Riboletta got just 115 Beyers in both of her Belmont Park races.
Tiznow had a 116 and 117 in his two Breeders Cup Classic wins. Also a 117 in his 5 length Santa Anita Handicap win. His fastest Beyer was a 119 in his half length win as a 3yo over fellow 3yo Captain Steve in the Goodwood - his final BC Classic prep.
TG has a runaway scale .. so it's insane to compare horses from different time periods .. but Tiznow and Riboletta ran at the same time.

Riboletta would have run Zenyatta into the ground.
