Betting On Horses - Beyers Market

The numbers game. That is what horse bettors have to deal with every single day and although there is no one digit that makes the magic come to life, the Beyer Speed Figure is as good a place to start as anywhere.

On the Triple Crown trail, Beyers can identify runners that have come out of the best races, may have peaked, or maybe those that are on the verge of putting it over the top.

Through mid March, let’s take a look at some of the figures the players have put up and try to make sense of it all.

The first 5 stepping-stones early in the year, the Trop Derby, Count Fleet, Hutcheson, LeComte and San Rafael were all solid races and as time went on, the performances improved.

All of those races were won with Beyers between 93 and 99 with El Gato Malo just under the triple digit barrier.

The second half of January is where horse bettors saw some separation. Seven stakes were carded on the Trail, and the numbers really differed. Brax took a minor stakes at Sunland with only a 68 Beyer and can be totally dismissed.

Yankee Bravo wasn’t much better in the Cal Derby with a 75 Beyer but both Gayego and Bob Black Jack emerged as legit players posting 102 and 109 figures respectively.

February saw a further dip in the figures and horse bettors need to pay attention to progression here.
