As I've said here before, Beyer once said to me " we never change a number to make it less accurate. "

I thought that was one thing that might have something to do with it, but I'm just surprised to see it done. It's not like it was a high profile race/horse. It was a F & M NW1X NYSB 6f turf race, so I was just surprised when I looked at the PP's last night and saw the 80 in place of the 78.
