Don't get me wrong. Even though I think speed figures are only one piece of the puzzle, I still believe that if a person had access to accurate speed figures and this person was one of the only people using speed figures, this person would have a big edge. But in this day and age, everyone has access to speed figures. Horses with the highest speed figures are usually over-bet. In a game with 16% vig, I think it's pretty tough to get an edge focusing on the same info as everyone else.

How about trying this one:
You guys are right the horse either sucks because he is hurt or sucks because he is slow eitherway the people that bought him have a sack of crap. It goes to show you how tough the biz can be. The horse looked great brought great money for his type and became a frog for one reason or another..
