There was no appreciable slowdown or speed up of the track on either day. The Gold Cup, despite having a soft pace and a weak field, was a very fast race.

So, shockingly, another person criticizing the Beyer figs did it out of ignorance.

I sure didn't see that one coming.

I didn't criticize the Beyer Figures. I just said that it seemed like maybe it was adjusted a little too much from Saturday to Sunday, noting that I am not an expert and that, after looking at the 5.5 claimers and the mile races over the two days closer, I may have been wrong and noting that I was predisposed to being impressed by a horse running Sensitively off her feet at 107 and 3.

I don't work for Beyer nor have I been crunching figs for years and years like you have. It was a discussion. Why do you have to call me ignorant?

Thanks Nick for the info btw.
