	By the way, I got your book in the mail today and one quick scanning was enough to earn my enthusiastic endorsement. Both newcomers and seasoned players would benefit from reading your comprehensive text. As handicappers, you and I espouse similar philosophies. We both stress fundamentals and place supreme importance on a horse's suitability to today's spot. Great work. from: Mark Patterson Television Handicapper/Analyst, Mountaineer Park in West Virginia-December 2007
	The reason this book is so strong is because it outlines the only way horses can be handicapped on a consistently profitable basis.  It correctly asserts that there is no such thing as a stand alone/bet the big number/ way to make consistent profits.  Instead it espouses a holistic approach to handicapping.  The base idea of the book is that there are a lot of dots. It attempts to get the reader’s mind to see what and where the dots are, and then to figure out how to connect them.  This approach will take chunks out of the learning curve.  I know it would have saved me a world of grief if I’d read it years ago. Mason Farah, Las Vegas, Nevada-March, 2006

Boomer & Craig cover it all: Pace, Class, Par-times, Trends, Wagering strategy, Money-management, and something you won't find in a lot of so-called 'handicapping books'. Common sense!" Kevin Snow, Louisville, Kentucky
	Dear Boomer, The best investment I made next to the entry fee to the Midwest Handicapping Championship was the purchase the morning of the tourney of your book How To Turn Any Racetrack Into Your Own Money Machine. You see I was very confident and in third place going into the second day when all of a sudden it was announced that it was going to be a wet and windy day at Hawthorne. All of my typical keys for betting were virtually worthless with races being taken off the turf and many changes being made. That's when I remembered your book and read the portions of chapters devoted to sloppy and muddy conditions. I am a casual handicapper who only bets fast tracks, so your observations were a godsend. I managed to win the first two races and hit a 12-1 shot two races later to assure a top ten finish. My only regret is that the format of the Hawthorne tourney calls for the ability to vary one's wagers and I was way to cautious in wagering the recommended method in your book. I now am a believer in the Boomer Wry way of handicapping, and I know your knowledge and experience as expressed in your book will be useful to me for many years to come. Thanks again, You are directly responsible for the purse money I collected. Sincerely, Rich Orzechowski, Barrington, Il.
	your book is excellent. After being a 'capper for 47 years I didn't realize how much I didn't know. I will try diligently to put into practice as many of your moneymaking strategies as I possibly can. Continued success & be well. Scott
	Online Review of Horse Race Betting Guide and Book Betting on horse races is not only a highly fun and interactive form of betting (in so far as being a spectator goes), it can also prove to be a very profitable venture on a consistent basis if done with an insightful and strategic approach. There is a book currently in press that has received several positive reviews, and is all about horserace betting. Deemed to be a book for anyone who participates in or is curious about betting on horses, this book covers everything from how to handicap a race to concepts that help produce more consistent winning bets. The title of this glorious guide is How to Turn Any Racetrack Into Your Own Money Machine, and is authored by Greg Boomer Wry. Some of the concepts covered are how to read performance stats published in daily racing forms, how to handicap horses, how to make money betting on horses, weighing track odds, determining race pace, how to rule out horses from a race, and why to consider racing qualities other than speed. The book comes with a companion DVD, which reinforces the principles introduced in each chapter. Buyers also receive free online access to pdf files that accompany many of the lessons in the book. The reviews on this valuable guide to horserace betting have admitted to being introduced and/or reminded of valuable concepts that far too often get overlooked in horserace betting. According to the book itself, betting on horses is not only about picking the best racers favored to win. In actuality, the favorites only win one-third of their races. There is an entire two-thirds of horse races that is fair game to the knowledgeable and smart horse bettor. By following the lessons presented in this book, the author guarantees the bettor will be confident in making decisions, and will have a much better chance of being part of the two percentile who actually make money over the long run just from horserace betting. A pari-mutuel wager is a great opportunity for bettors to put sharp analytic skills to use, and capture a steady return of betting profit on multiple races at the horse track.
	Boomer, we met two months ago at Hawthorne and had a nice 15 minute chat where you asked me to let you know what I thought of your new book. Well, I thoroughly enjoyed "BETS", one of the better wagering strategy guides out there. I thought the strategies were much more useable than in Crist’s book. I only wish our pic3 and 4 pools were a little deeper at Haw. I hope you do another book, for you probably have enough racetrack stories to fill volumes and I'd love to hear them.   Good Handicapping, Patrick Gibson
