Only two runners were able to earn a triple-digit BRIS Speed rating in a stakes contest from April 23-29. Pat on the Back succeeded at Belmont Park on April 26 when taking the Affirmed Success Stakes by 1 1/4 lengths, good for a career- and week-topping 107 figure.
Dual Grade 1 queen Paradise Woods romped in her third start of the season on April 27, dominating the Santa Margarita Stakes (G2) by 10 1/2 lengths at Santa Anita Park. That saw the five-year-old mare take home a 105 BRIS Speed rating.
