The Bris figures (increasingly becoming more useful than Beyers, and what I use when I don't have my own numbers) had Eight Belles running an 83, 86, 77 (not perservered), 91, and 99 (in the N2L) in the races in question. Not quite the startling form reversal that the Beyers would indicate.

Of course on the bris figures the three starts for Recapturetheglory on the dirt were 95, 99, 104 which hardly seems like an unrealistic progression.
