ANOTHER GREAT BOOK BY MARK CRAMER
 
 HANDICAPPING ON THE ROAD
ORDER TODAY

Mark Cramer has earned praise for both his horse racing and travel books. With Handicapping on the Road, he combines both realms. Last summer, Cramer, then 65 years old, set out on a 1,000-kilometer bicycle - race track journey through several regions of France, along with his companion, Alan, 59, a specialist in Asian art. The immediate goal was to raise money for the retirement of race horses, but Cramer was also using his handicapping methods, attempting to pay for the trip with his betting. Along the way, Mark and Alan would test their own stamina, sometimes in blistering heat. To make a point, they chose the same 21 days as theTour de France (two old-timers “competing” with Tour professionals). Cramer also vowed to cover the more than 600 miles with zero carbon emissions (unless you count the carbon dioxide the cyclers breathed out heavily on strenuous hills). The Loire wines along the way served as performance dis-enhancing substances, adding to the challenge. 

Handicapping on the Road includes enough intriguing horse betting methods to satisfy Cramer’s loyal fans, but the travel adventure, stamina test and ecological challenge make the story all the more fascinating.

Tom Amello, presides over the Trackfacts TV Program, Capital Cities, New York and publishes the Trackfacts Saratoga handicapping publication has this to say about HANDICAPPING ON THE ROAD:   

Thankfully, Mark presents a timely (think Breeders’ Cup, Japan Cup, Dubai World Cup) and important discussion of a real dilemma for horseplayers: how to handicap international races. Delivering an engaging narrative in the context of an idyllic cycling mini-tour de France to raise funds for Thoroughbred retirement, Mark presents his argument with great clarity, and, as usual, includes comprehensive examples to support the argument. I’m always a more informed player for having read Mark Cramer’s work.      

Mark Cramer got it exactly right when he applied the principles of The Handicapper's Condition Book to some fascinating races in France.  I just love that the Condition Book works as well as Mark indicates in his Handicapping on the Road.  I hope to try the applications myself one of these days.

James Quinn, author of several classic books on handicapping and one of the great spokesmen for and practitioners of this challenging game.

The author’s background

Mark Cramer’s against-the-grain travel writing has won praise from unexpected sources. His FunkyTowns USA (1995) has the rare distinction of having received glowing reviews in both a scholarly journal and a supermarket tabloid, while having been featured onCNN.Ray Oldenburg, author of the now classic The Great Good Place, wrote: “Superb entertainment for the armchair traveler, FunkyTowns USA is also a lesson in preserving human habitat in a society that needs, urgently, to do just that.”

His books in the “Culture Shock” series went beyond the aims of that collection, ending up as assigned texts in university classes. HisCulture Shock! Bolivia promptedBolivia’s ambassador to the United Nations to commission Cramer to write his UN mission's website introduction to Bolivia. Ambassador Solón, a Bolivian historian, wrote: “Culture Shock! Bolivia is not only useful for foreign travelers but for Bolivians who have grown up knowing only fragments of the land where they were born.”

Praise for Cramer’shorse race handicapping books is no less enthusiastic: “Cramer is one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking writers there is” (from the Hub Pages website) …

And in a TVG Community website article, “The Five Handicapping Books I Reread”, Cramer books are the top two. The reviewer notes, “OK, I promise the next three books will not be by Mark Cramer.”

Cramer has been profiled byAndrew Beyer in the Washington Post and has received praise from James Quinn and Tom Ainslie, two of the legends in this field.

Mark Cramer’s book of fiction Scared Money (1994) received a Library Journalreview.  It was subsequently re-published as a paperback. Of Scared Money, a reviewer who calls himself Factotum wrote: “…if Camus and Sartre had been concerned about who was going to win the fifth race atSanta Anita, they might have written something like this.”

Mark Cramer lived in Bolivia from 1994 to 1999 while doinginvestigative reporting for local newspapers, and going hiking as high as 17,000 feet above sea level. Since then he has lived in France with his wife and son. He teaches at the prestigious Sciences-Po university inParis and is often interviewed on radio and TV about the issues of the day. He does all his commuting by bicycle.
