The best deal is when I suspect a Beyer and am right about it. But he adjusts them so it won't last long.

I don't dig as deeply into pace figures anymore, but I agree 100% that digging into into the races after the fact is how you put yourself in a position of understanding the horses PPs better when they come back. I spend WAY more time on the follow up than the actual handicapping.
