Lovesick Blues gave his trainer Librado Barocio his first career Grade I victory in the Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar and was also this week's Fastest Horse of the week, earning a 105 Beyer Speed Figure. The Fastest Horse of the week is brought to you by WinStar Farm.
00:00Now it's time for the fastest horse of the week. This week brought to you by Heartland, one of the fast sires at Windstar Farm. We're taping this podcast on July 29th. It was exactly one year ago today as we taped this that Heartland ran at Del Mar going five and a half furlongs in 103.20.
00:20That was his second lifetime start. He earned a buyer's speed figure of 90 in that race, which makes him the second fastest two-year-old ever by the stallion Justify.
00:31He's also a half-brother to former two-year-old champion Classic Empire. You can look for Heartland's first foals next spring.
00:41Now the fastest horse of the week, and you'll be hearing more about this horse, a little teaser coming up a little bit later on this podcast,
00:47where trainer Labrado Brascio will be our guest of the week. He saddled Lovesick Blues to a win last Saturday at Del Mar in the Bing Crosby.
00:57At odds of 18-1, Lovesick Blues ran down a talented Baffert horse that we'll be talking about, Hijazi, to win.
01:05In his 41st lifetime start and his first win on dirt in more than two years, buyer's speed figure 105 for Lovesick Blues, making him our fastest horse of the week.
