Beyer on Speed shows the way, explaining how to relate the numbers to such factors as pace, track bias, and track conditions.

Blending colorful anecdotes with incisive instruction, this is a landmark book by a master handicapper.

Just as football evolved with the introduction of the forward pass and basketball with the development of the jump shot, so too was handicapping forever changed by the use of speed figures--and it all started with Andrew Beyer''s Picking Winners. This edition features a new foreword in which the author discusses the changes that have swept the sport since the book''s original publication. Picking Winners remains a classic in the field of thoroughbred racing.

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.
