00:00Five Fastest Maidens is brought to you by TaylorMade.
00:03This week's list includes the top three finishers from a Sunday race at Saratoga.
00:08But Fast Maiden No. 5 ran Saturday at the Spa.
00:11Two-year-old Curtin Call, a son of Tisdala, owned by our sponsor, West Point Thoroughbreds, trained by Mark Cassie.
00:16Buyer speed figure, 82. He won by 8.5.
00:19No. 4 finished a well-beaten third in that aforementioned Sunday Saratoga opener, yet still got a buyer of 82.
00:25That would be Sturdy, a son of Mottoli, bred by hockey star Eric Johnston.
00:29And sold by TaylorMade.
00:31Sturdy, even though he's by Mottoli, looks like he's just getting warmed up at a mile and an eight.
00:35Big nine-length debut win at Woodbine Sunday from three-year-old Runaway again.
00:41Lends him at No. 3 with a buyer of 83, owned and bred by Frank Stronick, son of hard-spun, as damn as a half-sister to Awesome Again and Macho Uno.
00:50For No. 2, we go back to that fast Saratoga race where the runner-up was Chillax with an 87 buyer running for that familiar combo.
00:58Owner-breeder Godolphin, trainer Bill Mott, and jockey junior Alvarado.
01:02It's obviously no secret who gets top billing this week, but first, this word from TaylorMade.
01:07And Dr. Scheibel victorious in the run-happy Delmar Futurity.
01:11Dr. Chevelle coming over in a driving finish.
01:14What an effort out of Dr. Chevelle.
01:16Dr. Chevelle has taken the lead.
01:18Here's the line.
01:19Dr. Chevelle.
01:20And this week's Fastest Maiden was the front-running winner of Sunday's first at Saratoga, Classicist.
01:29Beautifully bed three-year-old, owned by Vinny and Teresa Viola's St. Elias Stables, trained by Todd Pletcher, and he was ridden by Irad Ortiz.
01:37Viola bought Classicist's dam, Playmate, from the late Denny Phipps about a decade ago for one obvious reason.
01:44Playmate is out of the Phipps champion storm flag flying, thus her third dam is my flag, and her fourth dam is Hall of Famer personal insight.
