Let me recommend two excellent books to help. You can probably get either at Amazon rather cheaply.

Joe Cardello wrote one of the paperback DRF books "Speed to Spare" showing numerous patterns and angles for using Beyer's. It's an easy read and will really point you in the right direction.

Dave Litfin's "Expert Handicapping" is the another outstanding book on patterns. He takes it a couple of steps further with Sheets and trainer patterns, but he also has illustrations using Beyer's. He has some excellent material on spotting rapidly improving, lightly raced horses.
