Back in print after many years, this tough, down-to-earth guide to handicapping horses has been sought after by many handicappers. Jones was a public handicapper for one of the West's largest newspapers where he consistently led the field in predictions. He holds the record for the most winners ever picked in one season at Santa Anita and Oak Tree. In his book, he details how he beats the races and produces more winners paying more money than most think possible. The book is divided into two parts: Part one is the Speed Handicapper's Tools and it consists of speed charts, track variants, weight, post position jockey and trouble factors. The second part deals with Putting the Tools to Work and consists of when to play/pass, the fraction play, distance shift, sprinters who can route, routers who can sprint, track switch play, watch the grass and how to bet. Containing many charts to illustrate the methods, this book has stood the test of time. 154 Pgs. 2004
