Beginners guide to racing

[thephysician]

I've been reading a bit recently about various sports betting (my real interest is Football and American Football), but have a friend or two who likes the horses and we occasionally have a flutter on the horses. Seeing as I'm doing it a bit, I'd like to read up on the sport (rather than the betting) to understand at least some of the lingo (the races, the handicaps, understanding the form guides etc), but can't find a idiots guide to racing anywhere. Any pointers?
