Its in the slop so this one may not be the same argument but just about every horse that goes from Synthetic to Dirt and wins somehow gets much faster. Beyer does not have a grasp of the synthetic surfaces, and frankly here is hoping he never does!
Thing is, Tough Tiz's Sis had run 11 races on dirt before Saturday and had a top figure of 95, so I don't think that argument makes much sense here.

Plus, she was beaten 6 1/4 lengths last time out and got a 97. How high did you want her figure to be?

thats why I said this case may not be the best argument...I would argue thought she is better the past 16 months then previous form. I am sure a data base guy could prove it out but thats not me....Its related to the pace and I will leave it at that.
