The Quinn book is okay, but some of the essays are a little complex to be broken down into excerpts; a lot of them could be or are books on their own.

I like Davidowitz's book "Betting Thoroughbreds A Guide for the Professional Horseplayer" as an overall view of handicapping. I also enjoyed Illman's book on Maidens and Two Year Olds--for someone who didn't/doesn't know much about pedigrees it gave a quick overview on the influential sires, particularly those that throw offspring with early speed.
