I know that in the past, DRF has adjusted the Beyer figures given to certain races after the fact. Last year I remember seeing the "Best Beyers" list change fairly substantially because of a few ex post facto changes they had made in sprint figures given on a day in January at Santa Anita. The changes affected some of the big "Best Beyers" figures because that day had featured a major sprint stakes (the Palos Verdes or the Sunshine Millions or something like that). That change was only a few points, but it does show that there is precedent for Beyer adjusting figures after the fact. My question is simply whether, if Smarty Jones wins the Belmont in another impressive time, all of a sudden the "Best Beyers" list will all of a sudden feature not only the 117 or whatever Smarty earns in the Belmont, but a new "114 - Smarty Jones - OP Mar 20" line. I don't think it's all that unlikely.
