Weigelia 109

Apparently, Rock Hard Ten, though visually impressive, did not crack the 106 needed to show up on the Top Beyer's list at DRF for 3yos.

Thought there was some pretty impressive horses in defeat in the Calder races. Bear Fan dueled thru a blistering pace and held on well for 2nd while the winner had the perfect trip. Clock Stopper had to close on a relatively slow 1/2 (at least compared to the other 6f stakes) and ran a giant final quarter.

I agree, the Smile fig is inflated due to the slow pace.

108 for the Swaps.

It wasn't that Rock Hard Ten beat a stellar group,, because he didn't. And it wasn't because Rock Hard Ten ran sensationally fast, because his winning Beyer Speed Figure of 108 was okay but not that imposing. ...
