He was last early on, but at the head of the pack when it mattered. Renegade (Into Mischief) turned the GI Arkansas Derby into a masterclass and rolled home much the best to claim his 100 Kentucky Derby points.Shuffled to the back as the pacesetter posted an opening split in :23.25 and a half in:47.80, it became clear that he'd have to close into a moderate pace but his move on the far turn rocketed the son of Into Mischief into striking contention in expedited fashion. Rolling into the lane after six panels in 1:12.52, Renegade powered by Silent Tactic (Tacitus) despite drifting very deep into the stretch and his margin grew from there. There was air to spare between the top two as maiden winner Taptastic (Tapit) gallantly ran on the claim third having debuted just 20 days prior.The final time was 1:49.70. It was trainer Todd Pletcher's record-breaking sixth Arkansas Derby win.Sales history: $975,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. O-Robert & Lawana L. Low and Repole Stable; B-Robert & Lawana Low; T-Todd Pletcher.
