Right.. As if it was such a difficult figure to produce with the three horses involved at the wire and with an 8.5f race run an hour earlier. Real stretch that the Foster winner ran a 100.

In RandallScott world, they give a 99 to horses who win with a 100 in unimportant races. BUT, in Grade 1 races, they give a 100 to those that win with 99's.

I just can't believe they jacked up Blind Lucks fig from a 95 to a 96. They really just can't stand 95s, I've noticed.
