00:00The fastest horse of the week this week is going to be pretty interesting to a lot of
00:04people.
00:05And as always, it's brought to you by this time, one of the new fast sires at Windstar
00:10Farm, and that would be Heartland, brand new for 2025 in the Stallion Barn at Windstar.
00:16He has a champion's pedigree.
00:17Heartland is by Justify, and he's out of the dam of former two-year-old champion Classic
00:22Empire.
00:23He was also a TD and rising star back in the day when he scored a very impressive debut
00:29win at Del Mar going five and a half furlongs.
00:32That was faster by the speed figures, Heartland's debut win, than any other two-year-old at
00:37Saratoga or Del Mar that summer.
00:39He got a 90-buyer speed figure, which ties in with Just Steel for the fastest of any
00:46of the Justify two-year-olds, or at least that year.
00:49He's the second-fastest Justify two-year-old ever behind only Arabian Lion.
00:55And Heartland will stand at Windstar for a fee of only $10,000, and as they like to
01:01say at Windstar, breeding to Heartland is Justifiable.
01:06Now for the fastest horse of the week, he ran at Santa Anita.
01:11He ran in the first race on Saturday, and he ran the fastest buyer speed figure of any
01:17horse this year in Southern California.
01:20His name is Accuracy, and he won a maiden race at a mile and a sixteenth at Santa Anita
01:27by 15 lengths with a buyer speed figure of 108.
01:32Owned by Mike Rapolle, trained by Mike McCarthy, went to the lead, opened up, drew off at will.
01:38Now the racetrack was playing very strongly, appeared to be on paper in favor of inside
01:44speed, but how good might Accuracy be with that 108 buyer speed figure?
01:51He is, or she rather, I say he, it's a she, it's a three-year-old filly, okay?
01:57And Accuracy is a daughter of Arrogate, out of a mare named Bickerson's, who once upon
02:01a time ran for Kelly Breen in New Jersey and New York, and actually competed in the Breeders'
02:07Cup juvenile fillies.
02:09So there's some pedigree there as well for Accuracy, the three-year-old filly that is
02:13our fastest horse of the week.
