If he had been running anywhere close to that beforehand, it would be different. But I think his best Beyer before that race was a 96 and all of a sudden, he's 120 and that should be expected again? Not by me.

Millenium Wind is another in the Bluegrass, 111 off the top of my head. That's the influence of Beyers, Cigar was consistent & honest as they come but he never hit the 120 mark I believe. I doubt anyone here would call him a slug or that Bellamy Road was better than him.
