Class,

I was making a serious suggestion. I really do wonder what Beyer would say if you emailed him, and you could actually email him and find out what he had to say about it.

If it's true that you don't give "a rats ass" what figure Ghostzapper ran I have no idea why you would post your opinion that "122 is a bit on the fast side" in the first place.

Based on what I know about Beyer, I don't think he's "breaking out the race." He may review and change something later, but Beyer's method is, by necessity, more mechanical. The race was two ticks slower than the stakes record. I can't say 122 is terribly out of whack for Beyer, since that's pretty much where the clock puts the race, and the clock is his main ingredient.

Beyer may have a good answer for you, and it may help you in your search for the "accurate appraisal" you are looking for. If you got an answer I'd be interested in hearing it.
