Ainslie, Tom Ainslie's Complete Guide to Thoroughbred Racing: Third Edition
Fireside 1988 0671656554 / 9780671656553 Trade Paperback Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Very-nice copy - NO writing, makrs or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - Illustrated throughout - 349 pages - Here is the third edition of the most complete, comprehensive and reliable guide to handicapping and understanding thoroughbred racing. Through twenty best-selling years, Ainslie's Complete Guide to Thoroughbred Racing has taught generations of racing fans how to become expert handicappers and pick winners at the track consistently. Now, in this all-new third edition, Ainslie turns his celebrated wit, clarity and no-nonsense realism to the latest trends and changes in thoroughbred racing. He shows how any handicapper - whether neophyte or veteran - can improve results by taking advantage of new technology like instant video replays of races, computerized pre-race displays of probably pari-mutual prices and increasingly detailed Daily Racing Form past-performance records. Ainslie warns you against the oversimplified home computer handicapping programs and explains how tenient anti-drugging regulations and lax enforcement have changed the sport. As always, Ainslie doesn't just give the rules of handicapping; he explains how the various components of expert handicapping relate to one another. And he emphasizes that it is less important to know all the rules of handicapping than it is to understand the principles from which they derive. This third edition also contains some classic Ainslie features.

Hillenbrand, Laura Seabiscuit: An American Legend
Ballantine Books 2003 0345465083 / 9780345465085 Mass Market Paperback Fine 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
Near-new copy - Appears unread - NO writing, marks or tears - Illustrated with photos - Seabiscuit was an unlikely champion: a roughhewn, undersized horse with a sad little tail and knees that wouldn't straighten all the way. But, thanks to the efforts of three men, Seabiscuit became one of the most spectacular performers in sports history. The rags-to-riches horse emerged as an American cultural icon, drawing an immense following and becoming the single biggest newsmaker of 1938 -- receiving more coverage than FDR or Hitler. Laura Hillenbrand beautifully renders this story of one horse's journey from also-ran to national luminary.
