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

30 points. Yes the variant was difficult. But that isn't 10 points. That's a pole and a half difference.

The race was for a field of horses with no history, run at a rarely run distance that for some reason was running fast, most likely the run up. Beyer has to make a figure within a few days per contract, so he can't wait for the horses to run back.

Also, the change was around 20 points, not 30, which is about 6 lengths at 5 furlongs. That is no pole and a half, and shows me you aren't really familiar with making numbers.

LOL, it was more than 20 I think. And I was exagerrating for sure. 6 lengths? C'mon. I highly doubt that...But I know how Thoros are made. I don't put much into Beyers which the Valid Video race and Shake You Down race at the Spa convinced me of.

20 points at 5f on Beyer is 6.5 lengths.

Seriously, if you didn't know that was in the ballpark, I'm not sure how you can then knock the figures like you understand them. You don't.

It was lowered from 102 to 92. Are you intentionally giving out misinformation, or just posting whatever pops in your head?
