I have read some of Dr. Robert Anthony's books, and you are right...his "power of the mind" approach is helpful to horseplayers, as well as to other people who expose themselves to a great deal of "stress" at their jobs.
In fact, in one of his books - I think it was titled "Betting On Yourself" - he writes about a meeting he had with a grateful reader, who attributed his great success largely to Dr. Anthony's books.
They met at this man's lavish home...at which point, Dr. Anthony found out that the man was a very successful professional horseplayer.
Dr. Anthony was so intrigued with the idea of profitable horse race speculation, that he became a student of this man...after promising not to divulge this man's methods of play until after his death.
