Howdy horse racing fans!
I'm a blogger that thinks it's crucial for our sport to attract new fans, and one of the biggest efforts I recently undertook to this effect was trying to summarize some beginner's concepts and mid-level handicapping (no formulas , systems, or sheets) for the large number of total newcomers that visit my blog. I'm a social butterfly and have a bunch of friends, most of whom have never seen a horse race yet alone know how to handicap or bet. I got a ton of comments about adding this type of feature an recently gave it a whirl. I'd love to know what you guys think.
Thanks,

It's a series of pages on the blog that try to take people from scratch to entry level knowledge. I've got links back to the DRF tutorials the about dot com community, and one of my friends who is a journalist/handicapper. Most of the stuff is my own writing and it took several days to compile the information/critique what should be/shouldn't be there.
