Jimbo,
I think it's pretty clear that TG figures are getting faster at a faster rate in recent years.
Beyer gave out a bunch of other 120s in the last few years, but my memory isn't what it used to be. :-)
He gave 123 to an undefeated horse in CA that beat MDO a couple of years back. There was an eclipse award sprinter and a few other sprinters that earned 120s also just off the top of my head.
If his figures are getting faster, its not rapidly. It certainly feels that they are getting faster to me though and I paid pretty close attention to the major stakes races over the years.
