00:00Normally for this podcast, we bring you the fastest horse of the week based on the top buyer speed figure of the week.
00:06But now we're doing the year in podcast.
00:08So it will be the fastest horse of the year brought to you as always by the fast sires at Windstar Farm.
00:15And in 2026, those Windstar sires will include three new recruits, each of whom have a top career buyer speed figure of over 100.
00:25First of all, 107 was the top buyer speed figure for Straight No Chaser.
00:31Last year, 2024's Champion Sprinter, who won the Breeders' Cup Sprint, he'll stand at Windstar for $10,000.
00:37He had four career buyer speed figures of triple digits.
00:42Next, with a career buyer of 106, Mulliken, who won the Grade 1 Forgo Stakes, also the Grade 2 John Nayrud Stakes.
00:51He also had buyers of 105, 104, and 102.
00:54He'll stand for $10,000 at Windstar.
00:57He's a son of violence.
00:58And then, last but certainly not least, Patch Adams, the impeccably well-bred son of Into Mischief, a multiple Grade 1 winner.
01:06With a career-high buyer speed figure of 103, Patch Adams will stand at Windstar for a fee of $30,000.
01:14And now, the fastest horse of the year.
01:17Go back to the Traverse Stakes at Saratoga.
01:20The 10-length victory by Derby and Belmont winners.
01:23Sovereignty earned a buyer speed figure of 115, which is not only the fastest buyer speed figure of 2025.
01:32It's also the fastest buyer speed figure of the last seven years by any horse not named, Flightline.
01:42That's how good Sovereignty was as a three-year-old this year, and hopefully we'll see him next year.
