Three maidens made this week's list with an 85 Beyer Speed Figure–Yo' Lion and Ember Royale won their races carrying 122 pounds to tie for third, while Dontworryboutnothn finished second.5-DONTWORRYBOUTNOTHN, CD, 9/25-4th, 6f (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-85 (2nd)(g, 4, Munnings–Guilty Verdict, by Medaglia d'Oro)O/T- David Jacobson. B-Theta Holdings 1 (Ky). J-Yedsit Hazlewood.He remains a maiden after seven starts, but this runner-up finish in a $100,000 claimer represents a career-best Beyer by nine points. Jacobson claimed the $260,000 Saratoga yearling for $50,000 in May, and any success by Dontworryboutnothn would come at a good time for 15-year-old dam Guilty Verdict. Despite being out of two-time Grade I winner Smuggler, who was out of Hall of Famer Inside Information, she was 0-for-9 on the track and has such a shaky produce record that in January she sold for $6,000 via a digital sale.3 (tie)-YO' LION, LAD, 9/23-4th, 5 1/2fBeyer Speed Figure-85(g, 2, Yockey's Warrior–Lion Queen, by Lion Heart)O-Perry Day. B-Perry Day and Joey Foster (La). T-Joey Foster. J-Rey Williams.As the 6.90-to-1 fourth choice in a six-horse field, Yo' Lion was hardly a “good thing” in his debut. His sire stands for $1,000 and his dam's previous three foals to race were 0-for-25 with only two top-three finishes. Yet the gelding looked awfully good sprinting quickly to the front then dashing away to a 5 3/4-length victory.3 (tie)-EMBER ROYALE, SA, 9/26-6th, 6f (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-85(f, 2, Halladay–Hotazel, by Unbridled's Song)O-Rusty Brown. B-Woodbridge Farm & Lilley Ranch (Cal). T-Jeff Bonde. J-Armando Aguilar.Her California-bred competition wasn't ready for what the speed brought in her debut: she streaked six lengths clear with a half in :44.27 despite a so-so break, then kept trucking to a 17 1/2-length runaway. Her dam and second dam were unraced, but second dam Fiery Pegasus was a half-sister to top-level sprinters Unbridled Sidney and Caller One. Halladay–a Grade I turf miler–has yet to sire a stakes winner, but this looks like his best chance to date.2-DEUCARI, SA, 9/25-1st, 6fT (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-90(c, 3, Collected–Rachel Wall, by Blame)O-Sayjay Racing. B-Brereton C. Jones (Ky). T-Richard Baltas. J-Drayden Van Dyke.Coming off a 92 Beyer on dirt, Bob Baffert-trained Smashing Machine was a 2-5 favorite in the first race of the fall Santa Anita meet–and instead it was this 11-1 first-timer who dominated four rivals from just off the pace. Collected himself never ran on turf–he was too fast on dirt–yet has become a solid grass sire, as his pedigree suggested (by City Zip out of a British-bred Johannesburg mare).1-NATIVE BREW, CD, 9/25-4th, 6f (VIDEO)Beyer Speed Figure-93(c, 3, Yaupon–Spanxamillion, by Street Cry {Ire})O-My Racehorse. B-H. Allen Poindexter (Ky). T-Steve Asmussen. J-Axel Concepcion.In one of the year's fastest maiden claimers, Native Brew parlayed a rail-pocket trip into a sharp 3 3/4-length win for a $100,000 tag, coming through inside pacesetter Dontworryboutnothn (above) around the turn. It was a big figure improvement for both, who came out of an Aug. 15 maiden race at Ellis Park in which Dontworryboutnothin finished third and Native Brew fourth behind Campobasso, a 3-5 Baffert favorite who has since recorded two “bullet” workouts at Churchill Downs.The post Five Fastest Maidens for the Week of Sept. 21-27 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
