Two Chinooks are on the board this season, and the pace-setter is Maple Lane Jager at 19.66 mph (10.40 seconds over 100 yards), chasing last year's 25.41 mph best, narrowly ahead of Platform's Nightbus Conductor (0.22 mph). That top speed makes the Chinook the 232nd-fastest of 251 breeds in 2026. The top 2 average 19.6 mph. Nothing's settled until the season closes.
