Bill-
do you have any titles in particular? I own about 300 books....

I have a photocopy of Thoroughbred Racing: Percentages and Probabilities. (Just a skinny little small-sized pamphlet that runs to about 32 pages of text if I recall. I'm not sure whether that was just a "user's manual" that was included with a larger study of the same name, or whether thr pamphlet was the whole work by itself. I don't have any larger study.)

I should have mentioned that the photocopy I have is not a "bootleg" copy. I also have the original, but because of the original's small size, I made an 8-1/2" x 11" copy of it so it wouldn't be as easy to misplace or lose.

Hey Bill,
You might want to check out Overlay's link in his post - good site, very good products along the line you are interested in. I highly recommend anything there! :ThmbUp::ThmbUp::ThmbUp:

I rechecked the pamphlet that I mentioned having, and it is in fact "Thoroughbred Racing: Probability Computation" which is the small companion volume to Davis' larger study, "Thoroughbred Racing: Percentages and Probabilities" (which I understand is 54 pages (8-1/2" x 11"), but which I do not have). There are references to the "Thoroughbred Racing: Percentages and Probabilities" study on the internet, but I couldn't find a copy available for sale.

Thoroughbred Racing: Percentages and Probabilities was published in 1974 by Millwood Publications Inc. It is 8 1/2 X11 and runs 23 pages. Don't know of anything else by Fred Davis.

I too have the booklet but not the large book. I received it in a hand held

computer I bought from ebay. It was just a throw in and I remembered

Fred Davis from my early days of handicapping.
