00:00This week's Fastest Horse of the Week is brought to you by none other than a really fast horse.
00:08Life is Good, one of those fast sires at Windstar Farm.
00:12And Into Mischief's fastest son, by the way.
00:15And seeing what we've seen from Into Mischief as a stallion, that says an awful lot.
00:19Breeders are eagerly anticipating Life is Good's first winglings this fall,
00:23especially after his first in-fold mares brought up to $1.2 million at the mixed sales last fall.
00:31Because of Life is Good and what we saw on the racetrack, his progeny expected to be fast.
00:36They're expected to be precocious.
00:38And after all, Life is Good was a debut two-year-old winner by over nine lengths, TD and Rising Star,
00:45and of course went on to earn nine triple-digit buyer speed figures and three grade one stakes.
00:51Life is Good standing at Windstar Farm.
00:54And this week's Fastest Horse of the Week comes out of the Island stakes at Monmouth on Saturday.
00:58Subsanador, shipped from his West Coast base by trainer Richard Mandela.
01:03Not only that, he brought Mike Smith with him.
01:06And Subsanador wins the Island by a length and a half over Il Morocco.
01:09You think, okay, a length and a half, not that big of a deal.
01:12Fifteen lengths back to the third-place finisher in the Island.
01:16Subsanador gets a buyer speed figure of 102, which tops the week.
01:20And perhaps I think the biggest storyline out of the Island, not just the performance by Subsanador,
01:26but the fact that it's the first United States graded stakes win for the Wafnan stable of the Emir of Qatar,
01:35Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who's been buying up seemingly everything that's for sale in Europe.
01:43He was pointing for the Royal Escort meet with a lot of horses that he bought right on top of the meeting.
01:48He's trying to make an impact in the United States as well.
01:51And Subsanador is Wafnan Racing's very first graded stakes winner in North America, the fastest horse of the week.
