His 10-2-3-4 career fast dirt record includes his highest ever Beyer figure, a 95, earned last August at the Bay Meadows Fair.
His "comfort" zone for Beyer numbers on all surfaces seems to be somewhere around 80. Based on his dirt form and past runs, an 85 isn't totally out of line with what he's capable of.
Thank you.
So, at least according to the Beyers, the winning efforts of these two horses did NOT constitute lifetime bests, putting somewhat of a dagger in the heart of one key dubious claim in the brouhaha, "Mason, coming from a state with stringent testing and race-day meds policies to one that isn't as stringent, got these horses to "jump up" to lifetime best performances."
