Think about it. You don't have anything to lose.

A fun read is Horseplayers: Life at the Track, by Ted McClelland.

He's a Chicago Reader writer (!!) who spends a year at Arlington, Hawtorne and other tracks.

In fact, the first interested person to PM me their address will recieve the book postage free, courtesy of Sent To Stud Enterprises.

I'm currently reading The Wrong Horse by William Murray. Believe it or not, it's a great book about losing. Great writing style and lots of funny stories about misfortune at the track.
