An entire chapter is devoted to each conditioner, which uncovers many profitable training methods. These top-notch outfits have clearly separated themselves from the thousands of others struggling in this competitive business. What's their secret? What do they all have in common? Each chapter follows the trainer and his staff through a typical day of barn preparation and management, which is sure to uncover some sound wagering advice during live afternoon racing.

True Insider Look5
These are up-close and personal portraits that don't pull punches. History that routinely gets glossed over elsewhere is presented and discussed. I was surprised by the level of candor that runs through the book. I've followed the careers of these guys for years and can pretty well predict what kind of responses they'll offer to any given question; what you find here is different and deeper, more reflective and strategic, primarily because the focus is total career as opposed to the questions these guys normally get, which are all about the last race or the next one. A worthwhile and recommended read.
