Everyone that regularly plays the horses is in constant pursuit of the player's holy grail: the humongous longshot. Many of the authors from the first 2001 edition of Bet With The Best have gathered together again to contribute their expertise on where and when these high-priced horses can be found. By using various successful and proven handicapping theories and angles, the reader learns how to uncover live horses that regularly return boxcar prices while most of the racing public still remains in the dark.
This book is very interesting about how to bet and all the parameters. If you are interested in horse racing, this is an interesting book.

Bet With the Best 2: Longshots

I am only about halfway through this book and have already spotted several new tips. More importantly, in reading Crist's chapter on Exotics and Value I stumbled on some big leaks in my multi-race betting. Well worth the money.
Really enjoyed this one

Pick this one up. You'll enjoy the read and be able to add some things to look for in your handicapping. The book obviously covers 'longshots'. Each author (quite a few from the DRF team) has an individual chapter and they each have a specific category that they write about when looking for a live longshot (examples: pedigree, foreign shippers, cutbacks in distance, etc.).
