I will not believe that was a 116 quality race. No way. In my opinion, they slowed the track down a lot after the first two races. I think they saw speed favoring and watered it down some. Invasor was pretty dirty coming back so it was really sticking. But it seemed to me that the track stayed pretty consistent after the first two races. I can see them splitting out the first two but keeping the same variant for the rest of the card and if they do that, I don't know how the Classic gets a 116. One of u that know better than me can correct me but on a single variant, wasn't the Juvenile a faster race than the Classic? I am thinking that a 1:42.60 would be the equal of a 2:02.00 so Street Sense going 1:42.59 should be higher than Invasor's 2:02.18 Is that right? So even though I think the track played the same for all the BC races, I think they obvious split out the last two dirt races from the rest. There is no way that they could have kept it the same and given Street Sense 108 and Thor's Echo and Invasor both got 116. On the same variant, Thor's Echo is much higher than all of them and Street Sense is second. I think.
