Blinkers Off
How DOES one learn how to identify a well-condition horse? That's the key. Fotias is the teacher: the subject is form cycle analysis. That factor AND money management are the one-two punch separating winners from losers in the long run. For those who believe pace, deceleration, velocity, feet per second, and ground loss are vital factors in handicapping a race, there's a gold mine of information awaiting you. Fotias believes it is crucial to examine each horse's last three years of performances when the opportunity exists. He adjusts his numbers for factors like wind, weight, track configuration and track variants; what most intelligent, dedicated players have sought for years. The book explores the dozen important variables handicappers should consider for every starter in a race since each has “ a certain amount of energy available to distribute” in the event. Those factors are: a horse's particular running style, the pace demand of the race, distance, surface, bias, the jockey, trainer, weight, post position, final time ability, racing luck, and the horse's current condition. 195 Pages Paperbound 2002

When Capone’s Mob Murdered Roger Touhy
Subtitled "The Strange Case of Touhy, Jake the Barber and the Kidnapping That Never Happened'. When Prohibition ruled America in the 1920's, it produced a lawless decade and lawless citizens. A mob boss like Al Capone became not only the era's leading bootlegger but also a pioneer and kingpin in the union extortion racket, a golden source of easy money and underworld power. But there was another major crime figure in the windy city as well; a gangster who emerged from the poverty-drenched Irish slum section in Chicago known as the Valley. His name was Roger Touhy, the son of an honest Chicago policeman and the youngest of the six so-called "Terrible Touhy" brothers. Together the brothers ruled over a small but strong criminal empire on the city's outskirts, manufacturing and distributing beer, running unions and supporting their war against Capone's criminal syndicate through a series of widespread and lucrative robberies of the U.S. mail. This is the story of Roger Touhy's turbulent life. Bibliography Photographs 267 Pgs. 2001 Hardcover
