These horses had the fastest weekend speed figures
That 5 1/2-length win by Speaker's Corner in the Gulfstream Park Mile (G2) was the fastest performance in the weekend's many graded stakes.
Or maybe it was Express Train in the Santa Anita Handicap (G1). Or Count Again in the Frank Kilroe Mile (G1).
It depends, of course, on who you ask, as the chart below shows.
Speaker's Corner's 106 was the highest Beyer Speed Figure of the weekend, according to the Daily Racing Form. He covered the mile in 1:33.84 with Junior Alvarado aboard. He also got the highest Brisnet Speed Rating of the weekend, also at 106.
The highest TimeformUS Speed Figure, 127, went to Express Train, as Craig Milkowski posted on Twitter. He finished the 1 1/4-mile Big 'Cap in 2:03.22.
And did you catch Taiba's 7 1/2-length win in a maiden at Santa Anita? The $1.7 million colt in Bob Baffert's barn got the best marks among 3-year-olds from all three services.
