Does that 106 seem right considering this was slowest Preakness in some 50 years.

The real question is how is a 106 BSF = to " The race was run in a terribly slow 1:57.54 for 13 / 16 miles, one of the weakest runnings of the race ever. It was a prize for the taking — and Lukas was here to take it."

I realize final times have a proportionate amount of value to making figs ,but Beyer's take seems to have been it was a weak and slow race but the fig came back fairly standard for the Preakness.

So was it slow and weak or frankly average to slightly above average?

It was one of the slowest tracks in 50 years, to add some context.
