Some other notes:
* Easy Goer's unadjusted fig in the Wood was a 124. They ultimately awarded it a 110 b/c it seemed unlikely that Triple Buck and whoever else finished in the money suddenly ran absurdly high figs of 118-119.
* From Beyer on Speed: "From 86-92, 7 horses ran 123 or better: Sunday Silence, Easy Goer, Precisionist, Turkoman, Best Pal, Phone Trick, & Groovy." (That means the 122 Alysheba ran in the BC Classic was his lifetime top. Alysheba ran a 95 in the BC Juv and a 113 in the Preakness)
* Personal Ensign ran a 115 in the BC Distaff - that's all I have on her although I seem to recall her Whitney being a 115-116 but could be wrong.
* Groovy 131-134 in '87 Roseben & True North.
* Affirmed 128 (lifetime top) is JC Gold Cup vs Spectacular Bid
* Winning Colors = 111 Derby, 106 Preakness, 115 Distaff
* General Assembly 130+ in Travers
