Cheap DQ's imo - and one of the agents say the stewards have an agenda against him - and I guess they want to take it out on the bettors as well.

Do yourself a favor and read the Jane Schwartz book instead.
I think I still have my copy laying around the house somewhere if you are interested.

I have that and the Seabiscuit book laying around somewhere as well - still haven't read either.

Outside of handicapping books, I'm not much of a book person I guess. After about reading four pages - I'll jump to chapter 8 and read a few pages - than if I'm real intersted I'll read backwards a little - if not, I'll just read the last page.

I like the way The Art of War was written. No nonsense and to the point. Plus, I can listen to it on Youtube while I'm napping.
