Kentucky Derby BRIS Speed Rating Report: Withers Stakes
February 7th, 2018
His numbers remain eligible to keep increasing, but Avery Island has lacked a punch in the stretch of his last two starts at 1 1/8 miles.
Firenze Fire’s BRIS Speed rating dropped to a 92 and the Withers reinforced the idea he’s better at one-turn distances. A three-time graded winner at one turn, the son of Grade 1-winning sprinter Poseidon’s Warrior has dropped both two-turn attempts.
Marconi, a Tapit colt making his first start against winners after a maiden tally, was spotting plenty of seasoning to the top two finishers and understandably got a little tired in the latter stages. He’s eligible to show more next time for Todd Pletcher.
Here are the top BRIS Speed ratings so far in the Road to the Kentucky Derby series (90 and above):
