I wish the Beyer folks would just not assign a race a # ,like the Maker's Mark, instead of making a total GUESS.

Yeah - I always wondered why they don't put a question mark next to some of the tougher figures to make.

Forever Together did a wonderful job to attain a respectable beyer considering the snail's pace in the Jenny Wiley.

[Travis Stone]

Forevever Together was more impressive than Mr. Sidney...

Then again, those that actually pay attention to how these things are made will have an advantage when they run back, likely in the Woodford Reserve. Just because a 100 makes it fit best doesn't mean it's right.

I hardly buy the DRF anymore, other than for the news, because of numbers like this.

It would appear as though the Arkansas Derby Beyer is a 101 now.

As I mentioned - it's always a little tricky making 9f figures for Oaklawn Park when it's the only race carded that day at the distance because of the way the stretch run is configured ... but I got a 98 ... one point lower than the 99 they came out with on Monday.

That means that the 3rd place finisher - who was 15 lengths out of it after a quarter mile - now has his number upgraded to a 99. That's an interesting horse ... a 3rd time starter still elidigble for N1X alw races with major stamina breeding for an obscure - but obviously competent trainer in Tim Ice. His Ark Derby start was just the 100th start in Tim Ice's training career. He started training in 2008.

His low profile jock couldn't even make the 118lbs weight assignment for the race. Hard to say how much horse he is or isn't .. but it can't be that flattering to Old Fashioned or Papa Clem that a lightly raced horse like that was eating up as much ground on them as he was. Strong pace and all.

I wonder if Summer Bird is looking at a jockey change soon...?

i don't think it was much of a race, considering as you said the third place runner. i know POTN fans think the papa clem win further flatters him, but i would have to disagree. i think hands down the best horse out of oaklawn this year is headed to the oaks.
