LA BREA: Beyer Index 98
Only 3 horses in 25 years have run Beyers in the 80s. Sam's Sister- join the club!
DAYTONA Beyer Index 99
Betty's Bambino the lowest Beyer ever 2004-12.
MR PROSPECTOR Beyer Index 107
Speechify 102 is better than 2011-12 winners 99-98 and generally in line with recent trends.
LA PREV Beyer Index 97
Irish Mission 92 in line with recent trends 2010-12 (93-93-88)
McKNIGHT Beyer Index 100
Divine Oath 97 the fastest since 2008.
What to make of the significant deficits on the Santa Anita races???
Cheers,

Might have been a day at SA were figs at least Beyer's will not prove as useful a handicapping tool as they typically are? I don't know to me the race was unimpressive (Malibu). Public handicappers and professions seemed to like the race better. Many thought it was another outstanding performance by SB. I think it left more questions unanswered on dirt.
