Winning Ponies

For those of you who do not recognize the name, Andy Beyer is one of the greatest minds in the thoroughbred racing industry. While attending Harvard in the 1960s, he decided to pursue his passion -- beating the horse races. Over the past four decades, his research and insights have revolutionized and legitimized the industry. Using his math skills, Mr. Beyer created a new way to rate the speed of a horse in a race which became known as the Beyer Figures. Andy has been on our show a few years ago and we are happy to have him back to discuss the evolution of the Beyer Speed Figures and give us his insight into this year's 3-year-old crop. With a big weekend shaping up in Hot Springs, we are pleased to have DRF columnist/handicapper Mary Rampellini from Oaklawn Park as our second guest to help us with the top 3-year-olds squaring off in the $600,000 Gr. 2 Rebel Stakes and we will also try to find the winners in the $200,000 Gr. 3 Azeri Stakes and the $200,000 Gr. 3 Razorback Handicap.
