00:00And now for the fastest horse of the week, brought to you this week by Constitution,

00:05one of the fast sires at Windstar Farm.

00:08We like to call him America's sire.

00:10Get it?

00:11America?

00:12Constitution?

00:13It all kind of fits together nicely.

00:14Constitution, by the way, when you look at the leading sire list of 2024 is all over

00:18the place.

00:19He's the third leading general sire behind only Into Mischief and the aforementioned

00:25Gunrunner.

00:26He's the second leading sire of two year olds and three year olds, and he's the second

00:30leading turf sire.

00:32On Monday, he was also represented by a one million dollar yearling in the first session

00:36of Keeneland September.

00:38And you can find your Constitution coming up at the rest of the Keeneland September

00:43sale.

00:44Now, the fastest horse of the week ran Saturday at Kentucky Downs.

00:49For my money, the best performance we've seen so far at Kentucky Downs, and we've seen a

00:53lot of good ones.

00:54And that would be Cogburn, who continued his turf sprint tour de force with a three

00:59and a quarter length win in the turf sprint at six and a half furlongs.

01:05To win any turf sprint by three and a quarter lengths, you really got to be moving.

01:09And Cogburn ran a one oh seven buyer speed figure in that race to go along with his two

01:14most recent figs of one eleven and one oh seven.

01:18He's clearly the early leader right now for the Breeders Cup turf sprint.

01:23And by the way, in winning that race at Kentucky Downs, Cogburn avenged his only previous turf

01:29defeat, which was in this very race last year in which he finished fifth.

01:34Cogburn now six for seven lifetime on the grass, and he is this week's fastest horse

01:39of the week.
