In Figures We Trust

What were their Beyers in the 5.5F races and what were the Beyers yesterday?

Surely, you can't believe that those races were for real? Fastus Cactus only won by 2.4 lengths and D'big Cat by 4.75 lengths. Who was behind them and why are their connections wasting time running them on turf?

Is it a methodological issue or a JUICE issue? Maybe Fastus Cactus is a STAKE horse on DIRT (and a relative plug on Poly and turf.)
