Which one is the best that is home delivered? I know the Form is available at news stands, tracks and OTB's but is not delivered to homes.
I'm interested mostly in handicapping and/or pedigree and breeding (as a handicapper).
I've heard of "Horseplayer magazine", "Thoroughred Times", and "Bloodhorse". Any others I should consider?
Thanks,

I've subscribed to many magazines. I think the two most prominent which are geared towards handicapping (as opposed to industry news) are HorsePlayer Magazine
http://www.horseplayerdaily.com/ and American Turf Monthly
http://americanturf.com/. Of the two, I liked HorsePlayer better.
I don't subscribe to Bloodhorse anymore because of the easy access to national news, and the plethora of news outlets, on the web. However, like you, I am also from southeastern PA, and I find Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbreds
http://www.marylandthoroughbred.com/midatlantic/ to be a great magazine for regional topics of interest. The writing is really top notch (of Eclipse-winning caliber) and articles often cover local subjects not common to the other news sources.
