The best payoffs I've had at the track were generated by extreme
pace aberrations. Those nice payoffs didn't come from pedestrians.
I'm talking about thieves and carpetbaggers, opportunists who were
ordinary but found themselves in extraordinary situations - the
right place, the right time. When I started playing the extreme
pace way, it made such a difference that I dedicated my
handicapping life to it. Extreme Pace Handicapping will show you
what made the difference and why. It's simple, really. I like to
call it pace picture doodling. If you doodle it, they will come:
The Thief, The Clever Thief, The Loner, and the Carpetbagger.

Raceching is one of the most innovative and exciting books ever
written. Based on the Confucian classic I Ching, it is written in a
unique earthy style that is easy to understand and will appeal to
all age groups. The author whose name is the same as the book adds
his own ground breaking techniques when it comes to showing people
how to make everyday predictions by using the Chinese oracle.
Race has included new information in regard to the lines of the I
Ching, by describing a series of actions which he calls single line
tenses. These are a set of drawings, showing in graphic detail the
actions of each and every line of the sixty-four hexagrams, when
they move and change into another (moving line).
Raceching shows a new way to form the hexagrams by a simple
process of word and letter counting, this is not only easy to
operate, but deadly accurate when making predictions. There is also
a chapter dedicated to a technique called psychic anagramming,
where readers learn a new way to predict the future by looking for
hidden words in a person's name.
However, the most exciting feature about Raceching, is that it
centres on horse racing and betting. Race shows his readers how to
turn their daily morning newspaper racing page into an exciting new
word/anagram game that can pick winners and make profit. I Ching
hexagrams are constructed from the name/ time of a horse race by a
simple process of word and letter counting. We look for a word or
words in the name of the horse - matching it with the Raceching
book's blueprint of the winner. There are five logical rules race
has invented to make this one of the most exciting word games since
the birth of the crossword Raceching, canssomething that is similar
to what housewives do on big race days, i.e. looking for
personalised word names on a race card that means something to them
and their intuition, such as the name of a pet or relative's
nickname. It all sounds crazy to the form study boys who have
backed the favourite until the thing wins at 33/1- and nobody
laughs anymore.
Raceching will appeal to not only followers of I Ching, but also
anyone who loves horse racing and gaming in general. It will also
appeal to people who love making words, anagrams and letter
puzzles. It is a dual purpose I Ching book in one.
Raceching the author is an Englishman with an outstanding
knowledge of I Ching. He has based his book around the UK racing
scene, but it is easily adapted to fit world markets. This book is
the first of its kind, entirely innovative and new in relation to
other I Ching publications. When Race says the future is an
anagram.... he means it
Raceching.
The opportunity to make money in the fast-growing sport of Quarter
Horse racing--more than $350 million is wagered in the US, Mexico,
and Canada--is greater than ever. However, few racing fans
understand the sport because very little published literature
exists. "Fast Horses, Fast Money" educates and entertains racing
fans by providing an in-depth analysis of the sport--from a veteran
horseplayer's unique point of view. Featuring new research on 286
actual winning racehorses, the book teaches all levels of gamblers,
horseplayers, handicappers, and horsemen how to win more gambling
and purse money--and hit long shots. Every important racing
factor--including jockeys, trainers, breeders, owners, speed
indexes, post positions, class, recent form, the tote board, and
much more--is analyzed. The book has been featured on TVG and
endorsed by a number of leading Quarter Horse analysts, horsemen,
and handicappers.

"1,000 to 1" is an anecdotal story about the varied people--from a
cabinet officer to a bell captain--who have owned inexpensive
horses with the Hampshire partnerships, the people who have trained
and cared for the horses, and the horses themselves. This is not a
"how to" book since, during our 17 years in the business, despite
business plans and racing plans and breeding plans, and, you name
it, any other plans, the dynamics constantly changed, and we
changed with them. Racing and breeding thoroughbreds always seem to
us to be a seat of the pants enterprise, with change being a
constant. It is a story about how to spin a $2,500 share into a
two-year ownership involving three, four, and sometimes five cheap
race horses who, somehow or other, managed to reach the winner's
circle a phenomenal 20% of the time over a 17-year period, some
years twice that often. It is a story of how a group of novices
stumbled into breeding thoroughbreds successfully, accomplishing
the near impossible--that is, seeing all the foals they sent to the
races wind up in the winner's circle It is also a story of blind
faith, faith in our trainers, in our animals, and in our jockeys
who give their best for our entertainment in what can be, and often
is, the world's most dangerous sport.
Originally published in 1897, "This little work is intended as a
guide to those who have to do with horses, either as owners,
purchasers, breeders, trainers, managers, or attendants, and whose
experience has not been so extensive as those on whose knowledge it
is based. There is no pretence whatever to novelty in any of the
subjects treated; but it is to be hoped that such absence of
novelty will not detract from utility, and that the hints contained
in its pages may be found of service, and assist those who are
interested in horses and horse management when they require
assistance." Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these
