By All Star Press

In this new book handicapper Art Parker analyzes the winning patterns of the most successful trainers that race their stock at Keeneland. With this guide you will know how each and every trainer that has saddled multiple winners at the fall meet prepares his or her runner for success.

How many works does this trainer's winners have coming into the race? What kind of works are they? Where do they ship in from? How quickly do they race back? Were there equipment changes? Were class drops used? How about surface or distance switches? Of course, you'll also learn who rode these winners and for what stable this trainer wins for.

In addition to business talent they must know thoroughbreds and know as much about them as possible. A trainer is not only a conditioner but is part veterinarian. And when the trainer is not
