This link has 4.

Very outdated now but leading edge for Australia in the 70-90s.

Doubt if pdf and electronic copies were made from original hardbacks. Don died in 96.

Thanks very much. One of my mentors claims that the basic principles in Scott's books can still be used to construct statistical systems with a positive expectation, so I'd like to read them. They're very hard to find though.

I am not sure which one of his books I read, it had a picture of him and some gold lettering on cover, I had a flood in my basement and it was destroyed.

I can tell you this I don't remember anything ground breaking in his books. They were sort of "Beyerish" for lack of another word telling about some of the scores he made, etc. I think there was a great deal of text about post draw, and weight.

I purchase that book and another which were supposed to be the bibles of AUS racing. I still have the other one in my other home, it survived. In a month or so I can give you the name of it, and the author.

From these book titles, it seems as though Scott is really focused on winning.

That was the fantasy. The ironic reality was that he committed suicide in 1996 and police did not break the doors down until 6 days after.
