what chapter in the book is beyer's study? there are chapters devoted to australia, sartin, trips/pace, and exotic wagering...but i can't recall anything about a weight and figure study.

i also don't remember him talking about sheet methodology in a very favorable light. i think that he mentioned that horses aren't susceptible to some form of "determinism" after efforts, but that subsequent poor performances were more a function of biases/pace/trips.

just out of curiousity, would you say that he has become more receptive to certain sheet concepts (i.e. form cycles/bounces), or does he still kind of view these ideas as some weird calvinistic notions?
(regardless of whether he's on amphetamines or not)

by the way isn't jimmy stewart the lawyer to whom you're referring in "anatomy of a murder"?
