I think the Beyer is suitable. Of course, everyone's opinion is welcomed here.

Vic Stauffer is the only one who tried to bury the validity of the Beyer number. And Vic Stauffer is an honorable man.

Whether it is solicited or not is another matter.

What the heck are you talking about? I said TRUST THE NUMBERS. How on earth is that trying to bury the validity of the Beyer number?

Here's a copy of what I posted....................................65 Beyer

Wow. That's a shock. Visually it looked alot better than that. BTW kids don't be fooled by how the rider either drives or doesn't. I've learned over the years to TRUST THE NUMBER. I've seen a thousand races where the jock was motionless but the horse especially a young one was doing his best. The horses don't have the reasoning in their minds to gear it down. They just run. Rosario asked him to roll pretty good going to the quarter pole. From there in regardless of what he did I expect Empire Way was pretty much doing close to his best. The numbers tend to be the closest things to fact. Adjusting off those with something tough to quantify usually is not nearly as reliable. TRUST THE NUMBERS. Will be very interesting to see what Thoro-graph and Ragozin give him.

The great Homeric tales were passed down orally from generation to generation...

This can be like the DT version and we who witnessed it can recall it for future DT generations.
