00:00This week, our Fastest Horse of the Week segment is being brought to you by Audible, one of

00:04those fast sires at Windstar Farm.

00:06As a three-year-old, Audible hit the board in all five of his starts, and those were

00:10all stakes races.

00:12He won three of them, including the Florida Derby and the Holy Bull, and ran third in

00:16the Kentucky Derby.

00:17And Audible's Holy Bull time of 141.92 for a mile on his 16th was the fastest in that

00:22race since 2013.

00:24And now Audible is off to a great start at stud.

00:28He's the leading second crop sire by earnings, by black-type winners, by graded stakes winners,

00:34by graded stakes horses, and by winners.

00:36And best of all, you can get all that for just $15,000 at Windstar Farm.

00:44Now for the Fastest Horse of the Week, I appreciate it very much that Bill didn't spoil it.

00:48It is Sweet Azteca with her 103 buyer speed figure and that B. Wayne Hughes Beholder mile.

00:54That ranks as the fastest buyer by any female racehorse thus far in 2024.

01:01And by the way, I'm very proud of my filly Adair Manor for her gallant effort in defeat.

01:07She ran the race of her life in the Beholder mile and still couldn't beat Sweet Azteca.

01:14One note here, Sweet Azteca, owned by Pamela Zybarth, she traces back to that family's

01:20sensational broodmare, Seas Tizzy, who was Sweet Azteca's fourth dam.

01:25Seas, or Seas Song, rather.

01:27Seas Song, who was Sweet Azteca's fourth dam.

01:30Seas Song produced Tis Now, produced Bud Royale.

01:33The full sister of Tis Now was called Tis Sweet.

01:37That's Sweet Azteca's third dam.

01:39So it's a big family affair.

01:42All those big horses, Seas Song, Tis Now, Tis Sweet, Bud Royale, were all bred by Pamela Zybarth's mother,

01:48the late Cecilia Straub-Rubin.

01:50So congratulations to Pamela Zybarth and to Sweet Azteca, this week's fastest horse of the week.
