FP he's not peddling shiat, he's dead on accurate here.
I love it when you call horses crows, I laugh every time  You're right though, someone had to run 3rd, and he probably ran about the same as he did in Peru here, a mid 80's Beyer. |
Are you guys talking in terms of BSF's?
I don't know what the par racing times are at GP. I do have the Beyer chart in front of me from his book
Beyer on Speed. Big Brown's 1:48 for a 1 1/8 is a 122.

-2 108

-2 90
-3 88
-4 87
These are the base numbers. Once they calculate the variant there might be some projection involved in giving these races a BSF.
