May as well figure it on paper as well.
It's a mistake to assume Flying Private's run was better because of the 102 Beyer. It's a judgement call you have to decide personally. Contrary to some, many?, I happen to think Summer Bird's run in the Derby was more impressive.
However, I really don't view either horse as a threat to run in the Belmont exacta.

You can't compare the two because the races unfolded on different tracks with different scenarios and so on. It's comparing apples to oranges. I am using the one race where the two of them ran against each other.
I am using the three fastest figure horses in the Belmont as those are the three who I think are the win contenders. Mine That Bird, Dunkirk, and Flying Private have run the fastest races and are the three that I think are win contenders.
