Best opening 8f's run in the Ky Derby

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Point Given had to deal with the same type of thing as Unbridled's Song.



Songandaprayer is setting the KY Derby pace with the red line. Congaree the blue - and Point Given the green line.



Point Given ran some pretty big races - he won the Travers with a 117 Beyer wearing a bar shoe. He won the Belmont by over a dozen lengths - Ky Derby 1-2 finishers Monarchos and Invisible Ink were both obliterated in that Belmont.

However, I think the KY Derby might have been the best race Point Given ever ran in his career - he wasn't a natural miler and Congaree was.
