00:00The fastest source of the week brought to you by the fast sires at Windstar Farm.
00:04And this week, our spotlight will be on one of their new stallions for 2026.
00:08Straight Note Chaser, a.k.a. Straight Up Fast.
00:12That's what Windstar likes to call him for obvious reasons.
00:15After all, Straight Note Chaser won the Breeders' Cup Sprint, got a 103 buyer for that.
00:20On the Preakness Undercard, he won the Maryland Sprint, 107 for that one.
00:25And he won the Santa Anita Sprint Championship with a 103 buyer.
00:31He probably would have gotten a big buyer in Saudi Arabia as well, but we don't do buyers at King
00:35Abdulaziz Racecourse, where he won the Riyadh Dirt Sprint.
00:40That's some serious speed on the part of Straight Note Chaser for a fee of only $10,000.
00:47Now, for the fastest horse of the week, she comes out of what I think is probably the deepest stakes
00:55race we've seen so far this year in any division in the United States.
01:00And that would be from the Madison Stakes, a grade one on Saturday on the Bluegrass Stakes Undercard.
01:07What a deep field that was.
01:10And it was taken by Eclatant by about this much over a Philly named or a mayor named Grand Job,
01:17a buyer's speed figure for Eclatant, a career high 109 and a 108 for Grand Job.
01:26Eclatant, her form went south about a year ago in the spring.
01:30They gave her a lot of time off.
01:32She came back with an allowance win at Churchill Downs in February with a 104 buyer.
01:37That surprised Brad Cox, the trainer.
01:40He said, I don't know where that number came from.
01:41I have no idea what to make of that.
01:44Now he knows what to make of it.
01:45Eclatant is really on a roll right now.
01:48And the daughter of Into Mischief has never been better.
01:51Our fastest horse of the week.
