| Beyer on SpeedCritics and handicappers adore him. The Boston Globe once called him "the manic evangelist, grand guru, and scholarly professor of handicapping." His books espouse strategies and betting philosophies that have shaped the sport. But the true measure of Andrew Beyer's impact on handicapping is that his very name has become part of the horseplayer's terminology. Beyer's speed figures, first introduced almost twenty years ago in Picking Winners, revolutionized racetrack betting. But not until 1992, when the Daily Racing Form included Beyer Speed Figures in past performances, did they become widely available. Now, in Beyer on Speed, the author shows how to make speed figures the focal point of an effective betting strategy. Written in Beyer's clean, rapid-fire prose, Beyer on Speed explains how to relate speed figures to such factors as pace, track bias, and track conditions. Pit Boss' rating: | ||

| Dave Litfin's Expert HandicappingLitfin's approach to analyzing thoroughbred races is eclectic rather than systematic, which is another way of saying he refuses to simplify the game's fascinating complexity. Instead, he focuses on certain recurring situations in which an observant handicapper can gain a clear betting edge, either by backing underbet horses on the verge of improvement or by going against false favorites. Some of his insights pertain specifically to New York racing, which Litfin covers as the highly respected racing analyst for the Daily Racing Form, but most are equally valid for racing throughout North America. Litfin knows his stuff, and his book is among the most useful to appear in this crowded field. Dennis Dodge Pit Boss' rating: | ||
