ANDREW BEYER thoroughly revolutionized handicapping when he created his "Beyer Speed Figures," a measure of how fast a horse has run in a given race, and an indispensable tool for horseplayers. Making the necessary calculations to develop a set of figures for each horse in each race was too time-consuming for most horseplayers, so in 1992 the Daily Racing Form commissioned Beyer and his associates to provide his speed figures for every horse competing in North America. Beyer has been a columnist for the Washington Post since 1978, and contributes regularly to the Daily Racing Form. He is considered one of the leading experts on horse racing.
An American horse-racing expert offers instruction, practical tips and colourful anecdotes to show punters how they can win money at the track using his "speed figures", which appear in each issue of the "Daily Racing Form". They measure how fast a horse has run in each of its previous starts. Horses can thereby be compared, even if they have raced at different tracks and over different distances.
