Career

Basin's first race was on June 14, 2019 at Churchill Downs, where he came in second. He grabbed his first victory in his second race on July 21, 2019, at Saratoga, where he won a Maiden Special Weight race.[1]

Basin competed in his first Grade-1 race on September 2, 2019, where he won the 2019 Hopeful Stakes.[1]

His 2020 season was an up and down season. He came in third place at the March 14th, 2020 Grade-2 Rebel Stakes[2] and then came in fourth at the ungraded April 11, 2020, Oaklawn Stakes.[3]

He came back with a win at the Grade-1 May 2, 2020, Arkansas Derby, after the original winner was disqualified, but in July 2020, came in a disappointing 10th at the Blue Grass Stakes. The Arkansas Derby win helped put him in the running on the 2020 Road to the Kentucky Derby.[4]
