This witty exposé of horse racing and betting on the horses in America goes behind the scenes at the track, providing a serious gambler's-eye-view of the action. McClelland spent a year at tracks and off-track betting facilities in Chicago and across the country interviewing and profiling the people who make a career of gambling on horses. This book is the written journal of his personal journey to discover what it means to be a player as he gambles with his book advance using various betting and handicapping strategies along the way. He meets some interesting people along the way, including the intensely disciplined Scott McMannis "The Professor", a onetime college instructor who now teaches a course in handicapping, and Mary Schoenfeldt, a former nun and gifted handicapper who donates all of her winnings to charity. This account of wins, losses, and personal turmoil provides a sobering look at gamblers, gambling, and life at the track. 263 pages, hardbound, 2005.
