I'm not trying to tell people how to handicap, you understand...I just voice my opinion about books that I've read. And when I disagree with a book...I like to voice my disagreement, while stating the reasons behind it. I'm not trying to pick fights with anyone...or to pretend that I know everything.

Gus, did you download the pdf that Ted Craven supplied, it's 132 pages long and title Calib. Hcping-The Next Level?
There's the T/M play-turn move(red scan), SRE play(stretch run extension), Wide out play, Profile play, WIR play?, Pattern play, Double play? and my favorite, the Hidden Beyers, He also covers turf races in three chapters. And has some qualifying rules or something to separate contenders using final fractions. He covers his version of speed of the speed, and assigning value lines. Just think how impressed I'll be when I get to read the whole thing. And just for the record, I have at least three Gus Thaskalos downloads on my computer, so your expertise is something I pay attention to.(edit) it's INvisible Beyers.
