DRF'S BRAD FREE newest book is really good, both for the beginners and the pro's. It covers all the aspects of the game. The section on CLASS and SPEED/PACE are very helpful. The best thing I found is can the horses running today meet the SPEED PAR for the race!

I agree. I found that this book was helpful in bringing me back to the basics. After a while you try to be so innovative an inventive - looking for new angles that sometimes you forget the simple things. The book is an easy read, very helpful. Of all the DRF books I've read. This is the best.

I agree - sometimes you can start to get so complicated in your analysis that you slowly can remove yourself from some of the basic things you used to look out for that worked - this book is useful in reminding you of the basics and it's a very nice review.

Hi - for the last person who posted - I got mine at Barnes and Noble. I don't know if you live near a Barnes and Noble but you can do several things - you can get the book information from amazon.com (their website is www.amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com)) - do a search under books and order it through them or take the information to Barnes and Noble and ask them to order it for you (they don't charge anything to order a book for you) or get the publisher's information from the amazon website and do the same - good luck.
