Beyer Figs Bogus?
Oscar Performance ran a mile on the Widener Turf in 1:31 1 and broke a 20 year-old track record at Belmont Park.
For this he gets is a 104 BSF. That's all.
What does a horse have to do these days for Beyer to give a big fig.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what fig Beyer gave Elusive Quality when he set the previous record of 1:31 3?
I think the BSF's have become highly questionable in the last decade or so.
Look at the increasingly large difference between them and the TimeformUS figs. Years ago, I recall there being about a 15 point difference. More recently the difference has increased to about 20 to 22 points.
In this years Triple Crown races the difference was even greater, something like 30 points.
What's going on?
