Here it is - fresh from the OTB Learning Labs WINNING ANGLES FROM A TO Z By Nassau (NY) OTB Ace Handicapper and Author of Daily Racing Form's® Handicapping Contest Handbook... NOEL MICHAELS
WHAT'S THE QUICKEST WAY TO PICK A WINNER? It's not laboring over the pp's. Or pondering the pace shape of a race. Or trying to balance out distance, speed and post position at the same time.
IT'S THE ANGLE!
The angle tells you what information to look for. What's important, what isn't. What doesn't show in the stats. What's hidden in the pp's. What's likely to be overlooked by the crowd. It's the short cut that cuts through the clutter of obvious information and zeroes in on the UN-obvious. It throws a spotlight on the one factor that outweighs all other factors. First time lasix. The second race after a layoff. Drawing an inside post in a two-turn race. A sloppy track, a blinker change. A horse coming off a losing speed duel.
Whether it's based on fractional positions, early pace, pedigree, running style, class drops, cutbacks, medications - you want the angle that gives you edge, you want it explained so you can't make a mistake - and you want it by your side race after race. Well, I've got what you want.

Z-pattern
"Winning Angles A to Z" means what it says. It gives you coverage from beginning to end. You get all the angles most in use by the sharpest bettors - the techniques that make - and save - you the most money. Just check out the list!
I explain each angle in detail. I tell you why it works and I back it up with example races. Then I show you how to use that angle to find the right horse. And because racing's fundamental lessons are eternal, you can use my 26 angles to make track profits for the rest of your life!
With the A to Z Method you will uncover hidden value at every track you play. You'll know...
When a horse that failed in its first try is really ready
When high-speed figures and sharp recent form mean nothing
When a claimer has been entered in a race it can win
When a no-name trainer has a better horse than the big names . . . better still . . .
LET ME SHOW YOU A SINGLE DAY OF ANGLES AT JUST ONE TRACK
I recorded a 7-win day (as documented on Nassau OTB's website at nassauotb.com) thanks to the use of several of the winning angles from my book. These horses were all picked ON TOP, and not as part of any two- or three-horse box.

WANT TO SEE HOW "A TO Z" WORKS FOR EXOTICS? HOW ABOUT A $11,131 PICK 4?! Using betting angles from "A TO Z," on Saturday, Sept. 30, I was able to record a third-place finish in the $10,000 Mohegan Sun Race Book Challenge, and also hit a Pick 4 at Belmont Park that paid $11,131!

If that's too rich for your blood, a $1 trifecta box of the four winning angles horses in the race would have cost $24 and returned $2,972.80. And by the way, a fourth winning angle horse in the race, Gayle's Gala (medication change) ran fourth to complete a winning $12,085.90 $1-dollar superfecta payoff.
Plus... "A to Z" shows you how to find horses that qualify for more than one angle so you can upgrade your chances of cashing a winner. This system assigns point values depending on which angles apply. All you do is add and subtract - and the horse with the highest number wins. The system shows you exactly how.
In 136 pages of text including another dozen pages of charts, "A to Z" gives you all the explanation you need to make the most of each angle - along with sidebars, exceptions, comments, cautions and the like - designed to insure that you know exactly what you're doing every step of the way!
What's the cost? Just $20.00 (includes $4.95 S&H). If I give you just one winner, you've already got your money back. And imagine: you can have this Treasury of Angles the rest of your life! And you can start winning immediately!
