BEAT THE BEAM

Nearly every handicapper who embraces “physicality” handicapping will tell you that in today’s game of short fields and short prices, they couldn’t possibly wager on a horse without looking at him.  Visual inspection has become an essential “edge” in their wagering!  This includes the legions of players forced to wager via satellite at an off track simulcast outlet.  Those of you who have a copy of my 90 minute video BEAT THE BEAM, know that physicality handicapping via the beam is not only possible, it’s very profitable if you are willing to put in a small amount of extra effort that’s returned to you many times over.

Reviews and commentary:

   "One of the most thoughtful and literate books on horse racing." --    Andrew Beyer, originator of the Beyer Speed Figures, Beyer On Speed, p. 55.
 

"On a par with the works of Andy Beyer and James Quinn in its clarity and insight into the game." Ian Blair, Editor of the American Turf Monthly
 

"Charles Carroll is a provocative speed handicapper and his book represents a major contribution to that rarefied art. The author urges handicappers to use his new methods in sprints and he gets no resistance from me. I also like his treatment of pace and the delightful fact that the book is so well written." -- James Quinn, author of Figure Handicapping and many other fine books on horse racing
 

"This book may change your mind about a number of ideas we horse players hold as gospel. I strongly recommend Handicapping Speed." -- Tom Brohamer, author of Modern Pace Handicapping
 

"Carroll offers some of the best discussions of top speed, parallel speed, computing speed...this is the sleeper of the year, a true overlay in handicapping works." Howard Schwartz, Gamblers' Book Club
 

"This is a work for those who read handicapping books for more than just a mechanical process for selecting winners." Dr. Howard Sartin, originator of "The Sartin Methodology," co-author of Pace Makes The Race
 

"Carroll's ideas have been developed independently and are not a knock-off of someone else's work." Vince Doyal, American Turf Monthly
