Tampa Bay Beyers
 

Street Sense and AGS both earned 101 BSF's yesterday.

--Dunbar

I thought it would be higher given the time, but I didn't look at the charts to see how fast it apparently was at Tampa.

Anyone get Curlin's Beyer yet?

Curlin got a 97.

A shame Pitts doesn't have the chance to campaign this horse. Easier to root for her.

Now will that be downgraded to an 85 should he run third in his next start?

Thanks BTW, thought it was a pretty impressive performance for a second start.

Nothing like those hundred Beyers producing track records. Reminds me of the turf track at Gulf giving us a new track record week after week that barely breaks a hundred beyer sometimes. Like 1:32 for a mile on turf and then a 102 or something. Haha....And at Tampa, how often do any quality horses run there and then how often do they run 8.5 furlongs.(I need to hand time this race anyway, as the mile click was like 1:33 or something which obviously was a misprint) That number might be slower than a 2 thoro now that I look at it including the trip. Surely not negative. On to the Bluegrass! Can a Polytrack last prep race produce a Derby winner. Stay tuned.

I actually thought it might be a little lower when you compare his time to that of an optional claimer for 3YOs a couple races earlier. Regardless, as you say, it was a pretty impressive performance for a second start. Plus, he didn't come out cleanly, and didn't earn it getting loose on the lead.

Terrific horse who unfortunately debuted at the wrong time. The rush to the TC always does a horse like this in.

Normally I would agree but Showing Up was rushed and ran very well the rest of the year....Of course I'd much rather have a horse with Tagg than the assman.

It worked pretty well for Street Sense in the fall.

it sure did.

Besides, winning the Derby isn't what matters. The only thing that matters is that he starts.:D

But of course. Hey the Bluegrass is a Grade 1. All he needs to do is win that. Then I get to sit in the corner.

Stop worring about whether you'll be eating crow Randall.

Now you know what it feels like with your back against the wall. Get over it.

The Beyer guys will come out in about a month and say they goofed and downgrade the beyers they gave out.

The don't do it that often, to be fair but it does make you wonder if they should do it more often. And the Magical Ride race(I think that's it) from last summer was lowered like 30 points. That's inexcusable.

And was it not stated recently that Thoro, and others have had this same occurance? If so, lets move on from this one. Its getting old.

Picked out any "lshots" today Rand? I'm looking.

Actually, that Magical Ride race figure was very excusable if you know anything about making figures and tried to make them for that day.

Nope but you just hit for a 54 dollar gain at Gulf. I'm getting nervous.:) :)
