Truly unimpressive.

The first three are all trained by females ... and is that the first triple digit Beyer figure in the history of Yavapi Downs?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Upon further review ... it's not the first triple digit Beyer ever at Yavapi Downs.

In fact, the horse bounced. He ran a 104 Beyer at Yavapi Downs in his prior start .. and was "vanned off" after the regression to 100 this past weekend.

Going through charts, this horse was off the board in a $6,250 claiming race at Golden Gate in March of this year.

He leaves the synthetic and moves to the real dirt .. and his figures explode initially but it looks like he might have broke down.

Just more fuel for Jerry Brown. Hopefully Carless Jewel doesn't go all I Want Revenge on us.

That 100 at Yav is totally bogus. Check out the times of the sprints and compare it to the time of the route. I know you should use separate variants for sprints and routes, but the spread that day is ridiculous.

I will ...

Do you actually bet Apple Pie Downs?

Seems like there could be lots of horses like this wasting away on rubber.

Uh Huh

Think of all the SLOW horses on rubber that turn out to be FAST on dirt.

This alone should be enough to justify all those days when it rains and the handicapper is subjected to sloppy tracks and off the turfers. Of course, anyone accustomed to playing poly just, in most cases, handicaps as if nothing has changed on days like this. That's handicapping free and easy.

Lets consider the options:

1) we get FAST figures and we spend a lot of extra time handicapping races that aren't run on their intended surface AND, more importantly, we preserve that long held DIRT IS SUPERIOR tradition in horse racing. we also get a ton of freebies with all the track biases

2) we IGNORE figures and get to bet on what we handicap and enjoy FAIR racing

I've opted for 2 as I'm not committed to a FIGURE PARADIGM and a proponent of doing as little work as possible and playing FAIR whenever possible
