According to Moss pace numbers ... that would mean ...
Fastest figure for 1/4 mile in Derby since '92: Spanish Chestnut
Fastest figure for 1/2 mile in Derby since '92: Songandaprayer
Fastest figure for 3/4 mile in Derby since '92: (tie) Songandaprayer & Spanish Chestnut
Fasest figure for 1 mile in Derby since '92: (tie) Unbridled's Song - and whoever was in front after a mile in '98 .. I think either Real Quiet or Indian Charlie
Fastest figure for final time since '92: Monarchos
Spanish Chestnut actually returned off a long layoff in his first start since the Derby and won a 6f race in 1:08 flat with a triple digit Beyer. He was a nice rabbit. He actually sold for 500K at OBS Feb 2yo sale - a lot of money for a son of Horse Chestnut out of a No Sale George mare who raced for a cheap tag at Calder. Giacomo owes him a big thank you.
