The Tuttle Definitive is without a doubt Joseph J. Tuttle's best book yet. His horsemanship knowledge along with extreme betting savvy is conveyed page after page. It's my belief that this book can help the beginner/novice, but it seemed very obvious to me that the content was directed towards helping the avid/advanced horseplayer. The price of $29.95 truly isn't that outrageous, considering the amount of helpful content, and the total wordage (which is over 34,000). That makes this book seem like a steal, in my humble opinion
