The bottom line is, for whatever reason, using any speed figures, the Preakness was a slow race for a GR1, even for three year olds.

There is a 20-25 point gap between the two figures, on average.
108 is actually somewhere in the 80's.
124, which was the races base figure, is somewhere around 99-104 Beyer.
Timeform has the race faster by a few points, nothing crazy. Now adjusting for the fast pace boosts up the horses individual performance figure, which Beyer does not have built into his figures.
