Fastest horses: Charge It leads last week's stakes winners
Charge It was the talk of the weekend for his strong win in the Grade 2 Suburban Stakes on Saturday at Belmont Park.
With John Velazquez riding, the Todd Pletcher trainee went the 1 1/4 miles in 2:01.31. The effort earned Charge It the highest speed figures among last week's stakes winners, a 109 Brisnet Speed Rating, a 106 Beyer Speed Figure and a 126 TimeformUS Speed Figure.
One note about last week's races. How Did He Do That won the Iowa Derby at 48-1 after One In Vermillion was disqualified for drifting into How Did He Do That in the stretch and placed second. The two crossed the line in a dead heat.
