Crist talks a little bit about the 103 Beyer here:

A few of you asked about the Beyer figure for Quality Road's Amsterdam. It has been provisionally given a 103 amid the ongoing uncertainty over the fractional and final times for the race. If you took the clocking of 1:13.45 for 6.5f at face value, and assigned the race the same variant that worked perfectly for every other dirt race on the card, it would get a 119, which seems impossibly high given that Quality Road stumbled at the start and raced wide and that such a winning figure would give Capt. Candyman Can a 113, a 14-point career top in a race where he altered course sharply, and distant third-place finisher Captain Cherokee a 104, a 16-point career top.

I think the main problem seems to be that they arrived at 119 on a single variant. Other people have come up with figures that would place it at 110 or 112 on a single variant. So they may not only be putting the races on the second variant too low but may also be overrating the races on the first variant by 7 to 9 points.

Oh God!

If that's so, they gave 44/1 debuter Tri Polar an 86 for winning the 20K MCL on race after the Amsterdam!

If that's so, they gave Dance Gal Dance a 7 point new career top and Doremifasolateedo a big double digit jump off of his last two.


I accept the 1:13.45 final time as obvious fact and only came back with a 109 Beyer for the race. They have the surrounding races too fast.
