People are paying a premium for a substandard set of figures because of Crist and Beyer.
Cronyism. Two writers, one for the NY Times, one for the WP.
The Eclipse award for a substandard product. The fix was in, so to speak. DRF originates the award and it's people vote for winners.
Beyer "stole" the figures from someone and didn't give the figures the originator's name. Only a small mention in the first book.
Which wouldn't even exist if not for Kovitz. Beyer came up with NOTHING on his own.
Kind of like what other famous "inventor's" have done.
[They should, at the very least, be Kovitz/Beyer Speed Figures.]
Beyer is a talented writer and supposedly a successful horseplayer.
You'd never know from the selections he makes every year for the Derby.

Which were the "better figures" that Crist could have elected to include in the Racing Times?
