Beyer Article

I would never do this to TGJB; but DRF and their \"nickel and diming\" of players as miff says well......they are just too greedy to not do this.

Other articles of his that DRF charges you for are at the bottom if you are interested.  It has always been this way....except that DRF used to keep his articles up for free.  Not any more.

Thanks for sharing this. That track was slow. And Mub might have been geared down by the wire.  Even so, it implies that a bunch of rats went to Dubai for a $2000000 purse. Maybe they did. I also understand that the timer starts when the gate opens there and not so here.

The horse stayed close and then accelerated (he accele\"rated\") in a long race. TGJB no doubt spent some time on the fig (which I have), but those other outfits like Racing Post and Timeform have been around for a while, too. I would like to hear what some from this group have to say about those figs. One of them has AP sky-high--which should draw plenty of derision from many here.

I think this guy could move forward and shake-up the tote.

What\'s more. I did the math and divided the raw time by 19 to get the average time per sixteenth. You hear about horses coming home in 12.5 second furlongs--which is about what it was. That makes the raw time closer (than the article claimed) by half a second to CC\'s time for the other race.  So the upshot is that Mub\'s beyer would inflate to maybe 103.  

My main point is that if you\'re not going to bet him, find some other excuses because I think he\'s fast enough to hit the tri and maybe win. I probably won\'t key him because of the other question marks about shipping and diet, but I will have him in all the top four spots in exotics.
