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 !Best Regards to All, MC - TheStickRules.Com
