Ainslie's Complete Guide to Thoroughbred Racing: Third Edition
|
|
|
Fireside, 1988 Very-nice copy - NO writing, makrs or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - Illustrated throughout - 349 pages - Here is the third edition of the most complete, comprehensive and reliable guide to handicapping and understanding thoroughbred racing. Through twenty best-selling years, Ainslie's Complete Guide to Thoroughbred Racing has taught generations of racing fans how to become expert handicappers and pick winners at the track consistently. Now, in this all-new third edition, Ainslie turns his celebrated wit, clarity and no-nonsense realism to the latest trends and changes in thoroughbred racing. He shows how any handicapper - whether neophyte or veteran - can improve results by taking advantage of new technology like instant video replays of races, computerized pre-race displays of probably pari-mutual prices and increasingly detailed Daily Racing Form past-performance records. Ainslie warns you against the oversimplified home computer handicapping programs and explains how tenient anti-drugging regulations and lax enforcement have changed the sport. As always, Ainslie doesn't just give the rules of handicapping; he explains how the various components of expert handicapping relate to one another. And he emphasizes that it is less important to know all the rules of handicapping than it is to understand the principles from which they derive. This third edition also contains some classic Ainslie features.. Trade Paperback. Near-Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

The rags-to-riches horse emerged as an American cultural icon, drawing an immense following and becoming the single biggest newsmaker of 1938 -- receiving more coverage than FDR or Hitler.

Tight spine, clean pages. 216 pages. Illustrated. Annotation This vital book for both hose owners and riders explains the workings of the horse's basic system. Publishers Weekly The amateur horse owner will find this no-frillsand sometimes eye-openingguide to care and conditioning a useful addition to the stable reference library. There are straightforward descriptions of the equine anatomyskeletal, muscular, digestive, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems, and skin and coatand a horse's potential afflictions. Pascoe, a senior editor at Practical Horseman and Performance Horseman magazines, believes that a horse's useful life span can be greatly extended and many ailments avoided by preventive maintenance. To this end, she delineates a program that includes conditioning (a process that should never be rushed), feeding, basic care and minimizing stress. Since requirements of the pleasure mount, hunter and race horse, for example, differ widely, Pascoe also explains how to adjust the program to supply individual needs. Illustrations. . First Edition.

Synopsis "To appreciate Shy Boy," writes horse gentler Monty Roberts, "you must see him or his kind running free and easy, in a wide open space." This compelling story, and the breathtaking photographs that accompany it, offer a chance to do just that. During a dramatic three-day ride across miles of high desert, Monty Roberts used all his skill to connect with the little mustang he finally befriended. In the year that followed, Shy Boy grew to love life on the farm, playfully demanding attention, and becoming fascinated by children. After a year of challenges and one frightening illness, the wild horse's exceptional spirit earned the respect and admiration of his trainers. And, as a result of a PBS-aired program based on his initial encounter with Roberts, Shy Boy gained international fame. Yet throughout this extraordinary year, Monty Roberts struggled with the question, "Would Shy Boy rather be free?" With trepidation, he took Shy Boy back to the wild to let him choose. The event, and its stunning conclusion, are memorably captured in these magnificent photographs and in a story that is both unforgettable and inspiring. Biography Monty Roberts and his wife, Pat, live in California on their Flag Is Up Farms. . First Edition. Trade Paperback. Near-Fine.

Funny Cide: How a horse, a trainer, a jockey, and a bunch of high school buddies took on the sheiks and blue bloods ... and won
|
|
|
Putnam Pub Group, 2004 Like-new copy - NO remainder makrs or price clippings - Price inside $24.95 - 279 pages - Illustrated with photos - In 2003, a three-year-old with an irrepressible personality and the unlikely name of Funny Cide became "the people's horse," the unheralded New York-bred gelding who -- in a time of war and economic jitters -- inspired a nation by knocking off the champions and their multimillionaire owners and sweeping to the brink of the Triple Crown. Trained by a journeyman who had been kicking around racing for more than thirty years looking for "the one," but refusing to compromise his standards; ridden by a tough-luck jockey fighting to regain his position after years of injuries and hard knocks; and owned by a tiny stable founded by a band of high school buddies from Sackets Harbor, N.Y. (pop. 1,386), who tossed in a few thousand dollars each to follow their dream, Funny Cide became a blue-collar hero with a bit, his story crammed with colorful characters -- only one of whom happened to be a horse. Written with Sally Jenkins, coauthor of Lance Armstrong's It's Not About the Bike, Funny Cide tells the whole story -- the parts we knew and the parts we never suspected; the shocks, twists, and bursts of sheer joy -- as it follows the group's emotional ups and downs against overwhelming odds, illness, even scandal, to capture the imaginations of millions. It is a story of loyalty, hard work, and trust; of friendship and resilience; of men and women staying true to themselves above all. It is a book for the underdog in all of us -- a new American classic. Sackatoga Stable is owned by ten people -- led by managing partner Jackson Knowlton -- whose jobs range from catering to construction to health care. Unlike Funny Cide's million-dollar brethren, who make a quick killing and then get retired to stud, their horse will race for all his fans to see as long as he is healthy and happy -- conceivably for years to come. .

Written with Sally Jenkins, coauthor of Lance Armstrong's It's Not About the Bike, Funny Cide tells the whole story -- the parts we knew and the parts we never suspected; the shocks, twists, and bursts of sheer joy -- as it follows the group's emotional ups and downs against overwhelming odds, illness, even scandal, to capture the imaginations of millions. It is a story of loyalty, hard work, and trust; of friendship and resilience; of men and women staying true to themselves above all. It is a book for the underdog in all of us -- a new American classic. Sackatoga Stable is owned by ten people -- led by managing partner Jackson Knowlton -- whose jobs range from catering to construction to health care. Unlike Funny Cide's million-dollar brethren, who make a quick killing and then get retired to stud, their horse will race for all his fans to see as long as he is healthy and happy -- conceivably for years to come. . Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. more information
