It would appear as though the Arkansas Derby Beyer is a 101 now.

As I mentioned - it's always a little tricky making 9f figures for Oaklawn Park when it's the only race carded that day at the distance because of the way the stretch run is configured ... but I got a 98 ... one point lower than the 99 they came out with on Monday.

That means that the 3rd place finisher - who was 15 lengths out of it after a quarter mile - now has his number upgraded to a 99. That's an interesting horse ... a 3rd time starter still elidigble for N1X alw races with major stamina breeding for an obscure - but obviously competent trainer in Tim Ice. His Ark Derby start was just the 100th start in Tim Ice's training career. He started training in 2008.

His low profile jock couldn't even make the 118lbs weight assignment for the race. Hard to say how much horse he is or isn't .. but it can't be that flattering to Old Fashioned or Papa Clem that a lightly raced horse like that was eating up as much ground on them as he was. Strong pace and all.
