Those weren't exactly ideal conditions for figure making.
In that vein- what I say doesn't mean anything in the end, since I don't get paid for it. But those that make figures for the DRF, the largest and most important racing rag in the country, have an obligation to their readers to publish what they believe to be the most accurate figure possible since people DO pay for the information- just like the chart caller has the obligation to truthfully report the lengths beaten, etc.
If they feel that 94 is the right number, so be it. No argument that it was a challenging day. However, in my humble opinion, they have missed the boat here.
