Beyer's for Sat's Stakes

I figured that had to be the case. Weird that a half furlong could account for that much change. Must have been an issue with the run up distance or where they started the timer.

That could be the case.

If anyone remembers the Hutchinson last year, Keyed Entry went 1:07 3/5ths to the six furlong marker and beat First Samurai in a race that earned something like a 111 Beyer.

They probably never even thought about cutting that race loose because the top two had so resoundingly beaten the others, and because the top two both looked to be capable of running a big one.

Proud Accolade overcame a tough trip to win at that distance, with a good figure, in the Hutchinson two years ago. He was like 6th beaten 15 lengths at 2/5 odds in the Rushaway Stakes next time out.

I can't say I really fully trust any figure earned going 7.5fs at GP, it's a rarely run and odd-ball distance.
