My memory said Pulpit debuted with a triple digit BSF and I found this at The Philadelpia Inquirer when looking it up:
"In the 25-year history of the Beyer Speed Figures being published, out of hundreds of thousands of horses, Justify is only the 18th to begin his career with three consecutive triple-digit figures and just the second in that group to run in the Derby.
"In 1997, Pulpit came to the Derby with five straight triple-digit numbers. He got a 105 Beyer in the Derby, a number that could win some years, but not that year. Silver Charm, Captain Bodgit and Free House, part of a spectacular 3-year-old class, finished 1-2-3, with Pulpit fourth."
