00:00The Fastest Horse of the Week brought to you by the Fast Stallions at Windstar Farm.

00:06Like this sire, who at one point was named a TDN Rising Star after he won at Saratoga.

00:12By 11 and a half lengths, we'll identify that stallion at Windstar shortly.

00:18But first, Fastest Horse of the Week from Rural Police, Dr. Schivel, who won the allowance

00:23race on Saturday right before the San Luis Rey at San Anita.

00:27It was only a three-horse field, five-hundred scratch down to three, but Dr. Schivel outran

00:32a pretty nice old pro in CZ Rocket, went essentially wire-to-wire, and earned a fire speed figure

00:37of 105.

00:40It was the first start for Dr. Schivel since he ran in Maidan in the Dubai Golden Shaheen

00:48of 2022, not 2023.

00:51He finished pretty good in that race.

00:53He finished third.

00:54Remember earlier in the Breeders' Cup sprint before that, he was beating just a nose in

00:59the sprint.

01:00So, a very, very talented sprinter.

01:03He was out because of bone bruising, but he bounced back in a big way to earn the Fastest

01:08Horse of the Week mantle with that 105 fire figure.

01:12We'll see where they wind up running Dr. Schivel next.

01:15Now, that Kentucky bred that we were talking about standing stud at Windstar Farm happens

01:22to be Nashville.

01:23Nashville would live up to that rising star tag by dominating the field of Keeneland in

01:28an allowance race in the second start.

01:31He ran the fastest six furlongs of the 2020 Keeneland meet.

01:35That was the COVID meet.

01:36He won a race at Oakland also in 108.61 for six furlongs, which was the fastest time at

01:42that track in two years.

01:43And remember that race on the Breeders' Cup undercard?

01:46It was a full second faster at six furlongs than the Breeders' Cup sprint wound up being

01:52run in.

01:53It's Nashville.

01:54Speed, speed, speed.

01:56Standing at Windstar for a fee of $15,000.
