Title: Mr. Trifecta

Has anyone read this book. Below is a review from a reader.

Reviewer: A reader from boynton beach, fl United Statesal
The book promises a strictly numerical approach to exotic selections but more than one winning example was the result of a "by the number" horse that "looked" poorly conditioned being replaced in the exotic bet by a non-numerical selection that "looked" fit and ready.Very difficult for most people to correctly make that assessment at the track and impossible to make it at simulcast. The system may still have some merit but I've not had the chance to test it. However, I've seen a similar approach on another type of exotic bet in a book by Al Ilich "How to Pick Winners". The difference is that Al packs his book with lots more information on other aspects of racing.Sorry but this book's promise is misleading and it's sorely overpriced. Do I feel like I've been taken? You can bet on it!
