Class,
I have long been on the side that the east coast horses tend to have inflated beyer numbers. Sometimes I look at the winner of the champagne and frizette and the huge numbers and scratch my head thinking that they are too high.
I mean socal racing has taken a beating, and as well they should in some cases, but they can compete. Last year was supposed to be a super down year, and they still won two BC races. The year before they won 5. I also see them shipping into win the met mile, cigar, carter, etc. So maybe here and there a number could be off, but in general they live up to the numbers.
Now vica versa, I can hardly remember, other then good reward, a horse who shipped east and got it done recently. I do know some horse tried it in a restricted to four year old stake this meet and got burried by average horses like imperilism and rock hard ten.
