00:00The fastest horse of the week brought to you by the Fast Stallions at Windstar Farm.
00:04This week's spotlighted stallion, Life is Good.
00:07One of the sheer speediest horses we've seen in recent years.
00:11Three career losses.
00:13His first loss was in the Alan Jerkins at Saratoga when he was beaten by Jackie's Warrior.
00:18The echo based comment in that race was overconfident handling.
00:22His only other two losses were when they sent him to Dubai for the Dubai World Cup over
00:26a very deep Maidan surface at a mile and a quarter.
00:29And then the Breeders' Cup Classic, the final race in his career when he took it to flight
00:33line early.
00:34Threw six furlongs in 1.09.1.
00:37He earned a 112 buyer speed figure in the Jan Nehru, that's the most ever by a son of
00:42into mischief.
00:43Nine triple digit buyers in all.
00:45His first book of mares, 192 mares he bred, including 70 graded stakes winners or graded
00:51stakes producers.
00:53So we'll be looking forward to seeing Life is Good's first foals hit the ground next
00:58year.
00:59Now, the fastest horse of the week ran on Saturday at Woodbine, War Bomber, the winner
01:05of the King Edward Stakes with the buyer speed figure of 99.
01:10Talk about a good family.
01:12War Bombers by War Front out of the Danzig mare, believe it or not, 22 year old Son Shower.
01:18This happens to be a half brother to X Celebration, a former Coolmore Group One Stakes winner
01:25who had the distinction of running second or third five times behind Frankel.
01:30He won almost all his other starts and a half brother to Lancaster Bomber, another Coolmore
01:35horse who was second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf and second in the Breeders'
01:39Cup Mile.
01:40War Bomber, believe it or not, claimed early in his career after he was gelded for $25,000,
01:46hadn't shown much before then, by Cromit, a Canadian owner, Bruno Shickadance, trainer
01:50Norm McKnight.
01:51Obviously, the horse now has lived up to his pedigree.
01:54War Bomber expected to run next in the Woodbine Mile, a race in which he finished ninth one
02:01year ago.
02:02That's the fastest horse of the week, War Bomber from the King Edward at Woodbine.
