Sorry but everything in racing cannot be reduced to a speed figure, and who's to say what helped SBD bounce back so quickly from her Belmont.

The fact is that SBD had more time between her race in the (shorter, easier) Monmouth Oaks and the Alabama than Sky Beauty did between the (longer, tougher) CCA Oaks and her Alabama.
