Quinn did write in chapter 45 of his book "The Best of Thoroughbred Handicapping" these comments about Cary Fotias' book called "Blinkers Off" and his product called "The XTras":
Unfortunately, by mentioning only his own speed/pace figures as the necessary handicapping tools on literally every page of the book, Fotias's book comes off as just a self-serving advertisement for his handicapping services...and the reader loses interest in the book long before he gets to the real meat of the topic. If he had stated that the other speed/pace figures could also be used in the implementation of his handicapping ideas...then the book would have been much more popular among the general gambling public, IMO.
