We gave Flashy Bull a slight new top, and even if you adjusted the Beyer for ground, it wouldn't come out to a neg 5. Also, fkach can explain how adjusting for ground and weight with some Beyers would be double counting. Because while they don't use those variables, in effect they do in some cases, unintentionally. Like, if you took the Beyer for RTR's Belmont and adjusted it, it would come out way too big.
CTC-- as bad an idea as it is for professional figure makers to combine one and two turn races (and I only know one who does), it's even worse if you don't have wind info. And worse yet at a track like CD with a one turn mile chute. Having said that, on the day in question the wind was negligible.
If you haven't already, check out "Changing Track Speeds" on this site.
