After indicating that he did not believe in it himself, Beyer says that those "hell-bent" on making weight adjustments might reasonably subtract .4 from a horse's previous Beyer fig for each additional lb & add .4 per lb if he is carrying less weight.

Far more interesting is the extensive discussion of JB, his handicapping approach & a TG instructional video which I did not know existed. Although this is the book which is usually cited as containing Beyer's "mea culpa" to sheets players, it is easy to see how someone might come away with an entirely different conclusion.
