Did you catch City Man in the Forbidden Apple (G3) on Friday?
Ridden by Joel Rosario, the 5-year-old son of Mucho Macho Man posted impressive speed figures: a 103 in Beyer Speed Figure, 99 Brisnet Speed Rating and 125 from TimeformUS Speed Figures.
He covered the 1 mile on Saratoga's inner turf in 1:33.76, giving trainer Christophe Clement – who trained Forbidden Apple nearly 20 years ago – his second win in the race.
Here are top speed figures for the weekend for Daily Racing Form's Beyer Speed Figures, Brisnet Speed Ratings and TimeformUS Speed Figures, where available.
