I tried to run a search so forgive me if this has been asked many times, but what are some of the best resources for an intelligent newb to go from zero to hero? I'm really intrigued with the idea of playing the horses seriously and I have no idea where to begin. I've looked at all the tomes on amazon and Davidowitz seems to be universally praised but I have no idea. Any suggestions?

#2Most likely you are going to lose playing the horses. Unless you have big money on a horse like Mine That Bird(He was 50/1 in 2009 Derby) you are probably not going to realize a profit. So play for entertainment purposes only. Learn how to read past performances form DRF/Equibase and start there. The Thorograph sheets are also a great resource, but very expensive to use. However, if you sign up the site provides free resources like the race of the week analysis. GL.Comment -

#6in other words do not wager a pk6 carryover just because there is a carryover, or bet a daily double just because the track offers one or any other wager just because they have one available to wager on.Comment -

Kind of disagree here, think anyone who plays horses should take a stab at the Del Mar Pick 5 carryover Wednesday even if its only for $10.Probably the most bang for your buck you will get all year with the carryover + new money added .I think I've made 3 or 4 bets there all meet but I'll definitely be making a few tickets.Comment -

there are exceptions to the rule and this is one of them as its only a .50 base wager.Comment -
