More than any other form of gambling, horse racing has a dream to fit every imagination. From the great Thoroughbred farms of Kentucky to the backyard breeders across the country, and from the $2 bettors on the rail to the exclusive glass booths in the grandstand canopy, each mind is filled with hope. The dreams are so varied that they often have little in common, except that they have horses at their center.
In horse racing, any realistic dream is a little more attainable. The realistic dreams are those in the middle of the spectrum. Pick-Six bets and picking a Kentucky Derby winner out of a pen of yearlings are off opposite ends of the scale. For serious handicappers and serious horse owners, racing provides attainable goals. Both are in search of speed. As Handicapping Speed looks at each factor, from the industry in general to the finest details of the mathematics of time, it will be for the purpose of finding what adds and detracts from speed.

In The Zen of Gambling, the star of Spike TV’s Wayne Allyn Root’s WinningEDGE(tm) shows readers why-be it in the casino, on the playing field, or in the boardroom-it is so vital to take risks in life. Wayne Allyn Root lives an American Dream: he makes tons of money sitting on his couch watching sports on television. In fact, as CEO of GWIN Inc., America’s only publicly traded sports handicapping firm, Root has made a lot of people a lot of money and in this book he reveals the spiritual principles behind his consistently winning hand.
Says Wayne Allyn Root:
“Risk is what separates life’s winners from losers-the survivors from the thrivers! Success all comes down to a series of gambles: your ability to make positive choices at pivotal moments and to thrive on challenge and high levels of stress. Sending out a resume; going on a job interview; asking that stranger on a date; the courage to pick up the phone and make a call that could change your life for the better-all of life’s big decisions and defining moments require a talent for (and a willingness to) risk”.
Turning popular conceptions of the chain-smoking, overweight, “down and out” Casino denizen on their head, Root shows readers how to cultivate tranquility in the face of the stressful, life-defining moments and to bring a Zen consciousness to taking risks. Presenting a unique Contrarian approach to gambling that involves never following the masses and always taking the lead in life, Wayne Allyn Root shows readers how to successfully navigate the many gambles in life.
