  She stinks. She basically ran the same slow race every time out.

• The track suddenly slowed on BC day? No -- the later races were just won by slow horses.
  

  Invasor is a slow horse?

• The track on BC day got faster as it dried. Yet Beyer said it got slower.
  

  Every other figure maker, including Brown and Rags, probably concluded the same thing

• I think it's nearly impossible to make or use speed figures from a Breeders Cup day.
  

  It is actually quite a bit easier.

• It is iffy enough to judge a variant in the early races of a card by assessing times versus pars for that class.

  I don't know of any figure maker, other than BRIS computer generated figures, that makes serious use of pars when making figures.

We differ on our opinion of this one.
