00:00So, the top three all-time leading earners bred in North America.

00:07Should be an easy question, right?

00:09Number one, Arrogate.

00:10Number two, Gunrunner.

00:11How about number three?

00:13Well, this week's Fastest Horse of the Week is brought to you by number three, Country

00:18Grammar, one of those fast sires at Windstar Farm.

00:22Country Grammar made $14.9 million.

00:25Nowadays you don't get to those numbers with that international success.

00:28$7 million of that from his two second-place finishes in the $20 million Saudi Cup.

00:33And oh, by the way, he also won the $12 million Dubai World Cup for another $6.9 million.

00:40That's how you get to the really big bucks.

00:43And Country Grammar also had enough precociousness to be a $450,000 two-year-old purchase and

00:49also break his maiden as a two-year-old in New York.

00:53And now he's in his second career as a stallion.

00:56Country Grammar standing at Windstar Farm for a bargain fee currently set at just $10,000.

01:03Now the Fastest Horse of this week, a five-year-old gelding you may not be familiar with, Win

01:13Had a mile and a sixteenth on the turf, winning by nearly seven lengths with a buyer speed

01:17figure of 102.

01:19It was the first stakes score for Win for the Money, who was owned by Charlotte Webber's

01:25Live Oak Plantation.

01:26Trained by Mark Cassie, bred by Ken Ramsey and his late wife Catherine, Ramsey shrewdly

01:30bought the dam of Win for the Money, Mayakoba, at auction for just $3,000 following her racing

01:37career.

01:38Mayakoba, the dam, could now run the three of us, but Ramsey liked her pedigree.

01:43Mayakoba's third dam is Terlingua.

01:46If you aren't familiar with Terlingua, look her up.
