I just love this post.

If those two are in line with the Met, then Manteca should get around a 103 and Emotival about a 70 or so, no?

It depends on what you do with the sixth. I don't know how you'd translate that 1:20.57 to a mile, but the winning BSF of that race should've been high 50's/low 60's.

From Crist's blog:

"The extremely strong pace and dull surface led to a slow final time of 1:36.91 and very slow final quarter of 27.30 off a pace of 1:09.61. There were only four dirt races at Belmont Monday, three of them at a mile, but it was nearly four hours between the Met and the previous one-mile races. The final times of the three mile races are very hard to fit together because the first two were slow-paced events, but they make a little more sense if you look at both the six-furlong splits and the final times:

Race 2 (maiden claimers): 1:12.84/1:40.19
Race 3 (statebred Alw N1x): 1:11.77/1:37.43
Race 10 (Metropolitan H.): 1:09.61/1:36.91

Think of it this way: While the final time of the statebred N1x was only three lengths (5-6 Beyer points at a mile) slower than the Met, it was 13 lengths slower (33-34 Beyer points at six furlongs) slower to the six-furlong call."

That explains the slow time (maybe), but it doesn't explain the inconsistency in the Beyers for the day.

right, fractions have nothing to do with Beyers.

I was riding my unicycle back from the liquor store a few minutes before the Met when Dixie Porter called and told me he overruled Frankel in the paddock and personally directed Castellano to send that steed hard and draw away at the end. Didn't work out.
