All bets are off because of the synthetics, obviously.

Last year, the 1-2 horses ran an 86 and we all know IWR rattled off 113 and 103 Beyers respectively when switched to dirt.

CA and its major 2yo/3yo races are obsolete now as a proving ground for Derby horses, which is a shame because it was potent for quite a stretch in the '80s and '90s, and obviously there are still a few horses who may prefer dirt (eg IWR, Papa Clem, Colonel John, Gayego, etc) that are at a huge disadvantage as far as competing in the Triple Crown is concerned.
