3: 0
4: Subtract 5
6: Subtract 5
9: 0
10: Add 5

It was an shaky day. The first four were run at 8.5f, the last two at 9f. So, it was clearly subjective. He could have gone 5 points in either direction to be honest. He could have used -5, 0, or +5, all logically. I went with a 97 speed figure looking back on my notes, and given the future performance of the horses it stood up well.

The point is, making figures is no exact science and never will be. Some are easy, some are hard, and you do your best.

Awesome info !!! Nice post
