![]() Anyone doing figures for the 9f races today is in for a treat. 11 points for the Remsen over the Demoiselle is sure to draw some comments from the Beyer haters, but having to do them myself I know what a nightmare the routes on the card are. #pace

![]() Not a Beyer hater, but as we have discussed before (i.e., Gio Ponti win in 2010 Man 'o War), when figures like this are given in extremely slow paced races, the figure becomes more a performance rating than a speed figure.

I suspect at some point I will move to sliding scales for the value of time and beaten lengths. For example, losing by 5 lengths at 9f in a very slow paced race will count much more than losing by the same distance in a normal paced race. But you still have to give the winner a figure, and that is always going to be tough in these spots.

![]() I'm full of them, just ask me.
Seriously though, if a length counts more at shorter distances, why not? The crawl fests essentially shorten the races anyway.
