You're only half right there. Beyers mean nothing on the poly since the races have the dynamics of turf races yet the figures are calculated like dirt figures. They still mean a ton on the dirt though. And I wish they changed more figures cause I want the most accurate figures possible. I've never understood the ill conceived backlash when they change a figure, it just suggests an ignorance for wanting to know the truth.
