Fast Figs continues to prove it's consistency in being able to isolate the top contenders even at the highest levels of racing. In this year's Kentucky Derby, the top 4 Fast Figs included the top 3 finishers. Fast Figs takes into account not only the expected speed and performance of a horse but also the level of performance of other horses entered into that race. This gives handicappers a decisive edge against the rest of the betting public who often are only using one or two dimensional speed or performance figures.
