00:00The TD and Writers Room also brought to you by the Fast Sires at Windstar Farm, the sponsor
00:05every week of our Fastest Horse of the Week segment.
00:08We have a nice little segue here.
00:10This week the sire we're going to talk about happens to be Always Dreaming.
00:14Two-time Derby winner, Florida Derby and Kentucky Derby, he won the Florida Derby by five lengths
00:19if you recall, in the fastest time of the race since Aladar, and won it in 1978.
00:24Always Dreaming ran that nine furlongs in 147.47.
00:29Less than three-quarters of a second off of Arrogate's track record.
00:32And then of course he went on to Kentucky, son of the underrated Bodie Meister.
00:36He wins the Kentucky Derby as the nine-to-two favorite over Irish War Cry and McCracken
00:42in Classic Empire.
00:43He won it by over two and three-quarters lengths with Johnny Velasquez.
00:46He stands at stud at Windstar Farm for $5,000, and his best son happens to be our Fastest
00:56Horse of the Week.
00:57Saudi Crown, Pennsylvania Derby winner who came back in the Louisiana States at the fairgrounds
01:02on the LeCompte Undercard, is prepped for the Saudi Cup.
01:07His next start penciled in as he is owned by Saudi Arabian owner, Saudi Crown went wire
01:12to wire in the Louisiana States for a buyer's speed figure of 105, just a titch below his
01:19lifetime best of 106.
01:22Saudi Crown, son of Always Dreaming, that is our Fastest Horse of the Week.
01:26And our Spotlight Siren.
