1:13.45 for 6.5 furlongs would equate to a Beyer figure 20 points faster.

Assuming the 7 furlong filly got to her career top, which is a fairly safe assumption, Quality Road's Beyer would be a 107 .. slightly below the 111 and 113 in his two prior starts ... but solid none the less.

All we need now is I Want Revenge to come back ... and we'd have the only two males from this 3yo crop who are any good.

107 seems reasonable based on the grouping, but I'm just not used to seeing six and one half going under 1:07 and 1:14. the horse was within himself too. really good comeback.

B/c the track was sick fast, so people need to calm down a bit on that track record. Capt. Candyman broke it as well....wet fast is tough to slow down.

Right. Not only did they both break the track record but the third place horse, beaten over six lengths, also nearly broke it. Even the fourth place finisher wasn't that far behind it.

Fast track or not...

I disagree with that figure. It should be as high as 109 or as low as 106 imo.

Now that he trains Quality Road, I wonder if Pletcher was upset about how fast the track was playing.
