00:00The Fastest Horse of the Week brought to you by Nashville, one of those fast sires at Winstar Farm.
00:06Nashville, the Keeneland's six-furlong track record holder, had his first yearling sell and sell well at Fasig Tipton July.
00:15This was Hip 80, the Colt out of Lil V, who sold to Ben Gowen's agent for $200,000.
00:23And Hip 6, a Philly out of Pure Wow, sold for $140,000 to back ring bloodstock.
00:33And, of course, Nashville will have more first crop yearlings on offer coming up at Saratoga.
00:38So, this week's Fastest Horse of the Week is a Chad Brown combo platter.
00:42Two Brown trainees recorded buyer speed figures of 102, both on Saturday at Saratoga in the Diana.
00:50Yeah, Excellent Truth edged She Feels Pretty, the favorite after a spirited stretch battle to give Brown a tenth victory in that grade one stakes.
00:59Excellent Truth had previously run twice in the U.S. since being purchased by Resolute Racing's Jon Stewart.
01:07She was second, a close second, in both the Ginny Wiley and the Just a Game.
01:13The other 102 came four races earlier Saturday.
01:17Malarchuk won a mile and an eighth allowance on dirt.
01:21Malarchuk has now won two straight at Saratoga, the first by DQ, with buyer speed figures of 101 and now 102.
