Containing many quotes from famous gamblers of yesteryear and a points rating system that will put you onto the legitimate contenders, this is a must read for all harness handicapping fans. The most valuable aspect of this work is the elimination rules which allow the bettor to get rid of the non-contenders, right off the bat. Some of these eliminations are overlooked by the betting public, which will give you overlay opportunites.The angles Professor Igor mentions are still valid today. For those track addicts that spend much time at the track, his description of the "head turned horse" is a great one to look for in the cheap claimers where a horse's form varies from week to week and horses racing "gimpy" aren't uncommon.Although points rating systems for handicapping S-breds should be taken with a grain of salt due to the difficulty in quantifying inter-related and overlapping winning factors numerically, even the seasoned veteran player should be able to profit from this one.

Shows reader how to disect the elements of harness racing and sets up a plausible system, while being light and humorous reading. The system offered is simple and fast, but I haven't been able to show a profit with it. The system may now be outdated or localized to his home track. But whatever the case, the aspiring player needs only to be able to combine these elements in the right way for their track to win.
