Last year as a 2yo he ran faster than she did on the same card, in the very next race after hers.

Quote:
American Pharoah left his rivals during the fourth quarter of the race, when he threw a 23.93-second split at them with Espinoza doing no more than just waving the stick in front of American Pharoah’s right eye. He continued powerfully to the finish to complete 1 1/16 miles on the fast main track in 1:41.95, earning a gaudy Beyer Speed Figure of 101.

The final time compared well with the other 1 1/16-mile, Grade 1 stakes on the card. One race earlier, two-time Breeders’ Cup winner Beholder was timed in 1:42.19 for her victory in the Zenyatta Stakes.

Obviously a lot has changed since then but something to think about.
