Extreme Pace Handicapping: If You Doodle They Will Come
By Randy Giles
http://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Pace-Handicapping-Doodle-They/dp/1438222742/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226204673&sr=8-1
I have had this book for several months. Initially, I struggled to get into it because in the beginning of the book, the author does not do a great job of explaining his concepts.
A couple of days ago I decided that I need to put forth the time to try to understand what Randy was saying. With a little diligence I got past the early stumbling blocks and found a really excellent piece of work.
Randy breaks races down using a relatively simple approach once you understand it. He uses a combination of Quirin Early Speed Points, the horse's running styles (E, EP, P, P/C) and what he calls the "pace pressure guage" to create a pace picture.
This is very good stuff. I highly recommend this book.
Can't wait to add some of the features to my software. <G>
Regards,
Dave Schwartz
