Your post got me to thinking, so I went through all of my boxed up books (I'm in the process of moving) to see if I could find my copy of this book and what edition it was.

I'm happy to say I found it, and it is the first edition, because the chapters you refer to are in my copy.

I haven't read this book in seven or eight years, but now that I have it out I will reread it as soon as I get a chance.

There are at least 50 example races in the text.

Here's a small quote from the book by Doc Sartin about the Hat.

"Once an inveterate loser who studied all these mainstream factors, Bradshaw became a consistent winner after I convinced him that "The horse runs the race." Thereafter, the horse became his only concern. A former track coach, now in the Oklahoma Coaches Hall of Fame, Bradshaw became the master of the Match-Up. His thesis is: "It's not what the horse can run, it's how it can run against today's Match-Up."

This is a gem of a book, and I highly recommend it.
