Beyer on Bellamy Road
Andrew Beyer can’t say enough good about Bellamy Road following his Wood Memorial triumph:
Bellamy Road’s victory in the Wood was one of the most stunning and authoritative performances ever delivered in a prep race for the Kentucky Derby … He earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 120 — the best performance in a Derby prep race since these numbers began appearing in print in 1991. It was better than the winning figure in any Triple Crown race during this period. And it was better than any horse of any age has earned in the United States this year … based on the limited evidence of the Wood Memorial, no horse in years has gone into the 3-year-old classics with such an advantage in raw talent over the rest of his generation.
