Weighting for Winners by Jim Adams

Understand and beat the Official Handicapper with this easy guide to handicapping your own horses in high class handicap sprints.

For many serious followers of horseracing there are few more fascinating races than five and six furlong handicaps, yet not too many punters know how to approach these races in a logical and methodical way.

Horses win races when they are well handicapped and weighting for winn£rs shows the way in which anyone who is prepared to do the comparatively small amount of study involved can list with reasonable accuracy those horses which are being asked to do less than they have done before, thus fulfilling one of the guiding principles in the selection of winners.

This book is unique in that it makes an in-depth study of fifty eight of the better class sprint handicaps run during 2008, and clearly shows the differences between the compilation of a private handicap and commercial ratings as well as offering a guide to the way in which the Official Handicapper works, whilst the reader's attention is also drawn to many aspects of form study.
