1:13.45 for 6.5 furlongs would equate to a Beyer figure 20 points faster.

Assuming the 7 furlong filly got to her career top, which is a fairly safe assumption, Quality Road's Beyer would be a 107 .. slightly below the 111 and 113 in his two prior starts ... but solid none the less.

All we need now is I Want Revenge to come back ... and we'd have the only two males from this 3yo crop who are any good.
