In this book, author Douglas Master explains his approach to quarter horse handicapping. Pure speed is a perfect explanation of what you see with a quarter horse, and Masters explains exactly how to create accurate speed ratings to give you an advantage over the rest of the betting public. The factors that affect a horse's final time are discussed. Masters then begins to teach the mechanics of constructing par times and calculating track variants. Finally, he explains how to project speed ratings for a horse's next race using a variety of factors. Par time charts for seven different race classes are included, as well as a parallel time chart.
