To do so, Serling scrutinizes films of horses’ past races. He studies the performance of trainers in specific circumstances by using the Daily Racing Form’s Formulator software. He researches pedigrees — particularly those of horses running on the grass for the first time. He overlays the basics of handicapping with a healthy skepticism and a reluctance to jump to obvious conclusions.

Race watching/Trips, Formulator stats, grass aptitude and countermeasure wagering: Beyer beautifully distills Andy's approach and work ethic down to one paragraph. It's a blueprint for success in the game which Andy doles out freely. And despite sharing that knowledge with anyone who asks, he occasionally finds himself a target of internet derision, just as Beyer himself and Steve Crist face those same bizarre misconceptions or jealousy-based attacks. Andy has dilligently worked his way to that rarified air as the singular best opinion provider on the most important circuit/signal in the game. What a nice piece by Beyer and honor for Andy...
