Splitting the variant there gives Chelokee around an 89 figure, which does seem low. The pace was pretty quick in that race though, so I tend to think the 89 is a good figure. Beyer instead gives Chelokee his 95, while downgrading the Diabolical race by itself.
He does then split the variant for the 11th and 12th, while reverting back to the old variant, or splitting again, for the last race.

chelokee getting a lower than expected makes sense to me. the jockey decided to closely track stonehouse because letting him have a loose lead was the only way chelokee was gonna lose that race. the strategy worked out, giving him the win but i think it cost him(chelokee) some of his late kick. he came home pretty slow.
