All time low Beyer for a winning race?

[rgustafson]

Tonight in the first race at Canterbury, a three year old filly by the name of Raisin bread goes in a state bread clm 7500 n2l race. Last out she broke her maiden in a state bread mcl10000 earning a Beyer of 10.:D

I think she'll bounce. :)

Just watched her maiden win. The mile in 1:46.78 and 1m70 in 1:51:34 is molasses. But if she got a 10, what did the other five horses get, considering the 4 1/2 length winning margin? Have they started handing out negative Beyers?

The lowest winning number I can remember was a 16. I think it was a NY bred maiden race.

Beyer Bagels! :D
Used to see a lot of them at FL.

There aren't any negative Beyers, they would just fail to receive one.

After all these years of reading Beyer bashing, I finally see the flaw in the system: there is no way to differentiate between the slowest of the slow.

"I wonder if that's a high zero or a low zero." :confused:

Local fellow that I know casually at the Laughlin racebook I patronize says he likes to put a small win bet on any runner that earned a zero Beyer in its last race.In spite of many very long losing streaks he claims to hit a few real bombs every once in awhile.Pretty sure that I have seen zero figure horses win,but cannot recall when or where.Guy I mentioned skips the major tracks and prefers bottom of the barrel races at the cheapest tracks.

Exactly. :D The race looked normal except for being in slow mo. The second through 4th place horses were trying, albeit like bugs and the evil scientist (starting about 6:20).

June 30th, 6th race, Indiana Downs, winner was given a 7. I've seen a lot of single digit winning Beyers, especially in races for Indiana breds, over the years. I've seen a few at Laurel as well.

A few times I've seen Beyers artificially boosted just to give the winner a positive number.

There are negative Beyers, even though it will read -0. If you knew the Winner's Beyer, and the beaten lengths adjustment for the distance, it's easy to figure out.

The thread was asking about winning Beyers. I think everyone knows there are lots of subzero Beyers.

I saw a maiden Indiana-bred race at Hoosier Park several years ago where every horse in the field had a 0 last race Beyer...not sure what the winner got that night, but it couldn't have been much.

Hush,hush,Mr. Rastajenk.
Like my wife's been telling me for years,this scale is just not right. ;)

I was responding to Mac Guy's post above.
