Beyer is a legend. He changed how horse racing was viewed, analyzed, and handicapped. I can't think of anyone who wasn't an owner, trainer, jockey or horse (ha) who had a bigger influence on the game he covered. And of course, he was a fierce advocate for the horseplayer.
That's his legacy. Racing needs someone like him now to somehow ignite and intrigue a new generation of horseplayers the way his books and articles did for many of us years ago.
