Lady Rocket's wire-to-wire win in the Go for Wand (G3) at Aqueduct Saturday earned her the highest Beyer Speed Figure of the weekend – 106 for the one-turn mile in 1:36.52.
The only other Beyer Speed Figure above 100 for the weekend went to Americanrevolution for his win in the Cigar Mile (G1) on the same track in 1:36.68.
Conversely, Americanrevolution got a 128 TimeformUS Speed Figure, and Lady Rocket scored a 125.
Other high Beyer Speed Figures for the weekend went to three 2-year-olds. The Remsen (G2) battle between Mo Donegal and Zandon, which the former won by a nose, earned them both an 89 Beyer. And Hypersport got an 88 in breaking her maiden with a four-length win at Oaklawn.
