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

What the hell is $54. bucks when you are $400+ freaking dollars ahead. Don't toy with me, I feel faint.

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.

You are 350 behind. Another big day and it could be down to 250. I just peed my pants. LOL

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.

Change rightaway, I thought that was a problem for only the elderly. I don't want you getting a rash. Not to mention that its terribly unbecoming to those with you.

Yes, this is an astronaut who wore a diaper for 900 miles in an effort to save time for stops, apparently. One would think she possessed knowledge of gas milage, as in "damn lady, you every seen a car get 900 miles a gallon"?

On the mission of her life, blinded by fury. Now, no job. That fury deal'll get ya.

I think people were hard on her. She didn't do anything to her really. She needs some help. Get her help, let's not put her face on the front of the paper and call her "Astronut."

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?

You are dead wrong on that. I remember it distinctly when. 10 points, you just said 20 a minute ago....Someone who has the race in October I believe from DRF would have it in front of them. I don't.

It is in fact lowered to 92. I have the Feb 28 PPs in front of me, when she ran at GP. I said around 20, as I was guessing, but I'm not now. I knew it was not 30.

Look, they upped it then after lowering it. I can honestly say I remember it being between 68 and and 75 when she was in the race in October I believe...If I'm mistaken I apologize. As I said before I don't use Beyers anymore so I'm going strictly on memory of it from the fall.

I'm wrong. Sorry I just found an article that it was lowered by 10 as you said. Sorry about that. 10 is not that much considering the variant for that day and the distance. Sorry.

It was never lower than 92, I have them all databased. Not a big deal really.

Was there a race in the 60's in her PPs. Maybe that's what happened. Either way, I was way off on that.
