Default Finger Lakes speed figs

always seem high. Both Beyer and TG's. Shippers never seem to run to speed figs posted at FL. Do you think this due to running against classier horses or are the numbers wrong?

Tin Cup Chalice seems to have done pretty well

They are absolutely overbet when they ship to Tampa because of the inflated figs. One of my early meet angles is to play against FL shippers. Their flashy form does not translate to Tampa.

The racing surface difference may cause some of the drop off in form too.

It's an automatic that if the race is run within the State of New York you have to add 10pts to the BSF. The figs are inflated without a doubt and Bigs makes a value point that has proved profitable for him at TBD.
