Get Smokin's 1 3/4-length win in the Grade 2 Kentucky Turf Cup on Saturday earned a 104 Brisnet Speed Rating, the highest among last week's stakes winners.

With Fernando de la Cruz aboard, the 6-year-old son of Get Stormy trained by Mark Casse covered the 1 1/2 miles at Kentucky Downs in 2:28.66 and earned an automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

The highest Beyer Speed Figure of the week, 101, went to two stakes winners. One was Moira, whose win in the Canadian (G2) was her first since last year's Queen's Plate. Trained by Kevin Attard, the 4-year-old filly and Rafael Hernandez went the 1 1/8 miles on turf in 1:46.04.

Also earning a 101 Beyer was Doctor Oscar for his win in the black-type Crocrock Minnesota Sprint Championship at Canterbury Park. Trained by Tim Padilla and ridden by Alonso Quinonez, the 4-year-old colt went six furlongs in 1:09.66.
