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.

Quinn's book is fabulous from the perspective that it points you in the direction of some other ideas. After reading this, I really branched out in search of authors I hadn't seen before.
Davidowitz's book is probably the best, most comprehensive approach to handicapping that I've read.
I enjoyed Illman's book myself and think his book and Cardello's "Speed to Spare" are the best of the DRF press series.
Dave Litfin's "Expert Handicapping" is another I read recently that I would strongly recommend.
