Wipe Your Ass with Beyer Figures

I was just looking over the future pp's and looks at the Beyere posted for two of the races with drf track variant.


Race 3

RADIOHEAD 1:35.4 with a track variant of 89-17 gets a Beyer of 94



Race 8

AMEN HALLELUJAH 1:37 with a track variant of 83-17 gets a Beyer of 100



This amazes me each and everyday the faith handicappers put into Beyer #'s. These speed numbers are a afterthought in today's handicapping. Just last year they were so displeased with there sticky stuff numbers they adjusted them all upward by type of race. How much did Beyer sell this junk to DRF?



I wonder what Miners Reserve got in his race as it was the fastest of the meet at the mile.

Exactly. I think what may have happened here is that the Radiohead race was an allowance, while Amen Hallelujah was a stakes. But regardless of that, Radiohead clearly ran faster (as did Miner's Reserve). Pretty much shows you how much emphasis you should be putting on Beyers.
