Nothing the Cactus did is worth anything considering his behavior throughout the race, but the big fig he earned doesn't seem that out of whack considering the surface and distance changes - especially since he showed an inability to rate on the turf.

I don't have the Beyer numbers for these horses (or the others in their races) so, I'm just going with what's posted here. But some of your reasoning doesn't make sense to me: a horse that's unable to rate routing on turf is able to run big numbers of dirt? What was FC's Beyer number for that race? It wasn't as high as the BRIS # was it?
