00:00This week's Fastest Horse of the Week brought to you by Timberlake, one of

00:04those fast sires at Windstar Farm. We know how good Into Mischief is, we know

00:09how good the sons of Into Mischief are, but Timberlake is the only son of Into

00:13Mischief that you can say these three things about. Timberlake was a TD and

00:19Rising Star, one. He had a grade one win as a two-year-old, two. And he also had a

00:24graded stakes win in his three-year-old debut. Timberlake also, if you want to

00:30throw a fourth thing in there, was a TD and Silver Value Sire. He stands for just

00:35$20,000 at Windstar Farm. Now our Fastest Horse of the Week, we alluded to him a

00:42minute ago, Skippy Longstocking, who won the Challenger Stakes on the Tampa Bay

00:47Derby Undercard for a third consecutive year. He's a remarkable horse, Skippy is.

00:52They only paid $37,000 for him at Ocala as a two-year-old. He's now knocked out

00:56three and a half million dollars. He's yet to win a grade one. He's 0 for 10 in

01:00grade one competition, but he has eight grade two or grade three stakes wins,

01:05such as the Challenger. On Saturday, he beat Most Wanted, an up-and-coming horse

01:09in the Brad Cox stable in the older horse division. Nice win for Skippy

01:13Longstocking. Fire speed figure, the Best of the Week, 103.
