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 in the March 14, 2020 Grade 2 Rebel Stakes [2] and then came in fourth in the ungraded April 11, 2020 Oaklawn Stakes. [3]

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