Not a handicapping book but this book may be of interest to those who frequented Green Mountain Park in Vermont many years ago.

Figman,

Your post took me back to the late '60s when my buddy and I drove up there to bet an Aqueduct refugee called Rome Express whose front-running sprint capabilities appeared to overshadow his local opposition. He was caught of course by a closer called Minado whose every overtaking stride in the stretch seemed a study in slow-motion to sink my stomach and a valuable life lesson was learned.

Your post also took me back to the 60's when i also used to take that 4 hour ride up route 7 in ct. to that little track in pownal,knowing that when you crossed that final railrosd crossing you were finally there.
I also remember that if you played anything but chalk you would have an even longer ride home.
