Joe Takach's Daily Newsletter, Video, & Books
Joe
Takach has to be real—because only Damon Runyon could
have created him, and Runyon's been gone too long. Joe is
brash, funny, outrageous...and very savvy. He moved his personal
brand of South Philly street smarts and keen observation to
California a few years ago, and took the Southern-Cal circuit
by storm. Joe knows horses and has become the premier teacher
of before-, during-, and after-race observation of equine
behavior.
Joe's "Beat The Beam" video is highly regarded,
and timely for those of us who, more and more, must observe
races through whatever vision some jaded camera man chooses
to give us.

DAILY
Southern California Horses To Watch
Joe
Takach's daily e-mail newsletter on the Southern California
circuit is loaded with with sharp observations, concise information,
and timely takes on local horses. Joe is one of the
premier observers of workouts, pre-race warm-ups, and the
races themselves, and pulls no punches in describing them.
He covers the track for his own betting interests, making
his own notes on details of performance and relevant little
things like who's on the Vet list. This is what he shares
in his daily newsletter.

Joe
Takach's Video - Excellent value!
Beat
The Beam - This video uses split screens, stop-action,
guiding arrows, and easy to follow examples to show what to
look for in race horse behavior that affects how they run--now
and next time--and how we should bet.
Andrew
Beyer says, "Takach successfully tackles a tough
handicapping problem: how can you judge horses' appearance
when you're watching on television."
James
Quinn says, "Joe Takach shows once more in Beat
The Beam that he has emerged as the nation's leading
authority on the body language of race horses."

fan, you may want to go with that publication.)

Winning
On The Southern California Circuit- One
of Joe's best. Whether you play the southern California
circuit from Huntington Beach (dude!) or from Minneapolis,
Joe is there for you with track profiles, his own assessments
of trainer and jockey strengths and weaknesses, and fine details
that you just can't know unless you work the circuit full-time,
like he does. Written with a sharp eye and wit, Joe is
one of the few guys who can make you laugh while you read solid
handicapping information. Even if you don't play the Southern
Cal circuit (if not, why not?), this book can be a manual for
what you ought to be thinking about on your own regional tracks.
$33.95 comb bound, 8.5" x 11", plus
shipping.

Trip
Tips - First
released in March 1994, this remains the only book devoted solely
to trips. In pure Takach style, Joe covers everything from basic
to advanced trip theory--including both trainer and horse behavior--track
layouts, grass and dirt surfaces, obvious and subtle equipment
changes, and more. Joe's personality arrives twenty minutes before
the book--we think you'll enjoy him as much as we do.

Postures,
Profiles, And Performance - This
book is also vintage Takach, released in 1993, it is the book
form of his approach to observation of horse behavior and condition.
Includes 30 track diagrams profiling how certain horses should
warm up--and more about warm-up than most of us knew existed.
Covers simulcast wagering and "the five-second glimpse."
Learn the 7 most positive and negative signs of the simulcast
horse.

Prime
Collection - We'll
let Joe tell this one himself: "...Prime Collection
is a compilation of my most enlightening and most controversial
writings. The 42 self-contained and educational capsules explore
essential areas of the handicapping and racing worlds...how to
profit from highly sensitive topics such as lasix, intentional
stiffing, and outright blatant drugging are fully probed in very
plain language.... Handicappers' psychological needs are also
addressed in How To Stop A Losing Streak, Make It Count...etc."
The collection includes much more, including seven fictional
short stories about the track and handicapping as only Joe could
tell it.
