ESPN had a reporter following this slug throughout the prep races.
This is only a link with early April doings of this horse.

Saarland had a 99 and 95 Beyer going into the Derby. That is a far cry from Court Vision whose career high is a 90. I can't imagine there have been many Derby horses in history to have a lower career high Beyer.
