Oh yeah...he is currently enrolled at UNC Chapel Hill, where he is engaged to the reigning Holiday Inn Express homecoming queen, KYRIM





Oh yeah..welcome to the board.

Most of beyers books are pretty solid, They'll give you a great foundation into handicapping, just dont drink the kool-aid and fall in love with his numbers.....

Don't even bother reading anything, it's a waste of time. Rather, do what they do in poker, go ALL IN!!. Act like you know everything, start posting your opinion about all the horses/races, and makes sure you quote Kenny Mayne or Hank Goldberg every so often. You'll fit right in.

I mean, if you really wanted to do the overkill thing, you could start buying someone's figures and include "Beyer number" in every 2nd sentence.

This is an EASY game.
