If this board was like Survivor, I wonder who would be voted off first?

I really don't understand how this has turned into a three page discussion of whether or not this crop is slow so far. With the exception of War Pass, and a couple of decent races by horses chasing him last year, they've been dreadfully slow.
When every figure maker out there has figures that say they are slow compared to years past, it seems like a foregone conclusion that they are slow. Don't like Beyers? Cool, check another source. They all say this bunch is slow. "I liked the way he looked in the stretch" does not make a horse fast, it means you like the the way the horse looked in the stretch. I've seen 4K claimers who look great in the stretch at Hawthorne in the middle of winter -- shall I sign them up for the Wood, since this new style of analysis that I've learned in this thread this afternoon has taught me what equals fast? Damn all the numbers. It really is outrageous, how disconnected from racing reality some of the comments here are.

I will ask again since no one seems to want to answer a sincere question...
Please explain the logic behind the numbers then. I really don't understand. Never claimed to understand. In fact, I said I didn't understand the logic several times. Do BSFs take pace into account?

With that said, I don't have specific notes with me regarding my nickel claimer statement, but I'd be more than happy to find you one sometime in the near future during their Spring meet. I'll put it out there as soon as it happens.
