Of course, the fastest horse of the week ran on Derby Day, but was it the Derby winner? It was not! T O Elvis swooped in from Japan to take that honor, winning the Grade I Churchill Downs Stakes on the Derby undercard with a Beyer Speed Figure of 108. The fastest horse is presented by WinStar, home to Into Mischief's fastest son, Life Is Good, who was represented by his first black-type winner this week.

00:00The fastest horse of the week brought to you by the fast sires at Windstar Farm.
00:05Life is good was obviously very fast, and now he's also off to a fast start at stud.
00:11Over the weekend, True Blessing became the second two-year-old winner for Life is Good,
00:16and Wagley, who was his first winner a couple of weeks back at Keeneland, became his first stakes winner.
00:22Life is good is now the only first crop sire in the U.S. to have a black-type winner.
00:28Life is good is Intimischief's fastest son, and he stands at Windstar for a fee of $60,000.
00:36The fastest horse of the week might be a nice trivia question.
00:39I'm not sure many people would come up with this answer, but it happens to be T.O. Elvis,
00:45the Japanese phenom that ran away with the Churchill Downstakes on the Kentucky Derby undercard Saturday
00:51with a buyer's speed figure of 108.
00:55All you had to do was watch the video in Japan, and you knew that in his recent races,
01:01T.O. Elvis showed a remarkable closing kick, but how would you know that he would be fast enough
01:06to beat Knightsbridge and Cornucopian and Imagination and Disruptor?
01:12Well, he not only beat them, he blew their doors off in the Churchill Downstakes,
01:16our fastest horse of the week, straight from Japan.
01:20T.O. Elvis, and I'm not going to say Elvis is in the building.
01:23That's low-hanging fruit, and I've already said that.
01:26T.O. Elvis, and I'm so tired of this.
01:26T.O. Elvis, you're so tired of doing your job?
01:29T.O. Elvis, you're so tired of letting them know...
