Beyer himself has written a column in 2015 showing historical figures in the Derby from 1990-2014. The figures were higher prior to 2009. But Beyer says nothing in the article about changes in how his figures are calculated. If they did change, how his team calculated them, you would think he would mention it. He cites changes in breeding as the cause of lesser speed. He states that in 2015 Materiality earned a figure of 110 in the Santa Anita Derby.
