He didn't really tail off when facing better though, he won the Forego and placed in the Cigar Mile and Met Mile.

Uh... I think I just mistakenly transcribed it when I typed 98.

But I'll go ahead and ask what snide point were you trying to make anyway...

For those that are actually interested in what goes on in racing, Bret Calhoun was on ATR today and talked about Canigotoo. Pretty funny story as owners Durant and Jordan had visited the late L T Smith's farm to purchase a different horse, and the Widow Smith said she's make the deal if they took the Menhal colt as well. They did, and he thereby earned the name 'Canigotoo'. Owners want to go to Saratoga for the Hopeful, but Calhoun is thinking along more conservative lines. They will pay the $6k though and make him BC eligible.

It is amazing how some of these horses find their way to the races...

That Beyers are far more subjective than people think and to question them doesn't make you an ahole anymore than anyone who blindly believes every number they read....Ala, the ridiculous figs given in some of the synthetic races that depended much more on the competition, level of the race, or name of horse in the race, Zenyatta, than actually any times....it has been discussed by many other than me, many a time on this here website. Nothing snide involved. But questioning the 100 in the other thread brought out the haters so I have to keep it real. For s.hit's sake.

I saw a tweet a couple of days ago that the Beyer was downgraded to a 96. The original fig was 98.
