thank you to Andrew Beyer
_________
the man is close to 80 now
surely there are certain things I didn't appreciate from him - some of his picks were really bad - and he had a certain arrogance about what he thought was correct
but his accomplishment in getting cappers to appreciate the value of speed figures is undeniable - and true, maybe they were quite often overvalued
but for me his greatest value was in his writing - both his books and his columns for the Washington Post
IMHO he had great insight into the world of racing and its famous and infamous characters
and his writing was so very crisp, insightful and entertaining to read
he has made an enormous contribution of the sport we love
.
