I'll let our own 'speed boys' delve deepest, but those figures make perfect sense and show the track was a little faster than par. Dunkirk's # is rignt in line with his last, and Quality Road regressed logically on the initial two turn try off the huge one turn effort. What's the issue?

justindew 03-29-2009 09:23 AM

BRIS numbers are similar, FYI.

I think it's my own personal bias with what constitutes a good race, and a confusion of the beyers as something that measures quality of the race, or performance.

Interesting...

Quality Road's performance yesterday, in terms of pattern development, was nearly identical to his ALW regression (90) after the MSW win (101): FOY (113) to the FL Derby (103).

Consecutive pattern: 101-90-113-103.

Travis Stone 03-29-2009 09:43 AM

I went back to old Derby winner charts because I thought in my mind there were a few winners who regressed in their prep, and then moved forward again for the Derby. But really only a few did, and they're minor examples (Monarchos did and so did Smarty Jones, but Smarty Jones only did it with one point. Street Sense did, but it was poly).

So are you saying he's sitting on a 125, or have I taken too many of those online IQ tests?

Feels a little low to me. Ran the numbers using Beyer's projection method and there's two ways to look at it IMO, both leaving out the Fl Derby.

(1) take the average of all the variants not including the Fl Derby. I get:
R1: 102 Just Ben (85 Mighty Score)
R2: 88 Santana Six
R3: 55 Senor Leche
R5: 86 Glitterman's Cartel (85 Nicanor)
R7: 100 Vitruvius (97 Groomedforvictory)
R9: 113 Big Drama (112 This One's for Phil)
R10: 110 Quality Road (107 Dunkirk)
R12: 68 Jacoby's Run

(2) Leave out the outlier, R12, which could be just as dreadful as the time indicated (the winner was 4-1 coming off a 4 length defeat in a $80k MCL...) which drops every race by 2 points.

It seems to me that everything fell pretty much into line except the last race (the variant range were a very tight 12 to 20 from the raw figures), which is why I don't understand why it's 5-7 points lower than what I get.

The Indomitable DrugS 03-29-2009 10:21 AM

Not an easy figure because it was the days only two turn dirt route race.

I projected a 106 figure for the race. I can see a 103 though. The five horses who raced close to the pace in the 7 horse field - including the winner - all made double digit backward moves .. while the two deep closers in the race ran slight new career tops.

Certainly not the type of thing you expect to see on a track like that when the raw pace number came back 11 points slower than the raw final.

justindew 03-29-2009 12:42 PM

Quality Road's BRIS Speed ratings (debut first): 102-97-110-103
Quality Road's Beyer Speed Figures: 101-90-113-103

Bobby Fischer 03-29-2009 03:00 PM

i don't think Quality Road "regressed" a bit, but yea his final time figure should be a little lower than his FOY even though they broke the track record, because the track was so fast.

I know I am talking semantics here.

Thunder Gulch 03-29-2009 04:07 PM

I'm sure there are a handful who regressed and went on to win the Derby. I'd be interested to see how many of those were coming off a 113, bounced, but won a G1 anyway.

well maybe he did by the numbers however even on a speed track, records being broken the thing that impress me was Dunkirk got to him in str and Qr just pulled away, that move will overcome bad bounce figures anyday,and besides if he bounced that bad what happened to the horses he beat? Dunkirk,there goes jo-jo, the race was better than the beyers can show.

Bobby Fischer 03-29-2009 07:22 PM

The only thing he bounced on was the numbers on a paper.

There is a pretty good chance that Quality Road was a better classic distance race horse on Florida Derby day, than on Fountain of Youth day.

I don't believe in "bounce."

So the mile races at GP have a +8 point adjustment vs. the standard par chart for the no-runup timing. Guess that makes sense. So 103 would be only 3 lower than what I get then after refiguring for the mile races.

Linny 03-30-2009 01:07 PM

Why didn't GP card any other 9f dirt races on Fla Derby day? It has to be pretty hard to assign a fig when the G1 is the only race at the distance on the card. Isn't that why they always used to card that 1 1/2 mile starter on the Belmont card?

i can't imagine any racing secretary carding a race to help make it easier to figure out speed figures

It's not just speed figures ... you can't properlly analyze several factors in a race as well when it's the only one on the whole card carded around two turns on dirt.

It's a disgrace that it keeps happening on big race days.

Agreed. I'm really not a figure player but I like to have some perspective and when the G1 on the day is the only one at the configuration.

Some of you guys love to "delve deeply".
