New Strategies for Racetrack Betting

By the Creator of the Daily Racing Form's Beyer Speed Figures

Andrew Beyer

Andrew Bayer's brilliant handicapping strategies have had a profound impact on the horseplayer's art. His speed figures, first introduced in Picking Winners (1975), 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 a wagering strategy for pursuing spectacular profits.

Written in Beyer's entertaining, rapid-fire prose, Beyer on Speed explains how to relate speed figures to such factors as pace, track bias, and track conditions. It discusses exotic wagers such as the pick six and revelas optimal uses of the figures based on a computer analysis of more than 10,000 races.

Beyer on Speed addresses the most advanced subjects in handicapping, yet Bayer's gift for anecdote, coupled with his incisive instruction, makes his methods entirely accessible to the beginner. This invaluable book is destined to join Picking Winners as a classic of the sport.
