Product Description
How to enjoy a day at the races–and bet to win!
The last two years have seen a record number of Americans tune in for climatic Triple Crown races featuring Smarty Jones and Funny Cide; in 2004, television viewership jumped a whopping 61 percent over the record set in 2003, and the Belmont Stakes race itself drew a record crowd of more than 120,000! This easy–to–understand guide shows first–time visitors to the track how to enjoy the sport of horse racing–and make smart bets. It explains what goes on at the track, what to look for in horses and jockeys, how to read a racing form and do simple handicapping, and how to manage betting funds and make wagers that stand a good chance of paying off. Complete with coverage of off–track and online betting, it′s just what anyone needs to play the ponies–and win!
Richard Eng (Las Vegas, NV) is a racing writer and handicapper for the Las Vegas Review–Journal, a columnist for the Daily Racing Form, and the host of a horseracing radio program in Las Vegas. He was formerly a part of the ABC Sports team that covered the Triple Crown.
