I think it could be higher, I got a 121 and that may even be a couple points conservative. I just ran the numbers and got these for the 2 turn stakes:

Majestic Light Actin Good 92
Jersey Derby Endymion 87
Matchmaker Captains Lover 79
Lady's Secret Devil House 94
Oceanport Get Serious 98
Haskell Rachel Alexandra 121

Might even have been better by a 1/2 point or point. She got a -4 in the Oaks and she was 3w3w this time...

Problem is the figures that makes for the 2nd to 5th place finishers in the Haskell. I find those tough to stomach if you give Rachel a 121.

I have no problem with Summer Bird and Munnings getting 110-111's in that scenario, they ran that well. The other two are tougher to argue for however.
