this is one reason I don't like Beyers Speed Figures

[Round Pen]

The reason I know this is I am connected to the horse in Question. Skipadate who is racing in the Delta Jackpot on Friday Night.
Prior to the BC Juvenile Turf Skipadate ran a very gutsy 2nd in the Grade 3 Summer Stakes at Woodbine where he recieved a 94 Beyer 3 weeks Pass and Skipadate runs poorly in the BC Juvy Turf.

Now I look at the pp's for Friday's Delta Jackpot and I see His Beyer number from the Grade 3 Summer has been lowered to 83. To me that is a complete joke.

I can almost guarantee you if he had won the BC Juvie turf that number would have never changed from a 94 to an 83.

And What about the Betting Public on Breeders Cup Day, I am sure there were plenty of people out there that Bet on Skipadate just because he had ran a 95 beyer and had shown an increase in his figure from his 3 starts.

Maybe they should get some sort of refund on there bet.

Plus how many times does this same thing happen without the betting public even knowing there was a change whether it's 5,10 or 15 point increase or decrease in a horses figure. LIke I said earlier I noticed this right away because I am Connected with Skipadate.
