Kauai King (22.80) ran the second fastest opening quarter of any Derby winner in history. Affirmed (22.94) is 3rd fastest. Both returned to win the Preakness.
I'll Have Another's opening quarter mile time of 23.07 is actually one of the fastest winning opening quarter times in the entire history of the race. He was placed 6th right outside of Take Charge Indy after an opening quarter in this years Derby.
