When Eight Belles ran that 100 Beyer figure at the Fair Grounds - there was only one other route race that day - it was a much slower MSW race for colts won by King's Silver Son...who ran an 80 Beyer in victory.
Basically, the subsequent 2nd place finisher in the Rebel Stakes yesterday was 20 points slower than Eight Belles on the same day - routing over the same race track.
