Exotic Betting is #1 on my list, but I don’t wanna order only 1 book from BN.com, might as well get a few, but nothing is really jumping out at me. Here are some others I was thinking about

Handicapping the Wall Street Way by Mark Ripple
Value Betting at the Racetrack by David Johnson
Expert Handicapping, Revised Edition by Dave Litfin
Bet With the Best II by Daily Racing Form (I have read volume 1)
Best of Thoroughbred Handicapping by James Quinn
Handicapping for Bettor or Worse by John Lindley
Handicapping Contest Handbook by Noel Michaels

If anyone has any feedback on any of those I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

thanks for the help

i was on amazon.com and also caught a glance of this one, which i've never seen before:

The Tuttle Way: Applied Methodologies On "How To" Interpret The Racing Form From A Winning Horseplayer by Joseph J Tuttle (Paperback - May 14, 2008)

** seems like this tuttle guy has a couple books out there and they seem to get solid reviews
