A MUST HAVE FOR THE SERIOUS HORSEPLAYER 5 STARS NO QUESTION
I THINK THE TRIP & PACE FACTORS ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT THEN EVEN THE BEYER SPEED FIGURES. BEYER IS ONE OF THE MOST KNOWLEDGABLE HORSE HANDICAPPERS ON THE PLANET. KEEP ON WRITING ANDY!
Bad Book
This book was a waste of money. I did not learn one thing. All this book would do for anyone is confuse them. The speed figures in this book are nonsense. This book was a waste of my time and money.
Another winner
Beyer expanded on his legendary speed figures by implementing trip and pace factors into his handicapping. He gives you real world examples of how giving attention to those elements can improve your win %. As usual, Beyer's writing incorporates a certain flair that other writers on the subject just don't seem to have. That's what seperates him from the expert handicappers who write books. Andy Beyer is both and everyone who wants to better understand the sport needs to read all of his works.
Another top book, by Andy Beyer
Andy Beyer is speaking of very sophisticated and advanced technique's in track bias at the many different tracks a person may play or go to.In this age of simulcast wagering at multiple facilities, this book is even more important.
You have to keep a detailed log book as far as we are conerned to know what the bias is at different tracks.
Andy correctly points out many important factors that the majority of the horse racing public would not consider, and thus if you considered them would give you an advantage.
Beyer is the King !

some good info, some biased material
This book is worth reading for the appendix and details on trip handicapping, but the material on track biases smacks of type 1 errors (finding differences that aren't really there).
