Handicapping horses who drop in class

In Florida a MSW at Calder is about a MdCl40 at Gulfstream. Thus far that is about where they seem to fit. Turf paradise to SA seems like a bigger class differential to me but I don't follow them as closely.

I think this is one of those spots where accurate speed figures can be invaluable. If you can get par Beyers (or other) for the class groupings, you really have a good chance to seperate shippers.

Ive followed the racing out there for a long time, those MOC 30s at TP are equal to the Maiden 32s in SOcal. Of course there are other variables, whos shipping in/out, but as a general rule of thumb I would say are lateral moves. Infact Ive seen a lot of SoCal Maiden 32s sold privately to AZ trainers and get drummed in their MOC races at TP.
