Just like technology advances all fields of endeavor, speed figures are no different and old dogmas only hold one back. Let them keep thinking certain things don't matter so we can continue to find a edge in very tough game. Beyer figs won't touch ground loss even though it's there for every one to see and 1 week suspensions given for forcing too much of it! I guess it does matter. Just as Beyer had an edge before he sold his figs, just as I had a slight edge using his figs in The Racing Times while it lasted before it's owner untimely demise and the fact that most horseplayers wouldn't fork out extra bucks for a second form. Edges even slight and often larger can be found starting right here with your products and insights shared on this board. Keep up the great work and open dialogue.

Ironically Keeneland is the only track to my knowledge built with the grandstand facing the afternoon sun. Better bring shades and pay attention to how the track is watered. The odd layout was due to the creators vision: for the pleasure of a morning brunch crowd of well to doers who had gathered at the lodge (now clubhouse) of the builder for a weekend of festivities as I have read. This was in the years prior to opening it's door officially as a pair-mutuel facility.
