you are right...i don't often see people complaining about those donuts they assign the 5000 maiden claimers at pimlico...
my point was simply that it seems as though whenever someone brings up an a specific beyer figure for a horse, you can find someone who will question it, one way or the other
and the reasons for why the figure comes back that way can be spun just like any other statistic...
i have my reservations about using the figures...i seem to have trouble with the theory that the horse ran a 58 last race, how could he have run a 78 today? or, the horse he beat (horse a) ran a 58 last race, so that's the figure he runs, therefore the speed figure for horse b must be calculated off of horse a...
i do however appreciate you taking the time to explain how these figures are calculated most of the time
