I agree with you that he went about 1:20 4/5. But that being said... the time chart is what it is, and a 1:33.11 is a 134 raw figure, and they clearly used a 14 point variant on the rest of the card.

I think you have a valid point that the time chart parallel might be incorrect at that level, however, and that would explain the difference.

Well, how long do you think it takes the figure maker to determine the final level? First cut shouldn't take more than a half hour for Beyers. It isn't Thorograph where every runners' path has to be scrutinized, etc.
