Missed this one earlier today because I was busy at work, reading press releases, 10K's, you know Stronach fired another key employee. But that is another subject.

Why not hire an expert like TGJB to do this subjective evaluation for you, he charges $25 per track. Do you read your own X-Rays?

I buy the form for the articles, Beyer is a GREAT RACING CHARACTER, a World Class Hall of Famer, with a decent system.

Classhandicapper you are a pretty sharp guy from what I have read, so tell me this, didn't Beyer come out with his "Trip Notes" book about the time SHEET products started becoming more and more mainstream. If ground loss is overrated as Hopkins has stated why make note of it. Hell even Randy Moss who works with Beyer's Group is always talking about how wide horses are on TV and he is a real smart guy even though he is a little to cozy with the pidgeon toed bow-legged one for me.
