About Horseracing From The Inside
Product Description Vin Rogers loved thoroughbred horseracing and became a rider and owner himself after retirement. Now he offers an unparalleled glimpse into racetrack culture and the challenges that come with owning, racing, and handicapping thoroughbreds. Horseracing from the Inside Out provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what’s involved in acquiring and training racehorses and offers numerous tips and techniques related to handicapping and betting. In his guide, Rogers explains how to do the following: identify the nature and idiosyncrasies of the thoroughbred racehorse, buy a racehorse of your own, consider the pros and cons of joining a racing partnership, fine-tune the reader’s handicapping and wagering tools. Rogers’s insider perspective will open a new world to you. His racetrack experiences have led to some amazing wins and heartbreaking losses as he shares anecdotes about his second career. Whether you are considering buying a racehorse yourself or simply hoping to make educated wagers at the track, Horseracing from the Inside Out will help you make winning choices. About the Author Vin Rogers still remembers the first time his father took him to the Saratoga Race Course as a child. He fell in love with the sport and the horses but never had time to work professionally in the field. Finally, at age sixty-two, Rogers was able to devote himself to his passion for horses. He retired early from a long career in higher education and research to begin riding. He started with lessons at the equine center at the University of Connecticut. Rogers first competed in local hunter-jumper events before eventually becoming a thoroughbred owner himself. He combined his skills at handicapping with the lessons he learned as an owner to write about the sport and its challenges. His work has been published in HorsePlayer Magazine, Gallop, and other racing publications. Rogers has also written two children’s books about horses: Sunshine Mary and Midnight.
