Book Description

Flat track racing is very much an "only in America" sport. Some say "Americans racing motorcycles like they race horses!" Others say "the only simple and pure racing left in today's massively complicated world." The Complete Book of Flat Track Racing, when first published in 1978, was a celebration. This brand new edition sticks to the original concept but is completely reworked and re- illustrated, and continues that celebration today. Feel the dirt flying, the ground pounding vibration, and be exhausted by the massive excitement of being totally sideways in turn two aboard a Harley-Davidson XR 750! Welcome to the Thunder Dome!

Book Description

The Encyclopedia of British Horse Racing offers an innovative approach to one of Britain's oldest sports. While it considers the traditional themes of gambling and breeding, and contains biographies of human personalities and equine stars, it also devotes significant space to neglected areas. Entries include: social, economic and political forces that have influenced racing controversial historical and current issues legal and illegal gambling, and racing finance the British impact on world horseracing history and heritage of horseracing links between horse racing and the arts, media and technology human and equine biographies venues associated with racing horseracing websites The Encyclopedia of British Horse Racing provides a unique source of information and will be of great interest to sports historians as well as all those whose work or leisure brings them into the world of racing.

Book Description

The system works for UK Handicap and Non Handicap races but I tend to favour Handicap races as the prices are larger. I will concentrate only on Handicap races in this book. In summary the system works on two form variables that can be obtained from the Racing Post website and a race can be assessed in 5 minues. This horse racing system can find winners of a UK horse race very quickly and allows punters who have busy lives to assess horse form very quickly. I wrote this horse racing system as I had many emails from punters who wanted to have a bet on Saturday or day at the races but did not want to spend hours reading horse form. This system can benefit novice to professional punters.

Book Description

Extraordinary but true stories from over 150 years of racing. This hilarious, sideways look at horse racing vividly recounts many of the strangest moments and oddest incidents from over 150 years of the sport's history. Andrew Ward recalls the time when spectators mounted two fallen horses and rode them to second and third places; the race which had to be re-run because the judge wasn't in his box at the finish; the ultrasonic binoculars that allegedly stunned a horse and unseated a jockey at Ascot, and many more. A totally original, offbeat collection of extraordinary but true stories, Horse-Racing's Strangest Races will be a delight to all lovers of the turf. Word count: 60,000

Book Description

Introduction I must thank you for buying my book and appreciate any comments on the system. I have inserted my email address at the end of the book. Plus feel free to email me if you have any questions or need any help. This horse racing system took me approximately 12 months to computer model and test primarily around UK handicap horse races. This would have not been possible without my 10 years database of horse form and my I.T. computer skills. Handicap horse racing fascinates me I find it a great puzzle to solve and love form variables like weight, official rating and many more. This horse racing system has four simple steps that find winners daily and I have outlined tips to get more profit. I like using this system for betting singles and doubles which are lethal and produce massive profits! In the book I have covered a horse race in extensive detail so that you understand the system and how to apply the horse racing system to each race quickly and thus finding winners easily.
