These are just the highest overall - which all happen to be routes (Hopeful Image's 81 was on turf, so I guess I should've given her highest dirt fig, which was a 77 in the mud. They should have set her odds at 100-1). I don't think any horse in the race has ever run a 1 turn 9F race before, and personally I think in most cases the 1 turn vs. 2 turn thing is made to be a bigger deal than it really is. I do know that Beyer formulas often differ between 1 and 2 turn races depending on the day.
