you didn't specify if the bok is for handicapping or just to read...my fav is Stud: Adventures in Breeding...there are some laugh out loud moments in that book...it's great.

I enjoyed that book too...the description of Dynaformer was probably the funniest as this was before I'd ever actually seen breeding 'in practice'. LOL I enjoyed Three Strides from the Wire.

I'm also a sucker for the coffee table type book...I love Barbara Livingston's Old Friends... and I have a beautiful book by Yann Arthus-Bertrand that is simply titled Horses ... it covers many breeds and styles but there is racing in one section

I have two: first Brian mayfield smyths book
about a trainer who started life as a jackaroo & his outlook on training & life. Second;" Northerly" the unlikely champion. born dead brought back to life , two offset knees no good for the sales went on to win 9 million a remarkable book about a horse who just hated losing. my favorite memory of this horse was not of it winning but watching this horse race & take a chunk out of the horse next to it who was trying to pass it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn6TgKmX6TM .
