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

Susan Berman grew up in Las Vegas luxury as the daughter of

Davie Berman, casino mogul and notorious mafia leader. After her father

died she learned about his mob connections. Susan then dedicated her

life to learning about Vegas and its underworld chiefs. Her life took a

bizarre turn in l982 when Kathie Durst??_??_??_the wife of her good friend,

Robert Durst, mysteriously disappeared. Durst was a prime suspect but

the case was never solved. After the Kathie Durst case was re-opened,

the DA was about to question Susan Berman about what she knew regarding a

phone call Kathie supposedly made to her medical school dean saying she

was sick and wouldn??_??t be at school. The call was placed the day after

she had vanished. Soon after the Kathie Durst case was re-opened, Susan

Berman was found dead, shot in the back of head. No forced entry, no

robbery, nothing missing from her home. The book covers what led to

Durst??_??s capture. Police records placed him in California at the time of

his good friend Susan Berman??_??s murder. HBO filmmakers discovered a

letter unknown before, written by Durst to Susan, a dead-on match to the

cadaver letter police say the killer sent before Susan??_??s body was

discovered. Photographs 284 Pgs. 2015
