Breeder's Cup Two-Volume Set Great Resource
By Howard Schwartz

A two-volume reference for serious horseplayers who annually revel in Breeder’s Cup Day has arrived at Gambler’s Book Shop, and Jim Mazur with Peter Mallett have done a masterful job again, as they offer Crushing the Cup 2002 (The Handicapper’s Guide to Breeder’s Cup XIX), 122 pages, paperbound) and Crunching the Stats (66 pages, paperbound). Sold as a set for $29.95, it’s designed to tell you about the quirks and special features at Arlington Park, where The Cup’s races will be contested and offer statistics and past performance patterns of previous Cup days.

In Vol. 1 of the two books, Mazur and Mallett detail patterns worth watching at Arlington “...all the winners were within four lengths as they turned for home with 90% either on the lead or within two lengths” (in routes at 1 1/8 miles) ( Distaff, Juvenile and Fillies)...” and why Europeans horses love the turf at Arlington. What are the profiles of past winners of fillies and mares, including number of races prior to the big race; how much of a factor was a previous win at a particular distance and what about workouts?

In Vol. 2, you’ll find Pedigree Angles; Trainer Records; Post Position Angles; Beyer Qualifiers; information on Jockeys; how favorites fared in past Breeder’s Cups.

Give yourself time to read, absorb and isolate all the authors offer and you’ll be better prepared for Oct. 26th Breeder’s Cup.
