Speed figures: These are last week's fastest stakes winners
Knightsbridge earned a 130 Horse Racing Nation speed figure for his romp Saturday in the Grade 3 Gulfstream Park Mile, the fastest rating among stakes winners last week.
The 5-year-old son of Nyquist returned from a nine-month layoff in November and has reeled off four consecutive victories for trainer Bill Mott, with the last three coming in graded stakes. With Junior Alvarado riding, Knightsbridge took control in the stretch of the one-mile race and won by 11 1/4 lengths as the odds-on favorite. He also earned a 105 Brisnet Speed Rating and a 112 Beyer Speed Figure, which was the highest Beyer for any runner this year.
