Front Runner
Copper Bullet

Copper Bullet owns the title of fastest horse in the database — 19.1 ft/s, a GPS reading that made the data team double-check their equipment. He is a sprinting missile. At 6 furlongs, the only horse who can stay with him is Firestorm King, and their eventual showdown is the race everyone in the game wants to see.

  • Holds the GPS database record for top speed at 19.1 ft/s
  • His 22-race career is the most experienced in the database
  • Named after his copper-colored coat and his sire Speightstown's bullet-like speed

Strengths

  • Fastest recorded top speed in the entire GPS database at 19.1 ft/s — no one else is close

Weaknesses

  • Dramatic 3.0 ft/s speed drop from peak (18.6) to final furlong (15.6) — the steepest fade in the database
