These are last week’s 15 fastest stakes winners
Du Jour might have been overshadowed by his teammates after winning the Grade 1 Frank E. Kilroe Mile on Sunday at Santa Anita, but he came out on top of the speed figures for the weekend's stakes winners.
The 6-year-old gelding earned a 100 Brisnet Speed Rating and 103 Beyer Speed Figure for his win in the Kilroe Mile. With Flavien Prat aboard for the one mile on turf, he surged in the stretch to win by two lengths for trainer Bob Baffert.

Jack Hammer is second on the list after running his 2024 record to 3-for-3 with a win in the Edward J. Johnston Memorial. He got a 100 Brisnet and Beyer and a 112 TimeformUS Speed Figure.
In the weekend's points preps for Kentucky Derby 2024, Deterministic got a 99 Brisnet, 93 Beyer and 113 TimeformUS for his Gotham (G3) win. Dornoch earned a 94 Brisnet, 88 Beyer and 113 TimeformUS for winning the Fountain of Youth (G2). Imagination got a 92 Brisnet and 96 Beyer for his win in the San Felipe (G2), but no Derby points because he's trained by Baffert. And Encino got a 91 Brisnet, 89 Beyer and 113 TimeformUS for winning the John Battaglia Memorial.
Newgate, Baffert's other graded-stakes winner on Sunday, earned a 99 from both Brisnet and Beyer for scoring in the Santa Anita Handicap (G1).
