NickGunritz · If you're following close enough you'd see that there is definitely some problems with the official timing system at Gulfstream. There is definitely no way that Algorithms went 136.17 and the number that Trackus gives of 135.09 is definitely closer to the true final time. Besides that I love the Beyer Speed Figures, but not because I put a ton of faith in them, instead you can exploit the fact that the public does and you can find false favorites because of that BIG BOLD NUMBER in the Form is so front and center. As with everything else, they must be used in context. · 112 days ago ·

icyhotboo · I'm curious as to how people could possibly handicap without SF. Dead Heat, Beyer did all the newcomers a favor by putting out a reference point to begin handicapping and quickly eliminating certain horses much to the detriment of people like myself. Now that I don't bet very often it makes no difference but is used way back. There is nothing to explain everything. Einstein couldn't do it how do you expect Beyer to? Always looking for the easy answer and there is one. If you don't like them don't use them. I have to chuckle when I here the new young experts speak of energy distribution figures and their impact on handicapping. Watch the horse run a few races and you'll have your energy answers. I wonder what they did for thousands of years before electricity? Oh I remember we used to burn witches on the corner while we chatted especially the plump ones. ghelguera, by sheer volume alone the best horse have to be outside Kalifornia. · 112 days ago ·

DeadHeat · Nick, then what whould you suggest? I hand time races all the time, it does not take a rocket scientist to do so, and for you to even act like it does is completely rediculous. Watching does not give you all the answers. That is why there are charts, that is why there are splits. Algorithms was slowing down through that race, not getting faster. Hansen set him up. Did Algorithms look good, he did, but after reading the chart there is no way I'm ready to call him the fastest 3yr old in the America, which is basically what Beyer is telling us. Icy, I don't expect Beyer to do everything I expect him to use what is known and not base something off of debate. He has no clue if the 1.35 is actually right or not, but we do know that the 1.36 is what is out there and what is being used. This is not a favor, honestly, especially not today. Not when you can't count on a person and his team to put out a number using reliable stats. · 112 days ago ·

broxtone · Beyer has written in one of his books not directly about the shortcomings of the figures.He wrote about a futuristic system that could keep track of the distance each horse actually ran.This is not timed as precisely as a track and field event where the start is staggered allowing the outside runners to get a lead because they are outside.Their is also bumping and stopping in horseracing because there are no lanes.Beyer made a tidy sum when he was the only one that had the Beyer speed figures,now anyone that buys the form has them.There will not be the kind of betting overlays that the numbers revealed when he was the only one that had them. · 112 days ago ·

icyhotboo · @DeadHeat, either purposely or inadvertently you answered your own question when you stated in your reply to me that"you don't expect Beyer to do everything." You as a handicapper should be doing "all" the work. As far as watching a horse run that is still only part of the puzzle we are trying to solve by using as much past information attainable to us to predict the future which can get really tricky. While it's possible I might have somewhere I don't generally refer to speed figures as Beyer's as they were around in one form or another long before A. Beyer made his mark. For as much criticism this guy gets (A. Beyer) even from me you really have to love him. Out of tens of thousands of races run annually he can't pick a winner to save his life but he can tell you what you did wrong after the race is run and get paid well doing it. Lighten up on the guy he's a self described "bum who got lucky." Instead of being so critical of Beyer in your search for a winner read the blogs because there are some good handicappers here you could learn more. To be more blunt chat with them pre-race and share thoughts or simply see who is putting some hot horses up at the moment or consistently. Getting back to SF there arbitrary numbers that differ from person to person or in this high tech society I should say tout to tout. Here's a novel idea. Take the time yourself to build off what is already there and use your own numbers as you must have some idea just by raising this question. GL · 112 days ago ·

driveon · Do you wager on the races, Deadheat? If the answer is no, why would you care in the slightest what Beyer number is assigned to a race. The ENTIRE purpose of a Beyer figure is to be used as a handicapping tool/aid for wagering purposes. As for all the posters saying the numbers are useless because they don't take into account "stumbles, ground loss, traffic, bumps etc. - BEYER himself in the book Beyer on Speed writes that trip notes made by the handicapper are VITAL to be used in conjunction with the nember and "how the figure was earned is equally important to consider and project onto today's race. The continuous Beyer bashing is a little nauseating-maybe those who claim he is clueless should post their own systems and R.O.Is. · 112 days ago ·

driveon · You're missing the point - that's where the trip notes come into play. The BSF number only tells you how fast a horse ran, not how or why> Beyer himself would toss a horse like Bellamy Road out following a devastating wood Memorial win when he surely earned a high fig BECAUSE he was completely unchallenged throughout the race. In the ensuing Derby, it was VERY obvious that BR would not maike the lead and had no chance - therefore he is a toss DESPITE being the top BSF horse. "cappers who prefer to just bet on a "number" with no analysis whatsoever do indeed overbet these types of horses, leading to golden opportunities for those who apply the figures and project future figures correctly. I challenge anyone who has posted on this thread to produce ANY excerpt from a Beyer book that recommends BLINDLY betting on the top fig horse as if it were "betting on a number" as has been suggested. Go ahead. Produce the evidence. · 112 days ago ·

You mean to tell me if a horse raced 5-wide on both turns of a 8 1/2 F race and lost to a horse who hugged the rail throughout and I had that in my "trip notes" that info wouldn't have value? The ENTIRE point of handicapping a SINGLE race is to indeed come up with the likely end result of today's PERFORMANCE, not a generaliztion regarding who the best PERFORMER might be. A classic example in today's world would be The Factor. His PERFORMANCE seems to be directly correlated to how much rival early speed is signed on against him. I bet race ws to turn a profit.

NickGunritz · @deadheat, I understand the point of timing races, and you can time every race if you want, but what makes your hand times more accurate than equibase or trakus? Better yet, why would I trust your times? Furthermore, unless it's a turf race I don't expect a horse to be running faster at the finish, especially when he's being hand ridden because he had the race won at the top of the stretch. A 98 beyer or a 105 beyer, I don't really care, it was only his 3rd start so it was very impressive, however he still needs to improve and do it around 2 turns. · 112 days ago ·

DeadHeat · Driveon, Yes i have bet races, but rarely. I care because I love to handicap, even if not for money. I want my sources to be accurate and reliable, this is simply not. For those who ask, yes I am familiar with how Beyer makes his figures, I have said so numerous times, and it's not rocket science. Nick, the official time being posted is not the 1.35. That is used by Beyer and his team. Other major sites have the official clocking down as 1.36 flat. I also never said you had to trust my times, however, what I did was fairly close to most of the original clockings, which obviously means I'm not that far off. Seperate hand times will almost always show a little difference as was the case here. Icy, I don't have a question. As a handicapper I don't expect Beyers to be the be all end all, however if your going to call yourself a pro at something then make sure you are as accurate as possible and are putting out info that corresponds with what the other stats are, the official stats. Beyer did not do that. · 112 days ago ·

Point/Counterpoint: Mucho Macho Man vs. Awesome Feather

DeadHeat · Brian, when the times are over the same track and same day, it matters, especially when there is over a second difference. Had one horse raced in Cali and the other in FL then I would discount them, but that is not the case. Also, RTG was not getting to Macho, that race was won at the top of the stretch. Also, just because AF is unbeaten doesn't mean she can't be beaten at all. Who has she faced? Outside of the BC, her races at Calder and two last year were not exactly brimming with talent. Many think she'll be beaten this year by one of the other few main fillies and mares returning this year. You cannot simply overlook time and competition. If that was the case then why keep track and why even run them? Mucho ran the better race that day. AF is a very good filly and ran a good race, but you can't simply throw away reason and stats. Based on the month of Jan, stats show MMM is the better horse. · 115 days ago ·

Ann Maree · I think I made some of my points in your threads on Facebook....I love both of these horses, and MMM has had my heart since the Risen Star last year. That being said, I think the effort by Awesome Feather was bigger than MMM's, though not by a huge amount. Awesome Feather had to give 6 pounds to all her competitors, except for one filly that she gave 4 pounds to. To me that made the difference in the effort between these two. Each has more than demonstrated that we will have a high old time this year watching them challenge others in their divisions in 2012. Hoping that both of them stay healthy, of course. Love MMM since he has filled out his huge frame...he was just a kid last year running against older horses, and we are fortunate, or rather he was, to have gotten through the tough season withough serious injury given his being the youngster of the sophomores. MMM I believe actually got a couple pounds from Turbo, which he probably didn't need. If this is for the purpose of deciding your star of the week, this might need to be the week you have co-stars! They both were very impressive. · 115 days ago ·

AndyScoggin · I was a skeptic of MMM's interest in winning races, but he changed my mind in the Sunshine. Awesome Feather is unbeaten and has been dominant in every win and that goes a long way with me. · 115 days ago ·

DeadHeat · Icy, 23 times? I guess we were watching a different race cause I count significantly less than that. Both horses were being ridden, both horses were not going to get caught. Footlick, BA was amazing. Pedigree doesn't suggest any distance issues and she sure didn't look like she wanted to stop any time soon. Very nice looking filly. · 115 days ago ·

Floridaf · Personally, I think MMM needed to get a little more out of his SM race than AF did. Feather is a proven champion, but MMM had a lot of maturing to do since last year. With that being said, neither of their trainers have mapped out a plan for them, so who know what the ultimate goal was for their races this past weekend. I would argue, though, that MMM faced a much tougher field than AF did, which would account for the difference in winning times and margins. · 115 days ago ·

Floridaf · Very good point digidot. MMM was also coming into the SM off only a 1 mile AlwOC race that was almost three months prior to his SM Classic win. AF had two preps, one being a Grade 1, and only two months between races. · 115 days ago ·

icyhotboo · I never questioned MMM ability as a horse to get 1 1/8 mile but I did question his losing a shoe in two consecutive graded races to me that was one to many and I was either going to bet another or pass as I don't bet "trouble" horses. Since they chose to show a scintillating interview with the trainer of MMM instead of letting us bettors see the horses I had no choice but to pass as I was watching on line not trackside and just managed to get a glimpse of the #1 DOM for about 5 seconds and couldn't really tell but he looked like he was lathered. These on line sites have give aways for new members but those that have been there for years they think they have them locked in well not me even if I have to pay OTB the extra 6% it's better than betting blind. · 115 days ago ·

Floridaf · If it's possible for a horse to be both overrated and underrated, then Awesome Feather is that horse. She should do fine tomorrow, though. · 118 days ago ·
