A short head isn't going to produce a 2-point difference..

I think it's going to be at least 110. Flashy Bull and Hesanoldsalt ran 1:47 4/5.. My guess is 111.

It's interesting, Dr Roman has given both Curlin and Street Sense a -52 PF (as compared to SS's -57 Derby)..that would equal a 103 Beyer if seen the same by Beyer. That seems a little low to me...I thought the PF for both would be in the -60's...will have to wait to see what Beyer says

This is a VERY tough card to make figures for....

There will be at least one variant split.

Whatever the figure comes back, I would almost take it with a grain of salt, as it would be VERY difficult to have any confidence in that number.

I'd be very interested to hear how CJ has it....because his figures factor pace in.

He provides both a speed fig and a performance fig. Tha latter takes pace into account.

ps, as you probably know I'm not that cj

Curlin and SS will both get the exact same figure--there won't be a 2 point gap.

If the margin is anything less than a half length at that distance...the figures come back the same for both horses.

Yes probably so. But there should be a 1 or 2 point diff. Tougher run for the winner.

Beyer's never been high on the winner. His speed figure will be interesting. For about 2-3 seconds. Maybe a split variant with all the races through the 11th on one variant and the 12th and 13th on a different variant.

During a TV interview Beyer said he felt the track was not playing particularly fast when questioned.

Does Beyer actually do the numbers anymore, or just alter them?
