how did you arrive at the negative \'3\' for the dwyer?

Mike D,

July 4th was that weird day for fig makers. The Belmont surface was painfully slow and changing speeds during the day.Mark Hopkins(beyer speed figs) said he was scratching his head all day.

Caution,view all figs for July 4th at Belmont with suspicion.TG and Beyer mostly agreed for the day. Rag figs were very different scale to scale(Rags slower). Brisnet and Equifrom were all over the place.

On TG, SC\'s negative -3 does not \"fit\" his history but I would not judge until he races back a couple of more times with a few others from the race.Beyer is in close agreement with TG on SC\'s fig.On a relevant note, I have tracked all runners from that day (7/4) running back and so far it seems inconclusive.

Check out the results for that card 7/4 and you will be confused to say the least.

Yeah, 7/4 Bel was a crazy one. The track was slow to for the first five, got much slower for the seventh, way slower than that for the eighth. It rained  before the Dwyer (9th), I actually had the track about 3 points faster for the Dwyer than the previous race. Obviously, I didn\'t do the race to Strong Contender.

thanks Jerry (and Mike).
