Whatever figures come from the race won't mean much. The pace appeared too slow to get a big number.

Right.

Curlin and R2R got 106 Beyers. But I'm guessing Beyer fudged those upward just so they'd make some sense compared to the previous (and future) races of all these horses, like he did for the BlueGrass, which also had ridiculously slow opening fractions.

Actually, I don't think he did boost them up for the Blue Grass if I remember right, but I could be wrong.
