Naw, that's 4f - I rechecked and compared to the 5f in the appendix. That's what's there for 4f. The 5 furlong chart starts with neck-1, 1/2-1, 3/4-2, 1-3, 1 1/4-4 ....

Did you remember to apply track variant?

That sure looks like the 5f chart to me.

Okay, someone else w/ "Beyer on Speed", find your book and help me out, here ? (so I know I am not going crazy) - page 134, 4 f chart, appendix p. 235 5f chart.

Guys, I'm looking right at it

You could very well be right that is printed in the book. I know with 100% certainty that those values posted are the ones used for 5f races. Perhaps Beyer is using the same one for 4f pace calls. I don't remember that part, though it would seem strange to do so.

4 f beaten length are different than 5 f beaten lengths. i believe it is something like 1 length is 3 prs at 5f and 4 pts at 4 f. i know the 4 f beaten lengths chart is in one of his books

Um, yeah, it's the one I posted.
