No margin notes. Updated edition of a book originally published in 1981. Illustrated. From the Dust Jacket: "Part I discusses the full array of race conditions in a progression that most thoroughbreds follow, from maiden to claiming races. The section on stakes races features the increasingly important role of international racing. Part II concentrates on developing horses, notably nonclaiming three-year-olds, urging handicappers to rely on an in-depth comprehension of eligibility conditions and well-known patterns of development when the past performances do not yet tell a persuasive story. Included are two appendices, one of the selection-elimination guidelines and the other of the important stakes of seven foreign countries plus the United States." "There is hardly an aspect of thoroughbred racing that is not covered in this superb book. Quinn packs so much information and insight between the covers that one reading simply isn't enough. His money management advice is born of experience and good judgment. His uses of exotic wagering to maximize profits will benefit both the novice and professional. This book has something for handicappers of all persuasions." - Dick Mitchell, Gambling Times. 1st printing of Revised and Updated ed. Hardcover. Near Very Good condition/Near VG DJ (price clipped). 8vo. 315 pages . Seller Inventory # 011801
