You won't be betting too many Gr1 races using that one!
My database shows that a Grade 1 for older males at one mile has a Beyer Par of 110.
To put that 106 in perspective, since 2013, the Beyer par for 3yos going 9 furlongs in Gr1 races is 100. Going 8.5 furlongs it is 97.

Yep. The first clue the Beyers may be useless is the fact that they have horses getting slower.... if they got that one so obviously wrong, how can they be trusted?
