None of that really explains why you think the figure is wrong.

i don't understand them either. do you leave them in the box? are they ever going to go up in value? how many are made? after all, if tons are produced, they really have no value as a collectors item....


oh wait. beyers....not breyers.

How about this then: The figure sticks out like a turd in a punchbowl in his PPs. I don't think he's capable of running a race that gets credited with a 109 beyer.

a turd in a punchbowl....hold on, i'm writing this down for future reference...

as for the fig--many horses have run a hole in the wind once. oftentimes they fail to back it up. doesn't mean that one high figure is incorrect. they just couldn't duplicate it.

Did I just read that he got a 107 in the Super Derby? I might just stand corrected. I do still think that the figs are becoming more and more subjective these days though.

Sinister Minister at Keeneland last spring comes to mind. i don't expect he'll ever equal that performance.

Sinister Minister's race came over a very speed biased racetrack, that had yielded one wire-to-wire blowout winner after another, in route races, all week long.

One of the horses who were totally drowned came back to run 2nd in the Kentucky Derby three weeks later. Another, SC, won the Dwyer and Super Derby. The figure was accurate that day---the fluky performance by the winner was a direct result of the speed biased nature of the track.

I don't think I ever want to drink punch again. Maybe I'll use a strainer when I pour it in the glass.
