Circle P broke a six-race losing streak to win a Laurel Park stakes and earned the highest Brisnet Speed Rating, 100, in the process.

The 4-year-old Speighster gelding, a Maryland-bred trained by Flint Stites, covered the six furlongs in 1:10.69 to win the Not for Love Stakes by a nose at the wire. Circle P also earned an 89 Beyer Speed Figure.

Skippylongstocking was the stakes winner with the highest Beyer of the weekend, earning a 103 Beyer and 98 Brisnet for his win in the Challenger (G3) at Gulfstream Park. It was his third win in the 1 1/16-mile stakes and his first win in four starts since he scored in the Charles Town Classic (G2) in August.

In the lone Kentucky Derby points prep of the weekend, Owen Almighty earned a 95 Brisnet rating and 92 Beyer for his win in the Tampa Bay Derby (G3). Reigning horse of the year Thorpedo Anna got a 95 on both the Brisnet and Beyer scales when winning the Azeri (G2) in her 2025 debut.
