Since this thread's been revived, I'll take a second to ask if anybody's read the new book by Dorothy Ours called "Battleship"? She'd really appreciate reviews on Amazon. He's a US and English Grand National-winning (the only horse to do both) son of Man O' War owned by Mrs. Marion duPont Scott. The book's thorough about the connections as well as the horse, which is really how Seabiscuit was handled by Laura Hillenbrand.

Total shameless self plug here, but I just signed a publishing deal for a novel based on my own gambling degeneracy. It'll be December when it's published, but will be available through all avenues.

here's the website I had to set up that has some info about it.

"...gripping to the one familiar thing in their life."



Whether it be gambling or a host of other things -- excellent and very real theme. Please let us know when it is released.

Downloaded it a week ago.. At first leaf through, I think I wasted my $$. Just a bit too much for my taste, but will give it a little more time and see if it works for me.

I did just get "Figure Handicapping" by James Quinn in the mail today, and leafing through it it looks more like what I am used to.

I really enjoyed Ted McClelland's Horseplayers

It is his story of a year at following the races in the Chicago area with few forays out to the bushes. Not so much a "How To Book" but one that I believe nearly all will find interesting.

I too enjoyed this one. I read it a couple of times a year.

I just finished this book and it was awesome. Funny, scary, and relatable. Just a great read.
