00:00The Fastest Horse of the Week is brought to you, as always, by the fast stallions of Windstar

00:06Farm.

00:07And this week, I think it's happened once before, it's actually the fastest horses of

00:12the week.

00:13Yes, we have two that tied with the top buyer speed figure of the week.

00:17And even more unusual is that both came from the same car.

00:22It was Laurel Hart on Saturday on a muddy racetrack.

00:26We started off in race four, where the Pennsylvania bred Nimitz Class scored a very impressive

00:33two and three quarters length victory in the native Dancer's Stakes at a mile and an eighth.

00:37Nimitz Class was the one to five favorite earned a buyer speed figure of 99.

00:45Later in the afternoon, because it was a wet day, the King Leatherberry Stakes was taken

00:50off of the turf.

00:52And the winner of that five and a half furlong sprint in the muddy dirt was Stage Left, who

00:58scores by two and a quarter lengths.

00:59He was the two to one second favorite in the King Leatherberry, and Stage Left also earned

01:05a buyer speed figure of 99.

01:08So Nimitz Class and Stage Left, the co-fastest horses of the week.

01:13Now, for that fast sire at Windstar, they don't come much faster than N2 Mischief's

01:18fastest son, Life is Good.

01:21He was, of course, a three time grade one winner last year.

01:25Effortless winner of the Woodward, uncontested winner of the Whitney, dominant winner of

01:30the Pegasus World Cup over the previous year's horse of the year, Nick's Go.

01:35Also, he won the one million dollar Breeders' Cup dirt mile by five and three quarters lengths,

01:40which was the largest margin of victory at the 21 Breeders' Cup.

01:45And with a one twelve buyer speed figure, he still rates as N2 Mischief's fastest son

01:51on the numbers, earning nine triple digit buyers.

01:55TDN Rising Star in his career debut, Life is Good stands at Windstar for a fee of $100,000.
