Review Quotes

"This exuberant memoir will delight the hearts, improve the minds, and fatten the bankrolls of horseplayers everywhere." -Tom Ainslie "Andy Beyer goes to the races for all of us. Reading his book is like winning the exacta." -Jim Murray, Los Angeles Times "My $50000 Year at the races is an entertaining odyssey through the land of the handicapper. Andrew Beyer's approach to the arcane art of selecting winners makes for fascinating reading. His expertise is obvious, even to the layman, but he does not conceal the central thrust of the book- how to pick a winner- behind a façade of technical verbiage, This is good reading, start to finish." -Joe Hirsch "Horseplayers should forget today's daily double, exacta, and triple- and put their money on this sure winner." -Bill Surface, author of The Track
