I don't believe there is enough uniformity in these differing "flavors" (at least the relatively new NA ones) to make any hard and fast determinations regarding them.

Keeneland and Woodbine are night and day different and both are Polytrack.

I would like to see how this one works.

Apparently it is being shipped now. DRF is charging about $25 - fugetaboudit.
Amazon and Barnes&Noble have it reasonable priced. DRF does have an excerpt, though.

Definitely. And at Amazon for most of the stuff they sell it's free shipping if the total order is over $25, & in most states no sales tax. :) Best to Always check there 1st before the rest of the usual outlets if your looking to buy handicapping books.
