I'm convinced more than ever....
I've been handicapping 12+ years now and I've become convinced more than ever that Class Handicapping, with a sprinkle of pace (quick peeks at early fractions) defeats Speed Handicapping.
The only thing Class Handicapping needs is someone to come along and revolutionize the way class is looked at the same way Beyer and Ragozin did for speed figures. As of right now BRIS are the champs and I believe I would out-handicap any Sheets/TG player with BRIS PPs (with Race/Class Ratings+Pace Figs)
Not saying you can't win with Sheets/TG, you certaintly can, you won't find better final time adjustments, but I'm convinced more than ever that Class is King and the claiming market is much more efficient and reliable than voodoo track variants based on a ridiculously small sample size of races.
