I'll stop budding in when you state what the problem is accurately. Simply state that you believe that Beyer has a relationship problem between some tracks that is tending to make CA horses look better than they are relative to horses at track "X". The problem is not CA though (except for some specific races from time to time). Take my word for it. I would not question your figure scale, but I've been working with Beyers since the 70s and there is a zero percent chance that CA is too fast.
The reason this is important is that horseman and handicappers judge the relative merits of horses and crops vs. how fast the horses run relative to average or past crops.
If you lower the CA Beyer figures, you unfairly turn a bunch of mules into goats.
If you tell me you are selling a horse than ran a +1, I need to know both the price and caliber of horse so I know if that +1 is equal, faster or slower than normal compared to the price I am paying.
