Rated By Merit earned the highest Brisnet speed rating among last week’s stakes winners. The Florida-bred son of Battalion Runner, trained by Michael Yates, earned it in his 3 3/4-length romp in the seven-furlong FTBOA Florida Sire Affirmed Stakes on Saturday at Gulfstream Park.

The victory extended Rated By Merit’s record to three wins in three starts. It also earned him a 99 Beyer Speed Figure, joint fastest of the week. A 99 is also the fastest Beyer earned by a 2-year-old so far this year.

The other horse to earn a 99 Beyer this week was 3-year-old Brunacini, the upset winner of the seven-furlong Perryville (G3) at Keeneland. The son of Dortmund, trained by Matt Sims, earned a 100 Brisnet Speed Rating for his neck victory over Book’em Danno. That was the second-highest Brisnet figure of the week.
