Beyers..... I Just Dont Understand Them

[POINTGIVEN1985]

i will give a few examples of why i dont understand them, and why i think they are totally irrelavant in chosing a horse to wager on..

invasor goes 1 1/4 in 2:02 in the bcc and gets a 116 beyer
discreet cat goes 1 mile in 1:32.2 and gets a 116 beyer

now invasor time for that distance is solid, nothing special though
discreet cat sets a track record and is almost in hand the whole race ...
so how do they both get 116, how dosent discreet cat get something like a 125 beyer ? i just dont understand them.


strong contender in the dwyer last year goes 1 1/16 in 1:45.1 ... now that time does not even have to be considered good that can be considered a slow time he gets a huge beyer of 109, horses go that same distance in 1:42 and dont even get 100 beyer's

i know what track and what distance has something to do with it, but it just dosent make since to me and there are so many other examples i could give.
