2/15 (FG): Risen Star (2), Mineshaft, Rachel Alexandra, more

In the 1st leg of the Risen Star, I don't understand the DRF's "Beyer Edge". DRF shows horses 2-8-1 having a "Beyer Edge", but #7's 94-81-84 last 3 Beyers look better than those of any other horse in the race. For example, #8's last 3 are 89-78-77.

I don't have PP's in front of me. Is the DRF giving some consideration to the length of the previous races or maybe the recency in listing its "Beyer Edge"?

Modernist was a little faster than the Allowance race earlier in the day and probably would have been slower than Finite if she ran an extra half furlong. I’m not sure they should have split the race.
