00:00Today on the TDN Writer's Room, we debut a new segment,

00:04the fastest horse of the week,

00:06brought to you by the Fast Stallions at Windstar Farm.

00:09Typically, it will be the horse

00:10with the highest buyer speed figure of the previous week,

00:13but before we reveal who last week's winner was,

00:17let's hear from one of the Fast Sires at Windstar.

00:20Which Windstar Stallion won the grade one Woodward

00:23as a four-year-old, just like his sire Curlin,

00:25going wire to wire and earning a 104 buyer?

00:28And won the Peter Pan stakes and won 46.71,

00:32the second-fastest nine-furlong Peter Pan ever.

00:35Won six of 10 stakes, including three graded stakes,

00:38earning four triple-digit buyers.

00:41Well, it's Bolt Dorough's half-brother, Global Campaign.

00:46That's an awful lot of fast for just $10,000 at Windstar.

00:52And now the fastest horse of the week.

00:54Yes, Art Collector earned a buyer of 107

00:57in the Pegasus World Cup,

00:58but a little more than two hours before that,

01:01and 1,200 miles north of Gulfstream,

01:04five-year-old gelding Repo Rocks

01:07turned in the week's fastest performance by the numbers,

01:10earning a 111 buyer speed figure

01:13for his eight-and-a-half length victory

01:15in the seven-furlong grade three Toboggan stakes at Aqueduct.

01:20It was a fantastic performance for Repo Rocks,

01:23who is now three for three since owner Stephen Fox

01:26transferred him last November

01:28to Parks Racing's leading trainer, Jamie Ness.

01:32The Toboggan was not only Repo Rocks' fastest race by far,

01:36the Toboggan was his first stakes win

01:39in the 32nd race of his career.

01:42It was also the first graded win for jockey Andrew Wolfson,

01:46who has now transferred his stack

01:47from Penn National to Parks Racing.

01:50And that 111 buyer for Repo Rocks

01:53is the fastest earned by any horse thus far in 2023.
