BEYER: Poly's Anti-Speed Bias

I am not buying that 93 as an absolute certainty, though, and thanks for your insight Sniper.

The number is perfectly correct, that doesn't mean it is a number you want to use considering the pace of the race made it virtually impossible to break a 95 Beyer. The polytrack was blazing as evidenced by the speed the last three furlongs of the race went in.
