00:00And now it's time for the fastest horse of the week brought to you by the fast stallions at Windstar Farm.
00:07Such as the stallion that Elliot Walden once said was one of the fastest horses he ever had.
00:13Which stallion was that? First, the fastest horse of the week.
00:17And for the second straight week, that horse comes from Laurel Park in last Saturday's Harrison E. Johnson Memorial.
00:24Nimitz Class sailed to a six and a half length victory and earned a 103 buyer speed figure in the process.
00:31It was the third straight stakes win at Laurel and the second straight triple digit buyer for the four year old son of Munnings owned and bred by Tom Poulter.
00:39Nimitz Class was such a troublemaker as a youngster that the farm nicknamed him Bad Chad.
00:46But now he has straightened out to the tune of eight wins from 14 lifetime starts.
00:51A TDN podcast salute to our fastest horse of the week, Nimitz Class.
00:57Now what about that fast sire at Windstar?
01:00As a three year old in 2020, Nashville blew up the charts with a bullet by winning his first three starts by a combined 24 and three quarters lengths.
01:10The third of which was the Perryville six on the Breeders' Cup undercard in which he set a Keeneland track record for six furlongs.
01:17107.89, that still stands.
01:21Not only does it still stand, it would have won the last two Breeders' Cup sprints by a wide margin.
01:28If speed is key, then Nashville has plenty to share in the Inters' first season at stud at Windstar for a fee of $15,000.
