Got a bit far-fetched (the measuring stick went wacky)
Has any horse ever received that many Beyers at or over 120?
Has any horse had, what, about 40% of his Beyers at or over 120?

Wacked out.

Like I said, it's not just his speed, it's how many different ways he did what he did.

He had four 120+ Beyers. 128 in the Iselin, 124 in the BC Classic, 123 in the Met Mile and 120 in the Tom Fool. I'm pretty positive he's not the only horse with multiple 120+ numbers. Groovy ran 133 and 132 in back-to-back six-furlong races.
