Beyer had the track speed staying the same throughout most of the card. He had it slowing down 3 points after the 2 turf races. But it should be noted that the Woodward was the only 2 turn race of the day.
So the figure was made on the assumption that the 2 turn route speed was the same as the 1 turn races, Law Professor ran his usual 95 race, Keepmeinmind and Informative were absolutely terrible in the slop, and LIG ran his worst race since his first start.
IMO, that seems like a reasonable assumption, but it's an assumption.
It could be that the 2 turn track speed was slower than one turn, LIG ran his usual race, and Law Professor, a still relatively lightly raced 4yo, ran a significant new top.
That in combination with the slop would explain why the other two were so badly beaten.
