Did you guys have as radical a change in track conditions as Beyer folks?
From DRF.com:
Strong Contender moved to the head of the Ward/Oxley class with an authoritative 7 3/4-length victory in Tuesday's Grade 2, $150,000 Dwyer Stakes. While the time of 1:45.24 was the slowest of 13 Dwyers run at 1 1/16 miles, the performance earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 109.
Mark Hopkins, who makes the Beyer numbers for Belmont, said the track got significantly slower as the day went on. Hopkins said he had to adjust his figures by 32 Beyer points for the last three dirt races.
"It was one of the most dramatic changes I've ever seen at Belmont," said Hopkins, who has made New York figures for 30 years. "And Belmont has dramatic changes."
