By definition the Derby winner will beat some stakes winners. Means nothing because it isn't open competition.

In addition to Promises Fulfilled, who won the Grade 2 Phoenix over older horses, Shivermetimbers and Pepe Tono both won first condition allowance races over older horses during the summer.
Most recently, both the latter two horses ran in the same second condition allowance race at Santa Anita in October. They both placed (2nd and 3rd respectively), finishing in front of--coincidentally--Ike Walker, the only horse Accelerate beat all year that won more than one subsequent race.
Audible is scheduled to face his elders in December and I presume the Clark, Cigar Mile, and Native Diver might draw a 3yo or two.
