I agree it is a tough call of when to split and not. However, when a race is isolated and surrounded by turf races on both sides like the Met, more times than not if the horses in the race indicate the track changed speeds it probably did. I'm not saying every time, since there really isn't a way to know until later. But most times, Beyer does a good job in those spots.
On the raw figures, I have them as 120 and 132, but it is done using a computer. The Beyer charts I've seen published tend to go awry as times get extremely fast or slow. I agree about Hopkins, he is probably the worst of the group.
