Road to the Kentucky Derby - Update

The seven races comprising the "Win and You're In and Place and You're Probably In Too" segment of the Road to the Kentucky Derby (a.k.a. the second leg of the Championship Series) are now complete.  The UAE Derby in Dubai was won by Lines of Battle; there are no publicly available Beyer Speed Figures for that event.  Listed below are the Beyers earned by the winners of each of the other six races in the series:

RACE..............................................WINNER.....................................BEYER

Florida Derby ................................. Orb ............................................. 97
Louisiana Derby ............................. Revolutionary ............................... 93
Wood Memorial ............................. Verrazano .................................... 95
Santa Anita Derby ......................... Goldencents ................................ 105
Arkansas Derby ............................ Overanalyze .................................. 88
Blue Grass ................................... Java's War .................................... 89

Besides Goldencents, other horses that have earned a triple digit Beyer Speed Figure while winning races that were a part of The Road to the Kentucky Derby series were Verrazano (101 in the Tampa Bay Derby); Super Ninety Nine (102 in the Southwest); and Itsmyluckyday (104 in the Holy Bull).

Peace and Love,
