The Handicapper's Library

Great Handicapping and
Horse Racing Information

 




The library is divided into two major sections: Articles and Commentaries. Articles are focused more toward hands-on handicapping. Commentaries are opinion pieces and writings about the overall experience and enjoyment of the game--things you would kick around in conversation with fellow horseplayers between races at the track or simulcast location. While some of the entries date back even before 2000, all were screened to make sure the information contained is still applicable or still of interest today.
 

 

Each linked page contains not just one, but a number of articles relating to the subject. New listings are added at regular intervals.
