22.76; 46.37; 70.91; 96.59 -----------Derby Average, 2000-2018 PUP Derby Spreadsheet
24.42; 48.98; 72.90; 96.34; 108.86 - Maximum Security, Florida, To Equibase Chart
23.08; 47.50; 72.46; 97.53; 109.91 - Omaha Beach, Arkansas, To Equibase Chart
23.46; 47.23; 71.85; 97.48; 110.93 - Vekoma, Bluegrass, To Equibase Chart
These numbers are taken from the Official Equibase Chart, the first (3) fractions for Vekoma have been adjusted for lengths. It appears Maximus will find some company for the first few fractions . . .

The thing that scary good for Omaha Beach is as impressive his Arkansas Derby was he really wasnt pressed that hard until the final 1/8th, while Improbable was asked to go around the turn, Mike Smith was just sitting on Omaha knowing he had a monster underneath him.
