Maybe he's right but unbelievable does not mean it's a fact. Maybe Beyer needs an open mind.

How come Santa Anita turf horses are getting so low of figures but are running final times much faster than a few years ago...yet they ship and lose (see Kee last couple weeks)
I dont get it, please explain. The raw times are so fast.
