95 Beyer for Hansen in victory. The time was considerably faster than It's Tricky ran in victory at the same distance earlier in the card ... but obviously you needed a variant split because the track was sealed for one race and opened up for the other.
Considering the figure maker had no other routes to work with -- he was probably a little too stingy with that 95.
These are lightly raced 3-year-olds ... 12 horses in this race made their previous start on a dirt surface ... and all 12 of them went backwards on Beyers from their last start.
To me, it's hard to justify giving this race anything less than a 98. Could even be as high as a 100.
