How Fast is a 106 Beyer?
Looking at this years Derby, I thought that the 107 BSF Justify got, and the 106 of Mendelssohn were very high for horses coming into the Derby.
I wanted to see if there were any others that ran that fast in a final prep, and how they fared in the big race. I went back ten years...
Had to go back to 2015 and found:
Materiality: 110 in the Florida derby, 102 in a stakes prior to that: Finished 6th.
Dortmund: 106 SA Derby, 104 in San F.: Finished 3 lengths back.
Upstart: 108 Fla Derby, 93 FOY,: finished last.
2014:
California Chrome: 107 SA derby, 108 San F: Won Derby with a 97.
2012:
Bodemeister: 108 Ark derby, 101 San F: 2nd in Derby beat by I'll Have Another who scored a 101 Beyer.
2008:
Big Brown 106 Florida Derby, 106 Alw. : Won Derby with 109 Beyer.
