Top Speed Figures of 2023 from Horse Racing Nation

2YO Colts - Dirt (12/18)

2YO Fillies - Dirt (12/19)

Let's take a look at the top speed figures for 3-year-olds this year, broken down into four groups: dirt routes, dirt sprints, turf routes and turf sprints. In each group we'll look at the top 100 Horse Racing Nation speed figures of the year and the trainers and sires represented the most on each list.

Looking at the top speed figures earned by 3-year-olds in dirt routes, the top figure of 112 was earned by two colts, National Treasure in a narrow defeat to Cody's Wish in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile and Forte in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga.

Brad Cox leads all trainers with nine individual runners on this list, followed by Steve Asmussen and Todd Pletcher with six each and Bob Baffert and Bill Mott with four each.

Finally, let's look at the turf sprinters and see what trends are there. Interestingly, there is a much greater distribution of winning trainers, and the only trainers with more than three individuals on the list are Wesley Ward with four and Tom Morley with three.

Similarly, Speightstown is the only sire represented with three runners on this list. All others have only one or two.
