Yes....and it wasn't the only time in his career he ran a 122 Beyer.
I bet him at 11/1 that day as well.
He was unarguably best when 4th, beaten just one length, in the '01 Breeders Cup Sprint at Belmont. Basically, the three speeds (Squirtle Squirt, Xtra Heat, and Caller One) raced in the top three positions throughout the race....while Swept Overboard closed from 2nd to last, and up the deeper rail path.
Both times Swept Overboard ran a 122 Beyer in his career---he exited a six furlong loss at Bay Meadows in his previous start.
