I'm not a resident figure guy, but Andy and I talked Saturday night and thought that the scale of the race appeared a bit lower... We had it at 104-105 from the top, based especially at the time on Musket Man and No Advantage.

But looking at the day in full, No Advantage, who came in with a career best 95, got a 100 in the Schaefer. (The day's other route was Skylighter getting a typical for her 86 winning the DuPont). The dead heat of Ea and Real Merchant, 2+ lengths back of No Advantage, may be the best indicators of the day as they came in off 103 and and 98 respectively.

Interested to see what Jerry Brown comes back with on the TG scale. To be honest, the lower numbers, (104-105 for Rachel, et al), seem to work pretty well for how the top finishers looked on the sheets coming in.
