I think you can go to Archives here for Tgraph figures from the last five years or so.

2004 Tapit, Birdstone and Action this day all had figures in the 98 Beyer Range
2005 Andromedas Hero and Spanish Chestnut had Beyers in the 94 range.

Giacomo had a 98 in his p.p.s from a 3rd place effort in the Sham.

Both Lion Heart and The Cliff's Edge had faster Beyers than Smarty had and Birdstone deprived Smarty of the Triple Crown with a good Belmont.

I think I see where your going. I've got my hands full determining who has the speed now. In allocating time, figuring out where Beyer went wrong or right in the past isn't on my agenda. I'm gonna voice concern where I think hes off base now though.

p.s. I can recall one his figs were correct upon. He had War Emblem fastest if i'm not mistaken.
