They are sometimes subjective. If he bet the horse to win he gives them an extra 10 points if he didn't.. -10
I don't use DRF that often. Too much information on too many pages. I just play for the action anyway

Others on here know more about this than I do but factors such as wind, track depth etc go into them I believe. Maybe one track has a fast surface and one tracks surface is really slow, if a horse at each track were to run the same time at the same distance the horse that ran on the slow track will get the higher #. Although Discreet Cat did get a 116 which is a very good Beyer the track was fast that day. The fact that he was in hand doesn't matter. I look at them as a tool to handicap and nothing else. You certainly shouldn't use them alone. Hopefully this helps a bit.

Wind in itself is NOT factored in except in that it may affect the variant.
As DrugS said.....read his books. They're the best handicapping books out there as far as entertaining reading and information and EVERYBODY who is betting their money is foolish not to at least read " Picking Winners ".

As for Beyer #s....I like them. I haven't read all of his books yet but I have read one and glanced through several others. They are really good. He explains how he determines the numbers and a bunch of other good stuff. I know a lot of cappers don't use beyer #s but I think they are a fairly useful tool. They aren't magic numbers certainly, but they can be helpful. As for not looking at the DRF because it has too much information.....well I will just assume you were being sarcastic or something.
