The Beyer Speed Figure is a system for rating the performance of Thoroughbred racehorses in North America designed in the early 1970s by Andrew Beyer, the syndicated horse racing columnist for The Washington Post. First published in book form in 1975, the Daily Racing Form began incorporating Beyer Speed Figures in a horse's past performances in 1992 and the system now assigns a Beyer number for each horse race. On the Beyer scale, the top stakes horses in the United States and Canada typically earn numbers in the 100s, while extremely strong performances can rate in the 120s. In Europe, Timeform has a similar rating scale that yields a number, but with a different value. The popular rule of thumb for a rough equivalent of the Timeform score is to deduct 12-14 points to achieve the Beyer f

  • Die Beyer Speed Figures sind ein Punktesystem, mit dem die Leistungen von Galopprennpferden in Nordamerika bewertet werden. Es wurde von Andrew Beyer, Kolumnist der Washington Post, in den frühen 1970er-Jahren entwickelt. Jedem Rennpferd, das in den USA oder Kanada ein Galopprennen bestreitet, wird nach jedem Rennen eine Punktzahl (die Beyer Speed Figure) zugewiesen, die seine Leistung widerspiegeln soll. Diese Punktzahl drückt die gelaufene Zeit unter den gegebenen Bedingungen aus. Mit den Beyer Speed Figures lassen sich Rennleistungen auf verschiedenen Rennbahnen und Distanzen miteinander vergleichen. Andrew Beyer veröffentlichte seine Speed Figures erstmals 1975 in seinem Buch Picking Winners, seit 1992 sind die Beyer Speed Figures fester Bestandteil der Fachzeitschrift Daily Racing Form. Die besten Pferde erreichen Speed Figure-Werte um 100 Punkte auf der Beyer-Skala, extrem starke Leistungen wurden auch schon mit über 120 Punkten notiert. In Europa werden ähnliche Punktesysteme angewendet, in England von Timeform, in Deutschland von Galopp-Statistik. Die europäischen Punktzahlen sind jedoch nicht mit denen der Beyer Speed Figures identisch. (de)
  • The Beyer Speed Figure is a system for rating the performance of Thoroughbred racehorses in North America designed in the early 1970s by Andrew Beyer, the syndicated horse racing columnist for The Washington Post. First published in book form in 1975, the Daily Racing Form began incorporating Beyer Speed Figures in a horse's past performances in 1992 and the system now assigns a Beyer number for each horse race. On the Beyer scale, the top stakes horses in the United States and Canada typically earn numbers in the 100s, while extremely strong performances can rate in the 120s. In Europe, Timeform has a similar rating scale that yields a number, but with a different value. The popular rule of thumb for a rough equivalent of the Timeform score is to deduct 12-14 points to achieve the Beyer figure. For American Quarter Horse racing, the Speed index rating system is used. The Beyer Speed Figure is calculated by looking at the final time and distance of the race, adjusted by the track variant, which is a measure of the inherent speed of the racetrack in question. The track variant considers both the historical average time at the racetrack for the distance in question, called the "par time", and the average speed for the day in particular. The latter calculation compensates for a racetrack running faster or slower than usual. The Beyer Speed Figure specifically does not consider other variables such as the early pace or traffic problems a horse may have faced during a given race. The figure may however be adjusted if the raw numbers are unusual based on the field's previous performances. The figures are generally less reliable in turf races, which often have a slow early pace resulting in slow final times that do not reflect the horse's true speed. (en)
