Bellamy Road won his allowance race comeback at GP by about 16 lengths and his Wood Memorial win was 2nd off of a layoff.
I would say neither performance was as suspicious as This Ones For Phils.

While I understand what you are saying, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. To call This Ones for Phil's number suspicious is a huge understatement and I 100% agree with Beyer's column on the subject. The point was that if you are going to use the suspicious Beyer increase in your argument, I think you weaken your argument because as we all know, those numbers get adjusted down the road, sometimes more than once. I think the argument would have been strong enough without using the numbers as some sort of basis of factual support when there's not enough evidence in as yet to say whether or not the number is indeed fact.
