description: As the Daily Racing Form's featured handicapping columnist, Dave Litfin has become one of the most recognized and trusted authorities in the racing world. Now, for the first time in a book, Dave Litfin shares his expertise and provides an arsenal of new information, strategies, and competitive angles for smarter, more successful betting.According to Dave Litfin, there is no single, surefire system of betting. Instead, consistent success is based on a synergistic combination of class, form, speed, pace, and trainers. With his unique experience, Litfin examines hundreds of races and result charts from the Daily Racing Form and shows how to evaluate a race's possibilities from all angles and uncover the information that matters in a horse's past performances.Here, horseplayers are given the first comprehensive look at how to use speed figures to determine a horse's improving or declining form. But speed figures document only how fast a horse has raced in the past, and the form of a racehorse is constantly changing. With this in mind, Litfin discloses methods that will help handicappers recognize horses that are about to run the race of their lives and those that should be avoided, since their good form is already exposed.Written in direct, plainspoken style, and with unique access to the Daily Racing Form, Dave Litfin's Expert Handicapping offers an insider's look at the information - and strategies that will provide horseplayers with the winning edge over their competition.
