Every single speed and pace handicapping book offers an adjustment for distance.

thanks for your input.
yeah, I wholly believe that anything I could take away from reading those books wouldn't be worth the time in trying to read them. The one I did read(Speed To Spare) though, was OK I suppose.(I found it.) Joe Cardello seems like a sharp guy.
In fact, what has kept me from pursuing any books in the past, was the fear of hurting my handicapping process. My approach to speed and pace has nothing to do with math. Books on pedigree and betting angles I would check out.
