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 !

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.

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).

With Andrew Beyers new approach to handicapping, I have grasped the full potential of my own creative handicapping skill. A full out knowledge investment. This book is gauranteed to lead an intelligent player to success.

The main theme of this book is trip handicapping and a horseplayer who mainly focuses on figures must read. This book will change your mind and ways of thinking. I am actually quite surprise that this book was written over 10 years ago.

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.
