TimeformUS Speed Figure Report for week ending March 18, 2018
Santa Anita
G1 Santa Margarita S
1/2 149
3/4 140
Fin 119
Top 3: Fault 121, Mended 120, Mopotism 112
Note: Hot pace - all fractions red in TimeformUS products; winner returned to dirt for first time in 12 starts and first time since being claimed for $50k and is now a graded stakes winner on dirt and turf; runner-up has been an incredible claim for $12.5k.
G2 Santa Ana S
1/2 129
3/4 130
Fin 121
Top 3: Madam Dancealot 121, Midnight Crossing 122, Sassy Little Lila 122
Note: Pace somewhat favored winner’s off-the-pace running style, but should be noted the 1-2-3 runners after opening quarter mile finished 2-3-4, and no other horse in the field gained any significant ground late.
Oaklawn
G2 Rebel S
1/2 118
3/4 124
Fin 121
Top 3: Magnum Moon 121, Solomini 118, Combatant 116
Note: Winner undefeated in three starts by a combined 10 lengths; was a strong effort pressing solid pace while three wide; good effort from Solomini in return, though traffic trouble is being overstated.
G2 Azeri S
1/2 122
3/4 125
Fin 119
Top 3: Martini Glass 120, Actress 115, Farrell 118
Note: Second straight graded stakes win for mare that was claimed out of debut for only $16k - over $800k in career earnings; matched best lifetime TimeformUS Speed Figure.
Turfway
G3 Jeff Ruby Steaks
1/2 119
3/4 116
Fin 107
Top 3: Blended Citizen 107, Pony Up 106, Arawak 105
Note: Race offered points toward the Kentucky Derby but unlikely any of these horses will have an impact in that race; timing issue apparent when final time was posted before the horses hit the wire, race listed as hand timed in the official chart.
G3 DRF Bets Bourbonette Oaks
1/2 116
3/4 108
Fin 101
Top 3: Go Noni Go 102, In the Mood 101, Homemade Salsa 98
Note: First start on synthetic surface for winner, prior two wins on grass; versatile horse has won on the lead sprinting and closing in routes.
Gulfstream
G2 Inside Information S
1/4 104
1/2 99
Fin 112
Top 3: Ivy Bell 107, Jordan’s Henny 106, Mines and Magic 105
Note: Very slow pace probably a factor in well-below-par TimeformUS Speed Figures; winner has finished in the top two in 11 of 16 lifetime starts.
