4. Quotes about Speed Ratings
‘It is possible to produce a very accurate assessment
of any horse’s ability by looking at the times it has
clocked’ (Nick Mordin, 2003).
‘Speed figures provide an unambiguous answer. In the
case of horses who are moving up in class, figures can
often disclose lucrative betting opportunities because
the vast majority of horseplayers shy away from
animals stepping up to meet supposedly better
opposition’ (Andrew Beyer, 1975).
‘You need some method of detecting gross differences
between competitors that otherwise seem equally suited
to the requirements of a particular race’ (Nick Mordin,
2002).
‘Speed ratings will help you understand the differing
abilities of racehorses in a way nothing else ever
will’ (Nick Mordin, 2003).
‘Time is the one absolute truth in the game’ (Andrew
Beyer, 1975).
‘In certain situations, an ability to interpret race
times can give you a tremendous advantage over other
punters’ (Nick Mordin, 2003).
