In my mind I always looked at bias type days from a trip handicapping standpoint, but never really adjusted figures.
Maybe I'm off on how they are calculated. Guess I need to keep reading...

Andy or DrugS will be able to answer your question much better in terms of adjusting the figs. But to put Thursday in perspective, there was one off the pace winner, Rizzi's Twist, who got an 81 and won because they went psychotically fast early and collapsed late. Then there was Rodman who split foes in the stretch and won going away at first asking and also got an 81. The only other race that was won by a horse from a bit far back was My Anna Rose who towered over a scratch-reduced field.
What you can garner from all of this is that Rodman's maiden win was solid, at least in my opinion and that Carolyn's Cat got a high figure because the only other 6f race that could have been fast was not. The N1X that Rizzi's Twist won went:
22.5 45.64 58.31 71.38
Carolyn went:
22.96 46.75 58.35 70.52
Rodman went:
23.18 47.06 59.44 71.43
Sorry if I clogged up a useful thread with boring Aqueduct Thursday stuff.
