Now that I looked it up - It actually was a 57.82 work 4 days before the Belmont. There was no racing at Belmont that day ... but the following day a five furlong MSW race went in 58.60 and the winner got an 85 Beyer. Thus, if the track was the same exact speed the previous morning, Funny Cide's 5f work time would translate to a 99 Beyer.

Not exactly what you want four days before a 12 furlong race.
