I tend to agree. When speed figures come out and appear to be a mismatch compared with what most observers saw, that is the exact edge I am looking for when I pay my money for the figures. The more outlandish it seems the happier I get because that is the way you can really get some nice prices.
I know that sometimes I get frustrated if the number does not pan out, but dem is da brakes. On balance, these sort of numbers produce a great deal more profit than they do loss.
Also, I have been watching horseraces carefully since 1976. I believe I have better than average visual skills for a horseplayer. Nevertheless, whenever I trust my visual skills, I am far more let down by them than I ever am by speed figures.
I realize that this sounds like the confessions of a Kool Ade drinker, but
