Tampa Bay Beyers

[Cannon Shell]

I know that only a few people pay any attention to Mountaineer but it seems like the beyers there are always inflated. I have seen a lot of mediocre, mid 60 Beyer horses ship there and suddenly run 80's or 90's. When they ship out of there they usually go back to the 60's. I knoew that this is not scientific and I have not bothered to do any real research but I always cast a bit of doubt on the numbers from there.

DaHoss, You have to look @the pp's to really see what I am saying. I know I stated an opinion but I was really asking Andy for his.

Thanks for replying to my posts, I wanted others opinion. I just see red flags when the final times are the same and the BSF are 15 apart. I am not in any way critizing the guys who make the figs. they do a great job, 99%of the time. I will continue to value the beyers. As for Thorograph I am from the school of Serling on Ground loss and weight.

I atrribute that to a probably loose medication policy at Mountaineer....but I agree with you that numbers there don't seem to be reproduced at other tracks. Delaware is the same thing.....as is Laurel when they ship to NY.

This predates the KY medication policy change. Back then you could do much more in KY than MNR but the same thing was happening. I thought that maybe since the pre-slot era level of competition was so low there that the baselines that they used were a little off now that semi-decent horses were running there.

I suppose that's possible, and I will certainly try and get you an answer, but you know me, I always think it's medication related.

I'll check tomorrow.
