Hence has 3rd highest BSF of Derby horses

[Dunbar]

I just saw this note at DRF.com:

"The winning Beyer Speed Figure of the Sunland Derby, won by Hence, has been adjusted to 97 from its original 93, according to Andrew Beyer. Irap and Conquest Mo Money, second in the Arkansas Derby, both exited the Sunland Derby."

(it's at the end of this article: http://www.drf.com/news/cloud-comput...kentucky-derby )

Three other probable Derby starters have run 97's, but only J Boy's Echo (102) and IWC (101) have run higher BSF's.

I realize that creating the BSF's isn't an exact science, but I'm always uneasy when figures are changed based (presumably) on subsequent races.
