It's been nearly 20 years since Richard Eng was contacted by a representative of Wiley & Sons publishing to write a book designed to educate newcomers to horse racing on how to handicap and bet on what can be a very complicated and intimidating game.
The book, “Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies,” was part of the company's “dummies” brand of “taking on complex concepts and making them easy to understand.” They've published hundreds of titles for “dummies.”
“Betting on Horse Racing for Dummies” has been successful to the point that Eng was asked by the publisher one year ago to update the book in areas that have changed over the last two decades. The revision was a virtual rewrite of the entire book.
A longtime racing publicist, handicapper, newspaper columnist and radio host, Eng joins Ray Paulick and bloodstock editor Joe Nevills in this week's Friday Show to discuss the “Dummies” book, how to introduce new people to racing, and his thoughts on how the game is ever evolving.
