00:00The fastest horse of the week brought to you by the fast stallions at Windstar Farm.

00:04We'll get to the horse in a minute. We've already talked about him actually.

00:07But the stallion that we're focusing on this week from Windstar we have before.

00:12Here's a reminder. Nashville was a very, very fast racehorse.

00:17Nashville was a TD and rising star, winning his debut by 11.5 lengths

00:23and dominated a Keeneland allowance in his second start.

00:27That was by 9 plus lengths and 109.10.

00:31And remember the track record at Keeneland on the Breeders' Cup undercard.

00:36Six furlongs, 107.89, faster than the Breeders' Cup sprint.

00:41Then he came back and ran the fastest six furlongs at the fairgrounds later in his career.

00:46Nashville, very fast, standing stud at Windstar Farm.

00:50Now, our fastest horse of the week, Prince of Monaco with that 103 buyer speed figure.

00:58So I went back into the record books, guys.

01:01Since the buyer speed figures were first published officially in 1992,

01:07the best pal marks the 36th time that a Bob Baffert-trained two-year-old

01:14has equaled 100 or better on the buyer speed figure scale.

01:19How about that? 36.

01:21Now, the only question becomes, will Prince of Monaco become a classic type horse

01:28like some of the others on that list?

01:30American Pharoah, Point Given, Real Quiet, Silver Bullet Day,

01:36or will he be more like Inexcessive Bull or Das Stoops or Hijazi?

01:44That's the big question that still remains to be answered about our fastest horse of the week.

01:50But boy, was he fast and the best pal, Prince of Monaco.
