This book interweaves her own personal experiences in various facets of the horse racing game with lessons in racing history and stories of famous people in the racing industry. Recommended reading for all racing fans who value the human-interest side of the sport. http://www.horse-races.net/library/review-071102.htm How to Calculate Odds and Payoffs A handy chart of $2 wager payoffs for various odds plus how to calculate the exact odds for a win bet yourself from information available on the toteboard. http://horseracing.about.com/library/weekly/aa071002a.htm Contest: Win "Ride of Their Lives" Register to win a copy of the book "Ride of Their Lives" by Lenny Shulman courtesy of Eclipse Press. Entries will close on July 13th. Last chance to enter! http://www.horse-races.net/ridelivescontest.htm Breeders' Cup Future Bet Final Odds Betting was light but that was to be expected since the wagering was so far in advance of the races. Is Street Cry really a worthwhile bet at 4-1 with 3 1/2 months to go before the race is run? http://www.horse-races.net/library/bcfb-pool1.htm -- ON THE FORUM -- Caller One retired due to injury GRYFKAT writes, "Fractured a sesamoid training at Belmont. They aren't sure if surgery will be necessary. He's flying to Florida to Chapman's farm." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5615.6 Sunday Silence vs. Easy Goer, revisited EARLY11 writes, "If not for bonehead Pat Day rides in the Preakness (especially) and in the Classic, the head to head would have been at least 2-2 and maybe 3-1 the other way. But Sunday Silence was dead game, so I have to say he deserves credit and the two will always be discussed in much the same way Affirmed - Alydar are discussed (although that rivalry was much more one sided and I can't for the life of me understand anyone thinking Alydar was the equal of Affirmed as a race horse). But that's another can." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5615.6 -- SCHEDULES -- Television Schedule What's on TV this week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/bltvsched.htm Stakes Race Schedule Listing of stakes races with purses of $75,000 and up for the next week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/blstakessched.htm -- Racing Polls -- NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 07/08/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
