Here's a trivia question ... in the last 6 years, a total of six different Derby starters ran a triple digit Beyer in career start #2 at a distance beyond 6 furlongs.

As mentioned early, Big Brown, Barbaro, Smarty Jones, and Funny Cide all did that and went on to win the Derby.

Lion Heart did that and was 2nd to Smarty Jones in the Derby.

Name the 6th horse.

Cowtown Cat?

Was it Tiago?

I know he ran a triple digit beyer in winning the SA Derby while still a maiden, but I can't remember if that was his 2nd or 3rd career start.

Tiago wasn't technically a maiden when he won the SA Derby. He broke his maiden via disqualification in a just plain weird race.

it's not Curlin - he only got a 97...which was later bumped up to a 99.

Hint, the horse never started on dirt again...but was a multiple Grade 1 winner later that year.

What did he get in the GP race in February? That was >100. 102 I think.. But maybe that was his debut... ???
