Just curious if any of you have found some exceptional books on how to train racehorses?

Two best books for anyone starting on their own without any experience are in my opinion: "Training Thoroughbred Horses" by Preston M. Burch; "Backyard Race Horse (The Training Manual)" by Janet Del Castillo with Lois Schwartz.

Hope you can find them...its been awhile since I bought training books, these were very good for me to learn racing and care of a racehorse.

Good Luck'
