Quick and Easy
Don’t want to spend 100 hours handicapping the Breeders’ Cup? Steven Crist offers “the best 10-minute Breeders’ Cup handicapping method I can think of.” Ooh, what that might be? “Call it the Beyer Index System. The BIS is pretty simple. We take the Beyer Index, which is the average winning Beyer Speed Figure for each of the Breeders’ Cup races since the figs were first published in 1990, and we see who in each field has already run that quickly or come very close. For overseas shippers, we use the handy if overly simplistic formula of Timeform-minus-13 equals Beyer.” (Daily Racing Form)
