Summary: Through the pace window, clearly........
Comment: One of the half dozen best (meaning most valuable in terms of actually winning money at the track) handicapping books I've read in over 30 years in the game. The best, and simplest, method for rating pace I've seen. The method of play suggested by Mr. Pizzolla is bent toward the production of longshot winners. I began playing the method within a few days of reading the book. I cashed tickets on longshots (like Statesville, at better than 19.00 to one, in the 9th at Woodbine on September 14, 2001) I'd not have given a second thought to before. You will have to accept some contrary ideas and absorb some detailed practice. It is worth the time and effort.

Summary: No Black Box - Analysis still required
Comment: The software is easy to use and the book does not teach any new principles of pace handicapping. The two simple pace rating is as good as any pace rating which one can create. The problem with the software is that it picks the last paceline of the horse for dirt races, and on turf races, it selects all the turf pacelines for the horse. This leaves the user with the task of proper contender and paceline selection. The author provides guidelines to contender and paceline selection; however the user will still need to make analysis of the race in order to succeed, if one follows blinded to the computer output, one will be greatly disappointed. It's not a black box, judgment and thinking is required to interpret the numbers. The section on money management is a little vague, the author shows in his book that he makes most of his money in exactas and trifectas betting rather than straight win bets. Unless, one has a big bankroll for exotic betting, be ready to go through a roller coaster ride in exotic betting.
