ABOUT TR PUBLISHING

     Barry Meadow, who heads TR Publishing, has spent more than 40 years in the 

gambling world.



     He wrote his first book, Success At The Harness Races, in 1967.  Later he 

worked as a handicapper and racing-magazine editor, contributing articles to 

various publications, including an article on mule racing that appeared in Sports 

Illustrated.

     For five years in the 1980s, he gambled full-time on the harness races at 

Los Alamitos in California.  It was during this time that he formed TR Publishing 

and started Trot Report, a small weekly sheet covering the local harness scene.

     In 1987, TR Publishing produced Meadow's Professional Harness Betting, a 300-

page manual which explains how to become a full-time professional player.

     In 1988 the company published his Money Secrets At The Racetrack, which has 

been lauded by virtually every expert as the definitive guide to money management 

at the track.  In the same year he began Master Win Ratings, a service that rates 

every California horse and is still going strong more than a decade later.

     Meadow also has written Secrets Of The Pick 6, a booklet which delves into 

the successful strategies needed to hit this difficult bet, and Players Guide To

Nevada Racebooks 1999-2000 Edition, for which he visited every racebook in the 

state to find the best values for players.

     In 1999, TR Publishing came out with Meadow's 

Blackjack Autumn: A True Tale of Life, Death, and Splitting Tens in Winnemucca, 

the humorous and exciting story of his two-month adventurous tale of   

quest to play blackjack in every casino in Nevada. 

     For seven years, from November 1996 through October 2003, TR published

Meadow's Racing Monthly, an award-winning handicapping and money-management 

newsletter.  It featured articles on how to make the most money at the track, 

investigative exposes about the handicapping world, original statistical 

research, and systems tests from a large computer database.

     In 2003, Meadow wrote Crushing The Internet Casinos, a guide to how to 

make thousands of dollars via the Internet.  It was published by Huntington 

Press of Las Vegas. 

     Our main product currently is Master Win Ratings, a daily phone and e-mail

service for California horses which gives an updated power rating to every

thoroughbred in the state, with each horse's rating based on a number of

handicapping factors.

     Meadow has presented at every Handicapping Expo since 1990, was a member 
of the NTRA Players Panel, and is an adviser to the Horseplayers Association of North America
(HANA).  He has appeared on several radio and television programs and was featured in the
2005 documentary, Player: The Blue-Collar Gambler.  His eclectic resume also includes serving
in Vietnam, writing television sitcoms, playing the professional tennis circuit in India,
and doing standup comedy in California.
