00:00As always, our Fastest Horse of the Week brought to you by the Fast Sires at Windstar Farm.
00:05We have elaborated at length in the past on how fast Life is Good was as a racehorse.
00:12Well, his first winner took place at Keeneland last Wednesday.
00:17Wagley, in one of those four-and-a-half furlong dashes, scored a three-and-a-half-length win to
00:24get Life is Good on the board.
00:26Of course, Life is Good is Into Mischief's fastest son, who ran nine triple-digit buyer speed figures, topped by
00:34a career-best 112.
00:36And now, with Wagley and others to come, his two-year-olds have come out running as well.
00:41Life is Good stands at Windstar Farm for a fee of $60,000.
00:46The Fastest Horse of the Week at Oak Lawn Park on Saturday in the Apple Blossom Handicap.
00:52Claret Beret with a 105 buyer speed figure, soundly defeating Nitrogen, last year's three-year-old Philly champion.
01:02Remember, Nitrogen had just run in the Azeri stakes and was beaten with a buyer speed figure of just 91.
01:09So it was pretty obvious that Nitrogen didn't really run her A race, so to speak, in the Azeri.
01:16Would she bounce back in the Apple Blossom?
01:18Well, according to the numbers, Nitrogen did bounce back with one of her normal, outstanding efforts.
01:25But Claret Beret was just too good.
01:28Claret Beret opened up a big lead, turning for home, and went on to a convincing victory.
01:34Her second convincing victory in a row, stretched out to two turns by trainer Safi Joseph in the Royal Delta
01:40Stakes at Gulfstream.
01:41She won that race by five lengths prior to the Apple Blossom, so Claret Beret, now with a win in
01:47your end for the Breeders' Cup Distab,
01:48who looks like a key player in the Distab division and is our Fastest Horse of the Week.
