thoroughbreddailynews

Can you guess the fastest horse of 2025? Answer: Sovereignty, who earned a 115 Beyer Speed Figure in this year's GI Travers Stakes. That number was also the fastest Beyer of the last seven years by any horse other than Flightline. The Fastest Horse of the Year is brought to you by WinStar Farm, who welcomes three new stallions to their roster for 2026 in Straight No Chaser, Mullikin and Patch Adams.

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.
