Weekend Stakes Beyers: Danzing Candy 107, Cupid 106

So would you call it more of a speed figure or a class figure?

While I understand Freddy's explanation, wouldn't that mean that Lady Eli would have had to run at least four to five ticks faster to get a high BSF?

Yes. That is where I'm at.

Here's four hypothetical situations that I'm looking for answers for from the Gamely in regards to BSFs...sorry, I can't learn crap unless I take a contrarian point view:

1. LE runs three ticks faster, but GYFR still finishes within a half-length and everyone else ends up not running any quicker. Same BSF or higher?

2. LE runs three ticks faster and beats GYFR by 3+ lengths with everyone else not running any quicker? Same BSF or faster?

3. LE runs the same exact time but GYFR finishes even with Avenge instead of a half length within LE an no one else runs any quicker/slower. Same BSF or faster or slower?

4. LE runs the exact same time, but beats GYFR by 3 lengths and and Avenge and the gang also run 3 lengths slower. Same BSF or faster or slower?

I am hardily an expert. Assume Lady Eli ran the same time BUT won by 8 and assume they ran an Allowance race at similar or same distance that day and assume the allowance race had 5 together on wire with horses that had established form and figs that warranted a 92 fig. Now assume that the horse finishing 2nd and 3rd in Lady Elis race were established 98 fig horses and finished together (thereabouts) as she was 8 in front then the time and lengths won by would verify a fig outside her norm and would produce a higher measure for the race
