I would imagine that if the pars and prior figures for the horses in question necessitated an adjustment, one would be made.
The two things Beyer routinely gets bashed for, and I'm NOT saying you're bashing him for it, are adjusting numbers after the fact and occasionally "projecting" a total that may differ from a given day's variant. I've never really understood the objection to the former, given that it's only done in an effort to ensure the most accurate figure exists for posterity.
As far as projecting and differing from the normal day's variant, that procedure is analyzed at length afterwards to ensure the right move was made. There would normally be an explanation for horses running significantly faster or slower than they have before, and when one doesn't exist, it is better to err on the side of precedent in my opinion.
