Tampa Bay Beyers

[Dunbar]

Street Sense and AGS both earned 101 BSF's yesterday.

I thought it would be higher given the time, but I didn't look at the charts to see how fast it apparently was at Tampa.

Anyone get Curlin's Beyer yet?

[blackthroatedwind]

Curlin got a 97.

A shame Pitts doesn't have the chance to campaign this horse. Easier to root for her.

Thanks BTW, thought it was a pretty impressive performance for a second start.

Now will that be downgraded to an 85 should he run third in his next start?

Nothing like those hundred Beyers producing track records. Reminds me of the turf track at Gulf giving us a new track record week after week that barely breaks a hundred beyer sometimes. Like 1:32 for a mile on turf and then a 102 or something. Haha....And at Tampa, how often do any quality horses run there and then how often do they run 8.5 furlongs.(I need to hand time this race anyway, as the mile click was like 1:33 or something which obviously was a misprint) That number might be slower than a 2 thoro now that I look at it including the trip. Surely not negative. On to the Bluegrass! Can a Polytrack last prep race produce a Derby winner. Stay tuned.

It worked pretty well for Street Sense in the fall.

Besides, winning the Derby isn't what matters. The only thing that matters is that he starts.
