Speed figures for turf contests are dubious to begin with given the way they are usually run. The Racing Post ratings cannot be translated to Beyer's by any straight line formula as they are more of a subjective handicap rating. You can look to see what ratings the top G1 horses have and compare down the class level's from there, but it's a ballpark estimation at best.
