Early Weekend Beyers

I don't need examples.

These races in California are turf races. They have no measurable affect on the TC races. That is not to say a West Coast horse can't do well in later dirt races, but their performances right now are in no way reliable predictors, and without that possibility we learn nothing.

we are agreeing, it actually should be a benifet for a player like you who can analyze a horse not only based on a speed figure.

For the record, the most impressive win of the meet was Matto Mondo and that horse got a 102, he can win the Met, ran on dirt in Chile so that should not be an issue.
