this latest title is like having access to the best ideas of more than two dozen different books and 21 authors who are also top handicappers. Indeed this new edition has 13 new handicappers, and their essays (ideas) who came along in the late 1980s to the 2lst Century. (The original book was published in 1987.) The book looks at changes and updates to the Sport of Kings since the late 1980s in regard to handicapping. How has The Form changed? How important is early speed and the concept of Speed Points? Huey Mahl's great analysis of money management techniques (also called Optimal Betting), is covered, along with how he discovered and polished the concept from J.L. Kelly a math whiz with the Bell Telephone Co. of the 1950s. It was Kelly who came up with the "Kelly Criterion" and Mahl who translated it into readable, understandable material. (For more information, check out Howard Schwartz's review dated Nov 19, 2003, accessible from the GBC home page.) 326 pages, hardbound, November 2003.
