So what the odds that some 15k claiming horses from Sunland start to ship over to Churchill for some graded stakes races?

Mine That Bird was nowhere near the level of a claiming horse, you can't use the comparison. He ran in a 900k race filled with allowance/small stakes type horses. Possibly G3 level horses if you look at Kelly Leak.

I didnt say he was, I answered a post that said there was some sort of angle from training and racing at Sunland in high altitudes and coming to CD and making a huge jump and improvement. I was just saying that some fool out there might think his 15 claimer is a stake horse now at Churchill.

Thats huge for a ground saving trip that only got a 107 beyer.
With her type of trip seems like a 113-116 beyer would be more in line with the neg# 4

Friday had to be a nightmare for figuremakers with the track condition changing like seven times, but I agree that I thought her Beyer would be higher.

I'm not even remotely close to being an expert when it comes to making figures, but when you look at her time and compare it to the time in the Distaff, why would you think her figure would be higher than it is?
