(it's at the end of this article: http://www.drf.com/news/cloud-comput...kentucky-derby )

Three other probable Derby starters have run 97's, but only J Boy's Echo (102) and IWC (101) have run higher BSF's.

I realize that creating the BSF's isn't an exact science, but I'm always uneasy when figures are changed based (presumably) on subsequent races.
I understand, but it should actually make you more confident in the figure. This was a clear case where the initial number was too low with Irap and Conquest Mo Money running the way they did.
