This essential handicapping book shows readers how to deal effectively with the elusive class factor for all horses racing at every racetrack.

Library Journal

Quinn provides a new twist to thoroughbred handicapping by considering past performance and class in terms of the eligibility conditions of the present race. He analyzes how horses become eligible for particular races and how the bettor can spot the best horses. Two useful appendixes are a synthesis of his guidelines and a compilation of graded and listed stakes in seven countries which will aid the bettor in equating foreign-raced horses to U.S ones. This book is for the advanced handicapper; it is a complex approach best read in small doses. Recommended for academic and public libraries. Susan Hamburger, Florida State Univ. Lib., Tallahassee
