Denis of Cork's 97 is the all-time lowest Beyer ever earned in a 3rd place finish in the Derby.
That was some group of 3yo's last year.

'93 was horrible though - I think Bullintheheather won the Florida Derby - Storm Tower won the Wood - Personal Hope won the Santa Anita Derby and Rockomundo won the Arkasnas Derby at 100/1

I think Afleet Alex held that distinction prior to that with a 98, which was a bogus figure anyways because there was no way they would ever give the Derby winner less than a 100 even though it should have been about a 96-97.

trivia... who ended up being the best sire from the 1993 Derby? (hint: it ain't sayin' much about the group)

I actually think the 99 Afleet Alex got for running 3rd is the highest Beyer for a 3rd place finisher in the Derby in the last five years.

Cherokee Run passed the race so can't be him.

Dixieland Heat won that years Lousianna Derby .. he sired Xtra Heat but was otherwise an awful, awful stallion.

Don't forget Sterling Heat, he won for 20k last week for Dutrow.
He has the Dynaformer on the bottom to bail him out, somewhat.

that was an interesting race actually, i was going to email you about it. he looked done on the turn and somehow got back on track and bailed out the entry.
