Andy Beyer's "Picking Winners" is a good one also.

I have always liked How to Spot the Unbeatable Horse by POINTGIVEN1985.
I suspect you might already be familiar with his work.

He is currently working on his second book: How to Bet a Million Dollars Across the Board on a 7/5 Favorite.

I heard that it's coming along nicely.

Beyer's Third Book 'The Winning Horseplayer' would get my vote as my favorite book ever written.

I'd have to go with 'Catch 22' as my favorite book ever written.

I don't seem to remember the third book as well as I remember the first two.
Beyer had four books in all.

From oldest to newest....

1st: Picking Winners
2nd: My 50K Year at the Races
3rd: The Winning Horseplayer
4th: Beyer on Speed
