00:00Spicetown, Bunnings, Echotown.

00:10It's Echotown for Jotalimo and Echotown races away.

00:15And Echotown is drawing away in the stretch.

00:18Echotown wins the Allenturken Stakes.

00:21A sire line so prolific it repeats itself.

00:25Echotown.

00:30It's time for the Coolmore Stallion of the Week.

00:32And this week, that is Echotown.

00:34Echotown's first two-year-olds went on sale two weeks ago at OBS March.

00:38From a $5,000 stud fee, they sold for fees of $130,000, $120,000, and $110,000.

00:44And why not?

00:45He was a grade-one winning sprinter by Spicetown

00:48and a half-brother to the champion two-year-old filly, Echo Zulu.

00:52Zoe, you saw the Echotowns at OBS.

00:54What did you think of them?

00:55I like them.

00:56In fact, I'm going to, like, do a little plug right now

00:59because the team of TMZ, Tesha, Marrette Farrell, and myself,

01:05we call ourselves TMZ, or except at the end of the sale, which is too much Zoe,

01:09we bought one at the end of the Keeneland sale for $17,000.

01:13He's in training down in Ocala with Nellie Breeden,

01:17a.k.a. Gladwell, on their farm,

01:19and we're actually pointing him to the OBS June sale.

01:22I think they're going to need a little bit more time,

01:24which is why he's going to go to the June sale.

01:26But I've really liked what I've seen from them.

01:28They're good movers.

01:29They look like they can go two turns.

01:32They're not actual sprinter.

01:34They don't have a sprinter-type body, or at least ours doesn't.

01:38So I'm really excited.

01:39And, you know, he's a half-to-champion.

01:41He's a grade-one winner.

01:43His half-sister is a multiple grade-one winner.

01:45She should have won the Breeders' Cup sprint.

01:48And I'm very, very excited for ours going to OBS June.

01:53So a quick plug for you.

01:55Echo Town stands at Coolmore for just $5,000.
