Kentucky Derby BRIS Speed Rating Report: Jerome Stakes
January 22nd, 2018
From the first crop of Grade 1-winning sprinter Poseidon’s Warrior, the Florida-bred failed to make an impact when finishing seventh in his lone two-turn attempt, the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1).
Firenze Fire registered a 94 BRIS Speed rating in the one-mile Jerome. That number may be a little suspect over a drying-out track that was playing extremely slow, but he’s never received a BRIS Speed rating higher than 96 from six career starts.
The Jason Servis trainee does have 20 points toward a Kentucky Derby berth, also earning 10 for an excellent victory over Good Magic in the Champagne (G1). And Firenze Fire could theoretically avoid a two-turn race before the first Saturday in May. He’s pointing toward the March 10 Gotham (G3), which offers 50 to the winner at a one-turn mile, and will have the option to avoid the final round of prep races with a victory.
