Race was mis-timed. I've seen multiple sources saying that the actual time of the race was 1:46 4/5.

    Just saw they raised Arrogate's Pegasus Beyer from 116 to 119 because of the time change.

    My question is, if the new time is faster by almost a full second (4/5's), how does the Beyer Figure only move 3 points? I've always known Beyers are pretty much useless, but are they kidding right now? A 4-length difference is only worth 3 Beyer points? Just another piece of evidence that Beyer Figures shouldn't be taken seriously.

    But... But... But the track was so much faster later in the day...

    Beyer speed figures are part of a Jewish conspiracy to steal our money.
