Best info available to a beginner

[ThePokerPad]

Hi guys Just looking to see if anyone can recommend books, websites etc for a beginner wanting to learn more about Horse Racing. Just wanting to get better idea of Racing in general such as race types, claimed, conditional races etc, jockys and allowances and the whole set up in general. Many thanks

Re: Best info available to a beginner Definitely worth getting a book for reference purposes. I used to use http://www.amazon.co.uk/Back-Winning-Horse-Teach-Yourself/dp/1444102915/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1382407701&sr=1-1&keywords=back+a+winning+horse but you can find pretty much all of the info you want online.
