The Winning Horseplayer, The by Andrew Beyer
In The Winning Horseplayer, Andrew Beyer builds on the strategy of speed handicapping that he detailed brilliantly in Picking Winners by introducing the concept of trip handicapping. Through an unbeatable combination of case studies and lively anecdotes, Beyer shows the smart bettor how to combine past performance data with an understanding of trips, track bias, and pace. This advanced guide to handicapping, which includes a new preface by the author, offers a generous dose of the wit and wisdom that have made Beyer a legend in the sport.ANDREW BEYER revolutionized handicapping when he developed his Beyer Speed Figures, a measurement of a horse's speed in a given race that has become a must-have tool for horseplayers. Because most horseplayers couldn't spare the time to perform the computations required to generate a set of data for each horse in each race, the Daily Racing Form commissioned Beyer and his team to supply speed figures for every horse running in North America in 1992. Since 1978, Beyer has been a columnist for the Washington Post, and he also contributes to the Daily Racing Form on a regular basis. He is regarded as one of the foremost authorities in horse racing.
