Personally, I think his stuff's a bit overrated. . . $30 is sort of cheap for that kind of thing, though, so I guess it couldn't hurt.

I've looked at Mazur's stuff for both the Triple Crown Series and the Breeders Cup. It is interesting and full of information/trends. But the fact is that the decision is still yours on your actual wagers. It can help point you in the right direction and for the price is a reasonable bargain. One good pick based on his info will cover the cost. I use it strictly as a supplement to my own handicapping/research.

I think these are useful tools. Mazur isn't selling opinions in the books, just providing data. How you choose to incorporate that into your handicapping is up to you.

They are free Sat @ Ft. Erie. Just got to attend one of his seminars.

I usually buy the 3 or 4 books a year from him.

The Sire Ratings is worth the

.
It saves some time having all that info in a small book but, Formulator has the same type info.

Huge fan of Mazur's stuff.

As mentioned above, it's very stat-based. His "Saratoga Handicapper" has been a part of my summers the last three and I love it. It's not a tout by any means. But that Saratoga-specific stats have helped me find some great prices.

I get that book, the trainer stats and check for updates on his website.

Between that, the Form, replays..you'll have more info than you can handle.
