I obviously disagreed with the original figure, and wrote the following in a post on this website just days after the race...and a good month before the figure was corrected.

I don't blame them either, though I think they overdid it. They corrected the figure because a few horses didn't immediately run back to the number.
However, Sports Town, in his very next dirt race, probably ran near or even better than his original figure when smashing the small stakes yesterday I would think. This is exactly what I said could happen when they tinkered with the number in the first place. Does this mean now they should change it back? Somewhere in the middle? Leave it where it is?
It is very dangerous to start playing with numbers based on what rapidly changing, inconsistent 3yos are running in the first half of the year. That was my point all along.
