Interestingly, Beyer doesn't have High Fly's Florida Derby that fast (102). Brisnet has it as the fastest Derby prep thus far (108).
People keep questioning High Fly's stamina, but nobody has run by him late. Noble Causeway didn't make up any significant ground late on Saturday (half a length in the last furlong) and HF was under a hand ride when Bandini made finally started to close ground in the Fountain of Youth.
Sun King, on the other hand, had horses run by him in the stretch in his last couple of races as a 2yo.
