I'm not offering an opinion about the California horses, which are strong in some divisions and weak in others, and I'm not offering an opinion about California Beyers vs. "pars" for certain types of races. I'm offering an opinion about Beyers for California races vs. Beyers for races in other places.
If you go back on this board to a few days after the Sunshine Millions, you will find a post I made about the horses from all over the country who ran, how they looked on Beyer, and how they looked on TG. Specifically, I made the point about the first 3 finishers in the race Lost In The Fog won, who came from 3 different circuits, and the FG shipper (Hot Storm) who won the 2yo filly race. As it happens, LITF and Santana Strings are back in the Swale, and Hot Storm is back in the Forward Gal-- if you take a look at their Beyers and TG figures you will see the kind of thing I'm talking about.
By the way, Santana Strings will carry 116, not the 122 listed.
