On the topic of Beyers, since that is what this thread was about, as someone who always takes them into consideration, I can't help but feel like Street Sense's descending figures are not a good sign. It could be partially because I feared that he had peaked in the BC Juvenile and that it would be a long time, if ever, before he duplicated that effort. I just don't get terribly excited about a horse whose last three figures are 108/layoff/102/93. That's not a recipe for success on Derby day in my opinion.
