I'm sure to some, they just looked at the big beyer and went gaga.

But if it takes nothing more than looking at beyers, we could boil all the pp's down to columns of beyer figs. Forget the running lines, comments, etc.
The challenge in handicapping is to justify the figure, or to put in in context. Look at how it was earned and ask yourself if those conditions are likely to repeat next time.

DrugS gave the specifics in this case.

On the other hand, you may come to the conclusion that a big beyer IS reflective of the horse and can be repeated, or in some cases even improved upon due to the horse having raced in a disadvantaged sense, either wide or against a bias.

I see all these numbers as only a starting point for further analysis, not as conclusive of anything. They're just one of your tools.

Thanks folks<
As you must have figured out by now, I am not a fan of beyer numbers, however, I am always interested on how people use different info, and come up with a selection. This thread may or could be salvaged, and become somewhat useful, with these added comments you have made. Of course, there are others who won't.

Thanks Throat, you are a very kind person. It's funny though, I can't seem to find anything useful you have said yet.

But thanks anyway, I know you care about helping out where you can.

Gee, what a disappointment to me. I just live to please you.

I liked this one more, why did you change it?
Maybe it will make more sense when you return to post drunk later. Those are always your posts that I enjoy the most.

I decided not to dwell on your drunken rant from yesterday afternoon. I was being nice. Sorry, I will try not to let that happen again.

Actually, I got something out of it today. I don't think it will shed to much more help though.
