Agree on this, and one of the things I've noticed is horses who ran a good race in allowance company stepping up to stakes ranks often don't fit on Beyers despite being legitimate threats to win, and I think part of it is the self-fulfilling prophecy the Beyers have become (i.e., assigning a figure based on what it "should" be classwise).
