I asked Dan Illman of the DRF (he's started a blog on their site) whether the Beyer needed to be looked at again. His reply:
"Dan I: After some tweaking, the Bob and John Wood Memorial Beyer came in at a 99. You make an interesting point regarding the Wood being the only 2-turn race of the day, and that may have made it a bit difficult to come up with a Beyer. Then again, a 99 seems pretty fair. Bob and John received a 97 when 2 1/2 lengths behind A.P Warrior in the San Felipe, and A P Warrior earned a 100 when almost 5 behind Brother Derek in the SA Derby. So, yes, the Beyer needed to be revisited, and 99 sounds pretty fair."
