This month‟s topic of review:

SPEED FIGURES Since 2011, Night School has been teaching novice and expert handicappers alike in the finer points of playing the races. Through live chats, videos and radio simulcasts, the best in the industry have shared their expertise free with horseplayers. In each issue of Horse Player NOW Magazine, we go “Back to Night School” with a look at some of the high points of past lessons.

“Speed Figures” has been an annual topic in Night School and has lured some of the game‟s premier creators and applicators of numbers. In 2011, Dick Jerardi of the Beyer Associates, Ed DeRosa of BRIS, Jerry Brown of ThoroGraph, Len Friedman of Ragozin and AQHA‟s Jen Perkins shared their practices with speed and performance figures in a live chat. In 2012, Horse Player NOW‟s Jeremy Plonk hosted/produced a mini-documentary video with Andrew Beyer that was featured during the discussion of the figs. Beyer returned to class in 2013
