Horseplayers : Life at the Track
by Ted McClelland
Editorial Reviews
Steve Davidowitz, author, Betting Thoroughbreds: A Professional's Guide for the Horseplayer
"Interesting stories of racetrackers by a budding handicapper seeking the Holy Grail."
Product Description:
This fun and witty expose of horse racing in America goes behind the scenes at the track, providing a serious gambler's-eye-view of the action. Ted McClelland spent a year at tracks and off-track betting facilities in Chicago and across the country, profiling the people who make a career of gambling on horses. This account follows his personal journey of what it means to be a player as he gambles with his book advance using various betting and handicapping strategies along the way. A colorful cast of characters is introduced, including the intensely disciplined Scott McMannis "The Professor", a onetime college instructor who now teaches a course in handicapping, and Mary Schoenfeldt, a former nun and gifted handicapper who donates all of her winnings to charity. This moving account of wins, losses, and personal turmoil provides a sobering look at gamblers, gambling, and life at the track.
