Horseplayer Monthly - January/February Issue - For Free
Our first issue of the year contains an article by Melissa Nolan about 3-year-olds that are flying under the radar, a TimeformUS analysis of layoff horses, and Lenny Moon's case study of effective takeout rates based on a pick 5 carryover at Golden Gate Fields in December 2015.
Also included is a piece by Barry Meadow explaining what's a good bet, Neal Benoit's interview with NYRA's Maggie Wolfendale, a look at the past, present, and future of the National Handicapping Championship, and much more.

I enjoy these issues--especially Lenny Moon's articles--he seems to relate well to regular schmucks like me. Been a subscriber of his newsletter for years.

Honestly, it would be the only magazine I would dish out money for regularly.

I had not read one of these in a while before this one. All I can say is, "WOW!" What a publication it has become!
Great job!

One reason I post here is to prevent atrophy of my (limited) writing skills.
Stephen King once likened it to working a muscle out. "Just 15 min per day will make it stronger," he said.
The best advice I ever got on writing, by the way, was: be lively, be precise.
And edit your efforts as if you hate words.
I also like writing. It's an interest and (somewhat neglected) ambition of mine.
This post was today's workout.

This didn't make it in the magazine b/c the event ended after we published but HANA's Charlie Davis finished third and wrote this piece about his experience and talked about some of his strategies and preparation for the event.
