The 90 to me is low for this horse. I'm not saying it's an inaccurate calculation by any means, but that it doesn't truly represent how good this horse is. The numbers he ran last year show that he is capable of faster and until proven otherwise, I believe he can cycle back to those numbers, which put him right with the others at the top.

How so? You don't interpret figures? You don't account for bad trips, scenarios and situations into the figures you're reading? Is this post a joke?

"but that it doesn't truly represent how good this horse is. "

Isnt a BSF or any figure a fig which represents the speed of the race.. A 7 claimer can run a 90 fig does that mean a 7 claimer is as classy as Pyro?

If pyro ran 100 or 90 fig what the F does mean with respect to his potential or quality?
