The Happy Hour Crew discusses the Derby weekend & previews the Man O War & Peter Pan
#KentuckyDerby148 Recap
Full Transcript
All right, welcome to a post Derby edition of the
horse-racing happy hour. I am Mike Adolfo.
And that what was that? That was weak sauce that again,
but the hose here, it's a beer glass.
It is a full beer glass. I will not apologize.
It was weak. I will be brown.
Megan your can you give us a clink?
Please Megan. Can you do better than that?
Just we go there. Is thank you.
All right, I was pretty good. Not only handle and a glass of
water. So that's all right.
I'm joined by my two dear friends.
Miss Megan Divine and mr. Louis Rebo yo-yo, which we had a
lot of fun last weekend hanging out doing some, doing some shows
for ESPN, Radio here, locally, and hopefully, at the time at
the track. And for the most part, I think
the, I think the crowds were a little bit lower than I.
Expect it, but still good crowds and it was fun to see everybody
out there and no one section when I was over there about 3:00
ran out of vodka, which is so fun brain that all inclusive
package. Yeah.
I mean there was definitely, you know, when they did it last year
and the crowds were smaller, but there was still, it was crowded,
right? There's just no infield and so
like that I didn't think the all-inclusive got out of
control. This year, it was definitely a
little bit more of a. Yeah, I got vomited on on me,
not on any of the all-inclusive day so that's different.
Yeah, I agree. I agree because the day there's
therapy was not know. I was like, okay, drinks and I
still got vomited on. So there you go.
Well, I mean not for nothing but they really got to separate the
people that work at the track and the people that are just
going to the track as they parked everybody in the stadium,
and then put them The same buses.
So, every time we were on the shuttle, somebody was vomiting
or trying to start a fight in line and everybody that had been
there. So late myself, included for
hours and hours. And hours was like, come on man.
I just wanna go home. Yeah.
And then, of course, they, they've done that in the past
were they separated us out different buses in different
parts of the parking lot. They should, they did not this
year. No, they did not.
And we got Louis and I got caught in the postal like
waiting for like an hour to get back, so You know, like first
first world problems, right? You know, we're so very lucky to
kind of do, it was a lot of fun and you know, I want to start
with the Oaks because, you know, I don't know, people tuned in
for the Derby, talk about the director Wayne leaves, and also
she's going to the Preakness, which we need to break that news
to. Yes, we know the Derby winner is
not going to be going to the Preakness.
Rich. Strike is gonna forgo.
The Preakness, I agree with that.
By the way, it's the best decision for the horse like at
that. At the end of the day that horse
has got a much better shot of showing up in the Belmont.
And he has to show me the ones about money.
I think the West Virginia Derby. I think that's the next race
that horse wins. But Ohio der I think he never
wins again every for that table or that.
Maybe he's respectful in the Belmont.
It could do with a lot more for on anything else.
All right, there you go. You will be respectable.
All right, we'll talk about other ways secretos figured out
which one we can do Oaks and Derby.
I'm even first chronologically. Let's go that later.
Okay, no, no. That just the, just the whole
way that day, unfolded, where? Right before the deadline Wayne
Lukas, scratches his Derby horse, Rich strike gets in that
morning. Way Lucas goes on to win The
Oaks at 86 years old, first one and 32 years had one since 1990
and gives like just one of the all-time great horse racing.
Podcast are not podcast but press Conferences will trace a
post-race when usually these trainers are so dry.
It's like, just so boring and, and he was not afraid to take
the stage and he was like, you know, removes filter and let's
go. It was great.
So I think that that's happened, more and more as he's continued
to age, but yeah, I mean, I was happy for Luis saez.
Rathore is right? Yeah, yeah.
Because he, you know, he's got a got screwed at the Maximum
Security deal and he's been around for a while.
And he's a really good writer and has won plenty of other
stakes races before and you know, some Breeders Cup races
and whatnot and even the Belmont Stakes last year.
But yeah, I mean he I thought he deserved that one and so I was
happy to see him, get it as he picked up secretos, you know,
for the first time this is first time riding right?
Believe or at least 47 while because Contreras had the ride.
But yeah, we talked about on the show.
I just I Kathleen always like a tossed for me and she finished
know, R and I thought body type wise, a horse more like shots
fired at loot like okay. Would be more applicable to The
Churchill Downs surface and I was not wrong.
So I was not wrong. Hey, yo, I'm sorry.
I'm trying to bet the last race at Churchill Downs.
I'm sorry. Were you saying something about
the? Oh my God.
I was just saying that. I was right.
Oh yeah. Do I had a horrific weekend on
the biggest races but I did a full calculation.
I ended up $117 up on the weekend.
I will tell you. Okay, I will take I was
actually, we saw that there's a lot of favorite one.
Very well, I mean, - that accident, but that accident.
Listen. Well, first off, and I have it,
I do have a take, get out of Big Fudge this way people's on the
street, on the, on the okay. Now, we're talking about the
wrong horse who was the most impactful horse in the derby.
Because know, Summers tomorrow is the one whose only reason why
Striker rich rich, strike. Whatever it is won that race is
because it's summer is tomorrow. Right there.
It's summer. Tomorrow is not in that race.
Rich strike does not win the dirt 100%.
This was more like when we had before the point system because
the point system has made it. So we don't have those early
rabbits essentially like we did when you had the money earning
system getting in. Because then you had some
sprinters that took their shot, try to stretch out, whatever,
right? And and so this race kind of was
was what we kind of saw before. And there have been plenty of Oh
yeah, yeah, I think there have been plenty of juries that were
quote, unquote spoiled right? The horses that maybe should
have won the Derby, but didn't and then went on to win another
Triple Crown races are became champion horses or whatever and
their field but yeah, really. Before the to you all before,
the two of y'all probably even started paying attention before
fussillat see Pegasus the favorite never won the Derby and
it almost was the exact same scenario of what we saw happen
on. I mean, To be fair, everyone
complains about Chalk Festival. By the way, horse racing, people
are the bottom of sports people because if the best horses win,
it's a chalk Fest and if the 82 one comes in, it's too
unpredictable. So like just shut up.
Like either get in and get out. Shut up, I'm tired of all you
people, you know. So since 2005, we've had four
horses win at 50, to 1 or longer, I don't want to hear
that. This is chalk race.
And the point system is ruining and get out of here.
Stowaway just be done. Go away, literally, go away.
Spend your money on. I don't care.
Baccarat, just go away. Oh yeah, we got to, I thought
Megan's gonna be salty. Louis is salty today.
I just can't deal with these even poured myself yet and I was
complaining, like, Chris Farley. Kid gets on the bear from ESPN
or NBC or whatever. Whatever the hell he's doing
these days and squinting and being angry.
And, you know, I just, I'm a little tired of never building
the Derby and well, why did you say that after country house?
Why didn't you say that after Joe?
Kamal, why don't you say that after mine?
That bird get the bleep out of here, man.
Almost when I supposed to go, someone else talk.
I'll listen, I'm gonna go even further with the Summers
tomorrow part because at the the point in the race, you know, we
all saw the great move that Sunny Leone made around the
chassis. A okay, there's another there's
another great move as he's going into that third turn, the kind
of go in the middle of the track.
And then, that's when Summer's tomorrow is dropping and when
Summer's tomorrow is dropping, He basically cleared the rail
for Rich strike to just take that real shot and go.
I mean it was almost like he set the pace and then he's like,
here, let me run block on all these other horses so that you
can just have this Gap and then that's set up to move on
Messier, and it was a great ride and it is a kind of a neat
Story. I mean, I don't know much about
it. I mean, I don't know if it's
good that I love that Wayne on Friday, talked about the most
hardest thing to predict about the derby.
The 20 horse field, that's the hardest thing I navigate and he
made the comment that five jockey should be in the Hall of
Fame and five should be bagging groceries.
I'm pretty sure he was talking about Sonny.
There should be bagging groceries and he came from Bill.
Tell apart Bells tear apart the day before where he was over 5.
Yeah, right. So, well, this is the first.
This was Sunny Leone's first verse takes.
Graded Stakes would ya and I will say I so I think it was a
great ride by him truly. Do I mean this maneuvering that
he was able to do and just reading like you said, kind of
the other horses that were slowing down and and just
getting into those spots going on the rail.
I mean there was a lot to that ride and so I thought it was a
fabulous ride. I'm very happy for the jockey.
I'm happy for the horse. I think he did a good job, he
was really Brave and I mean out there which is what you thought
in the post parade to which that's a whole nother thing.
I don't want to hear it with the whole outrider situation because
I agree, I'll tell you, man. How you been on a horse and
you've been in that situation, don't even.
And at me all day long, I will. Well, somebody who was in the
rodeo, says, you know. Yeah, no, uh, no.
But yeah, no, I am not really too excited for the rest of the
connections. I mean, I, I'm, it came out.
I think, ESPN was the first one to kind of break it.
That Eric Reid has been active on Twitter and whatever you feel
about politics. Whether it's, you know, Left
Right Center. I don't care.
But the derogatory comments towards Kamala Harris as a woman
and implying that she got her position because she performed
sexual favors, which is essentially what he was saying
is BS and sit down. I mean, it's just it's
disgusting behavior from somebody that I think is low
class. And I don't care that you won
the Derby. And you know what?
He's out of lot of bad stuff happened to him.
He had the whole barn fire forces that happened.
There was an accident, he lost a grandson.
I don't know, whatever. But behave like a human being
and I'm not in, I don't buy this fairytale story anymore and not
not for nothing, not only did he not apologize when it was
brought to his attention that they had found?
He said he didn't remember doing it didn't remember doing it or
that he hadn't seen it and then just went on to say that he's
doing the right thing for the horse, whatever that he's just
taking. Her him Bubba.
Bubba, you know, he's not going to the Preakness one because
this horse is going to win his no shot of probably ever winning
again, but definitely not wanting the Preakness, or the
Belmont Stakes. And two, because he doesn't want
to be asked about it. That's why this is a total PR
move by him. And I just, you know, what, go
hide in the shadows because that's where you belong,
apparently from a family of Horsemen and has been doing that
his whole life, this that and the other really well, then I
just have a question of why he doesn't want to buy photos from
a family of Of photographers who spent thousands and thousands of
thousands of dollars to take pictures of your horse and to
cover the Derby Day from Cody photography and they got a big
problem doing that. He wants them to essentially,
give the photo to his friends, so he can buy the photos and his
friend can print them who he's not set up to do at all, which
isn't isn't a thing. And this guy is not a licensed
trademark person that can do any of that.
And I just think he's cheap, I think it's low class and I'm
just not Here for it. I'm not here for any of it,
whether it's my personal, take on the whole photography thing,
which is BS, or the take from a feminist that you don't go
around saying that stuff. This is Somebody's Daughter.
This is somebody's mother. This is somebody sister.
This is a, I mean, just wife human being.
Yeah, wife. Exactly.
Sit down. Go back to the Shadows that you
came from and stay there. I'ma tell you right now, when I
win the Derby, I'm going to be spending all kinds of my Cody
photography, you won't be able to stop me.
It's not about that though. It's like you want to talk about
the little guy like right? All right, a little guy this
that and the other now we're on the big stage.
How about a family that's been in business for six years and
started off at little tracks and now they get their opportunity
to. You're going to take that away
from them. Go home, go salty million.
I'm out of here. I need a hashtag salty Megan.
Where's JD when we need him JD we miss you just you need to
know that. So on an aeroplane, On Aeroplane
also. Well, I'm not at the center was
the best horse in the race. He stayed up with the, I'm gonna
go out. I mean he by far I said it on
the live show and I will say it again.
If there was any horse, that had a chance of winning the Triple
Crown this year. It's epicenter and nobody else.
He will win the Preakness. You will hopefully win the
Belmont. I mean, that's a tough one to
do, but he was 1000% the best horse in the race.
Summer is tomorrow's down the race.
I think messy wins. I think epicenter wins.
Interesting, I think, Jack Christopher wins the Preakness.
Let's keep going. There's something about that
horse. I think he'll be the most
talented horse in the field. I get it to turns, but I love
the Mi warm-up for him and going into the Preakness.
I don't, by the way, I didn't mean to totally.
I mean, can we just say that? Maybe?
Yeah. But that mild Fields can be
loaded. So I won't go there yet because
I don't know. I think you did.
At the Preakness. He's probably the best horse.
Yeah, we're looking at a pregnancy.
All without a Derby winner. That might be one of the
strongest pregnancy Fields we've had and put all the time.
Like it is good to go bigger, there's five or six horses in
this previous field that are, you know, legit contenders and
we don't normally get that lately and I'm quoting a Philly,
by the way. I mean, no, we should be right.
I see the negativity online because we're striking the
center, its secret oath and then everybody else.
Jack Christopher know, I mean, is he officially in the field?
I saw let me do the old Twitter double-check but I've heard that
they are shipping them, okay? Would I be surprised and amazed?
I thought he was running the Preakness.
What? I thought we understood that he
was him and simplification are both running.
The Preakness is what I thought. Oh, I saw epicenter is running
the Preakness and simplification and secret.
Well, no more next week when we have this trap.
That's true right now, it's just all speculation.
Okay. I guess he's likely to to Target
the Woody Stevens on the undercard on Belmont Stakes day
Jack Christopher. This is a mile, isn't it?
Yeah. Yeah I think that horse.
Your Champion. I mean, he's he's going to be
the problem. The problem is your he's going
to have to go to the Sprint in the Breeders Cup because the
British cut mile at Keeneland is to turns man.
And do you do the teacher in Milan?
No, I mean, that's that's probably something they'll
figure out this summer. Saratoga.
Okay. That's far too.
Okay. They got that shoot.
Now they got a one-mile shoot at Saratoga.
All right. Let's let's talk about the other
undercard Stars before the on Jack Christopher.
There were a bunch Which are one of the best things about that
weekend. For sure.
Absolutely not. You know to me Jackie's Warrior.
Yeah is establishing himself as probably the premier dirt horse
in America right now. Yeah, he's the real deal, again.
Dunno, what happened? There's got a every ticket.
I had relied on him and he did not show up for me.
Yeah, forward fine. But I still think he is a super
talented horse and you can Target phone talking to channel
maker beforehand and they had something going on there.
Listen Megan's here. She spent on you can you come in
second, right? So he's very aerodynamic both
him. And I was like, where's the rest
of epicenters tail? If you lucky has a really,
really short tail and when they bought him as a yearling or a
two-year-old they had which is not uncommon like tail
extensions just to make it look pretty right?
And we use them in the show horse role of times.
It's not a big deal but then so you buy the horse.
And then all of a sudden, you get to it there.
No. Ours.
Is this tiny little tail? Does nothing.
And I was like, what is going on?
And he's like, you know, this is a second horse that we bought
like this. I said he was the first, it
said, Jackie's Warrior. Well, that's all very
aerodynamic. Less flopping of hair.
There you are American pharoah at a short tail to because mr.
Z8 it off. Isn't that true?
I remember doing a feature, I gotta remember that.
Yeah, yeah, I've been I think we're seeing a budding star
though in that, for that. Claim in a horse.
That could definitely be a contender in the in the classic.
And I would just say I'm guessing he's gonna run the
Stephen Foster, but I'm not sure.
Olympiad looked amazing. I agree.
Yeah. He's the, he's the one who on
the male side to me, we knew about Jackie's Warrior heat.
We do if he could regain that form that he was getting a part
of everything that happened. This year.
Got a chance at the try. It's come on, get up, eight, get
up. Get up.
There you go, 76. Oh, what's up?
Although 786 favorite finishes. Third, let's go DJ and time.
So generat, we've turned them into this.
Megan, we played it for a dollar.
Let's go. So on but developed like, a New
York accent, he's outside Chris and I apologize.
So I think I haven't bankrupted us yet.
So the No, but Olympiad we wondered about the class.
Step up. Very clearly in the class of any
of those horses in that grade 2 will be fun to watch him.
He's a clerk horse for sure this summer, right?
And our Clark coughs, sorry, Foster the Summer Clark in the
winter but he's a foster horse this summer for sure.
I'm interested in in that class like who else is going to join
him, that isn't a three-year-old and this happens to us a lot
that the best three loads, of course, go off to the breeding
shed. Right?
And so right now, with the class, not the strongest, that's
He's talking about his classic, the classic group.
What older horses are with him right now, he's clearly the
class of the four-year-old, 25 year olds, we're gonna have to
get some kind of Step Up from a three-year-old.
This might be the year that a three-year-old was classic.
Well, I'm actually wondering how many of these three year olds
are going to go for the class. You can have your go for the Mi.
I think a lot of my lawyers especially to turn Mi.
Yeah, yeah, we're going to be really comfortable there.
I agree with you, especially like a simplification like a to
turn milder, right? Mess isn't.
It could be really the both of those sources.
Be really good in that kind of company table, mandala.
Yeah, exactly. I mean, I definitely think there
are still some horses that are that are out there that are
worth considering when we get to that field, which were six
months out, I mean, I still think there could be a comeback
for you for making jam. Oh, you know, I agree.
So, I mean, he's still inside and training.
It would be in 100% is not still in training, at least, uh, are
seeking hot rod Charlie, welcome, could, you know, come
around and have a good summer and still be there.
Yeah, yeah. A lot of those horses that went
to the Arabian Peninsula, if they come back, they run.
Well, in the summer. Definitely, we could see him the
small that's fair to say, I agree.
Yeah. Hi Raja is also not done
anything since March no record of workouts or anything but it's
fine. Yeah.
But he's taking a little break and he was made on for a couple
races. I'll take a look at.
Let's go. Yeah.
Well you have Country Grammar to is Included in that field.
I mean I think there's an oh yeah that's fear.
Yeah all right on the Filly side let's talk about metro area.
Yeah breakouts and we talked about it on Oaks day, that weird
Confluence of those, those Philly races for three-year-olds
where you go for 2 turns into yolks 2 1, turn in the acorn.
She's greatly a Bells at seven furlongs if she likes the
surface at Belmont, I think she's the favorite.
She reminds me I was thinking about this of Gloriana from a
couple years ago who's coming out was in the acorn.
I think for a lot of people on the national stage that could be
her coming out. Now if you watched any of Oaks
day, it would be impossible to miss Madara.
She was terrific. I guess you guys frankly no
dominant. It's just so professional right?
And just nothing about that race scream three-year-old, she
looked like a five-year-old, frankly.
I mean, just just how she took the turn and I mean everything.
So I have very high on her. I might be as high on her coming
out of the weekend as I am any horse.
That ran was two days, I agree with that.
I agree with that. And the other horse that was
really impressive to me was That's her Force.
The something devil raises. The devil is that it speaks the
devil or something. Sneaky devil, speaking of the
devil? Yeah, yeah.
I thought, I thought the way that that horse moves was just
as impressive as anything else. We saw that weekend, And then
the last one, I don't know if it was an upset, you know,
Pauline's Pearl is obviously a very solid Philly coming through
the water and just, you know, being she dares the devil great
performance there but her as well.
So anything you all want to have some special?
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I just really got the
and she she showed that she belonged at that.
Like that was the one thing they're not clear or right as
she had kind of travel around and gone to see some maybe let's
call them like second tier Tracks or whatever, and got her
black type there. But, but yeah, I mean, she
proved herself on Derby Day, Churchill down, some stairs,
can't argue with that, a bit like a bit like Olympia.
Excuse me, in that getting a little bit older going up
against that better competition. Frankly, she went against even
better competition than Olivia did so it was fun to watch her
grow up a little bit, mention it on Saturday, on our live show.
She runs a different style than a lot of those distaff horses.
We watched Marcia Lauren overtake, the overtake, the
field in the distaff this year, Tuvalu truce.
Go ahead of she. There's a devil in that field.
Could we see a Poland's Pro be part of that equation at the de
step? I think we absolutely could.
All right, well, let's go, I'm good.
Hold on one second. One more note on speak of the
devil, which somehow I miss when I was tapping, but this is a
horse that ran some in some very, very nice stakes races,
including a great one in which, you know, shouldn't finish
there. But um, behind space Blues her
race coming before she came to, the US was a Stakes race.
One, it was against the boys, the grade.
When I met Groupon, I mentioned before was against the boys so I
can speak of the devil's possibly horse.
You see, run in like the four-star.
Dave, you know, this feels to me like kind of the got stormy or
the oh my God, Chad Browns. Other Philly mayor that he had
in the turf. Who beat the boys in while
pregnant, right? In the Breeders Cup.
No one of the Breeders Cup at Del Mar I think it of aleksandra
but But she beat the boys a bunch to.
I mean, so, you know, yeah, I can remember it'll come to me.
Yeah, yeah. Well, you know the late, right?
You're not thinking of a later, you know, she came from overseas
and keep us moving. Like we're we're entering the
time now where we have, you know, this is the halfway point.
We're now going into Breeders Cup season and especially now
that we have no chance of Triple Crown winner.
Everything's going to be geared towards what happens to get us
ready for the Breeders Cup at Keeneland in the first weekend
in November should? A whole lot of fun.
Can't wait. I know, we'll be there and we're
gonna have a huge time. Ernie.
I have a big weekend coming up at Belmont that we're going to
talk about, and we're going to introduce a new segment today,
we're with our friends at Green Sheet racing.
And before we do that, I'm going to do, I'm gonna do the one
overnight race at Churchill Downs, but that's okay.
Willie will do that, and then we'll do the glass sheets to try
and transition into Belmont. So, Churchill Downs has got The
mam'selle overnight is a 5-4 long-term phrase three-year-old
Phillies 160,000 dollars. Who do we like in this
overnight? So, this is my Green Sheet
finger of the week. Oh my case, I'm gonna throw it
up there, they're also. So let's explain what that is
then. So if people are unfamiliar with
the green sheets, Mike, you should get out of the way.
There you go, the green sheet with the top.
Pick. On the finger sheet has a little
finger pointing at The top pick on the tip sheet.
And so if you're not familiar Green Sheet racing.com, check
them out. And by the way, shout out bunch
of listeners went to the the Green Sheet racing.com Derby
just listening to us on the radio.
They had some nice. Some nice numbers from the
Louisville are so we appreciate those folks.
Checking out, checking them out, Green Sheet, racing.com Megan,
and I have decided, we're going to give out different types of
fingers. So we have to answer the debate
now is is the thumb of finger. The thumbs like a thumbs up.
Right, that's where you have my fingers underneath.
If you're a dad, the thumb up is the moon.
So I'm going with the dad thumb up of the week and that is the
five Twilight gleaming. Tyler Wesley, Award winner of
the beard is cup. Juvenile Turf.
Good second in her first run as a three-year-old last time at
Keeneland and I wanted to go on record.
By the way, a writing triple for Tyler, given the last race just
now at Churchill today, I expect him very much to win.
His seventh consecutive writing title at Churchill Downs us,
Ring. Yeah, I'd probably buy double
something like that. And so, there's so many cats
Megan's house and, um, and so I'm gonna take fire Gleaming,
the 50's, my single, as my dad thumbs up finger of the week.
Now, I thought we were going to do this, it was going to be
another finger and it was gonna be the race, we hated to
handicap the most, you know, and then I thought these people are
nice, they're sponsoring the show, let's be positive instead
of negative because the finger means positive in the, in the
Racing Tip Sheet and not - so we're going to possibly with
these, all right. Megan, who do you like in this
overnight Stakes? So I'm right there with Louis.
I think Twilight clean. He's definitely the horse to use
and here and so I will likely be putting that one on top.
The, the main, you know, the second word.
I guess that a lot of people might look at but I'm probably
going to go in a different direction is Mystic eyes for for
Todd Pletcher and coming off. A bit of a layoff 321, seems
like a horse that has a lot of speed, but I am actually going
to put Either the, for the nine, I gotta decide their box of
Lucky, thirteen, someone love and our toasts at 6:00.
So I'll talk about Boxing Day first.
So that would be my exact. I would be either of those who
are so that a bigger price with Twilight gleaming on top for
Wesley word, for all the reasons that I mentioned.
But Boxing Day. The only two bad races for her.
She went in a mile on Mile 16th, this is clearly a horse that
wants to Sprint. We are sprinting here on the
turf. Like that, I had the blinkers on
angle Brendon Walsh runs at 23%. He's been just doing extremely
well when it 33 percent right now at Churchill Downs,
including couple verses that I call that a big prices on our
live shows. Yeah.
And so I think that she's really talented.
I don't think the 12:45 price is reflective of her talents.
I think she's been in against some tough horses before.
I just, I like her a lot in here, so plus you'll see it
right off that pace, which is good because there actually are
quite a few horses with Mystic eyes Margie's kitten Twilight.
Gleaming artos is another one that could be right there, which
is the other horse I mentioned for Rusty Arnold.
Keep in mind, they also shipped this horse to ask it for the
Queen Mary Stakes last year and finished fourth behind Twilight
gleaming who finished second in that race.
So, I think this is a really talented Philly.
Her one start after she recovered from shipping to Royal
ass. And she finished ninth but she
has a lot of trouble at the start of that race and I think
she just kind of lost all chance.
She seems like one that definitely airs on the side of a
need the lead type of a horse so she's got to get out of that
gate quickly. I think last time she didn't get
out of gate quickly and they just kind of wrapped up on her
knowing that it wasn't going to be her day.
So s start off the laughs. I like that she's been working
extremely well at Keeneland and this is the kind of race where I
feel like you see, Rusty Arnold pop up and he liked her enough
by the way, when she graduated from her mate.
A special way race that she beat the boys.
So we entered her against the Colts.
Now, Churchill Downs officer, of course she won that race that
day. I thought a couple of nice
horses that came back to win their next starts after that
with sees the treasurer and overboard and so no.
That's right. Yeah, I think that's awesome.
That 601 is fair for sure. Yeah, that's the times on these
Sprint's to. So, Boxing Day for example,
finished a really tight third last time over 5 and furlongs in
a minute, five and four in the Palisades.
Keeneland over a good, go a minute to, and for was that
Palisade. So three seconds difference
here. That's why we talk about
Twilight gleaming. I mean, just incredible speed.
Even in even coming off the bench for her off.
The layoff really, really good. And so, actually, a lot of
quality in this eye, it's something look owners have
figured out, you know, go to these cats man.
These get these holders have figured out.
It's all it's cool. Make sure you're watching your.
I can't the owners have figured out.
Look, it's it says it's worth it to them.
Them run the black type for 160 instead of maybe a grade 3
somewhere else for a hundreds, or even for 75 or whatever it
might be. And so you get a lot of quality
in these fields, but if I'd wanted by the way, it is night
racing at Churchill Downs. So I'll head out there and do
that. Yeah.
For sure. Is there a theme?
Do you all know the theme is? I don't know actually.
And I don't know. I will be at a judo tournament.
In J, County, High School in Indiana, You're darn, right?
You will be. That's right.
I mean, everybody is loving it like 23,000 people.
It is the largest Judo state tournament in the country and In
space. There you go.
Very nice so Megan. You're not going to give a
thumbs up. You're gonna give a pinky outfit
that? I think he think he out think.
Yeah. So this is the race that you
good for or house that. I mean I just felt like Louisa
here's the part. I like so I was like I'll go
somewhere else in our group. So there you go.
What is your race is at Belmont? This is the first race at
Belmont. Manowar.
So we got a little while I know we got a little bit.
Okay, well then never mind. I'm totally go back.
We'll wait a second. All right, it is, it is Manowar
day. I'm going to take this little
overlay often for a little bit and I'm going to come back on.
The screen is the Mega dive Belmont is her home track.
If people are hanging out for the first time, welcome in horse
racing happy hour. Is it to people consider this
Peter Pan day or do they consider this Man Award?
I don't actually do manowar's a grade 1.
Peter Pan is a great three. Yeah, I understand.
But I do my my initial gut wanted to say Peter Pan.
I agree. And I personally think it's I
don't know because the Peter Pan is a preparation of the Belmont,
right? So I guess that's why right?
Exactly. Even though none of the horses
in the Peter Pan are our Triple Crown nominated.
Good job guys. Four thousand dollars a month
ago and it sounds like 200k to get in the Belmont.
Good job. Keep going the first entire
life. Salty, Louis, if you want to see
Megan's cats, you got to make sure you're watching the show on
Spotify or you're watching a slap.
The we're going to start with the third race of the day which
is the grade 3. A currency vagrancy is it's been
around this race has been around since 1948.
They took a couple years off and have been running continuously
since 1952 name for the 1942 three year, old Filly Champion
vagrancy who has a very impressive three-year-old
campaign, winning the country club, the Coaching Club of
America, noakes the Pimlico X, which, of course, is now, the
black-eyed. Susan, the Alabama, the test,
the beldam, all God, that's 100 Year, there was other years, but
there was other races in there, but those Are the big ones.
So, yeah, just incredible six days and pretty much.
She ran six for a long workouts, every three days.
Yeah, now, that's 42 starting her career for the get this
Louis, 42 starts and career, 15 wins.
We named all those races that you want only a hundred and two
thousand dollars in there, right?
Right. That's the thing that makes her
even more impressive since this is man-of-war day, her damn sire
was made of War. So there you go.
That's pretty cool. Okay.
Maybe that's pretty cool. Yeah, good stuff out of you
then, thank you. Yeah.
It's so who do we like in the vagrancy?
We'll start with Megan. So I Bella Sophia's.
Obviously the horse to beat in here.
She's 45 for Rudy Rodriguez, and coming off a layoff.
We have not seen her, since the Breeders Cup, the Lemur Sprint
where she finished fourth to behind CC.
Say, say so don't know how to say it.
You know, she's obviously run, some really big numbers in her
career. She won the test by 4.
Length, you know she's she's a super super talented or she's
got a lot of really speed. I am always kind of you wonder
for is like that's going to come back and be a strong.
She hasn't come back off of a layoff before in her career.
She's been one of those silly. She's only four where she needed
all of that consistent racing. So I'm interested to see what
working together. That being said, Rudy Rodriguez
brings horses. Back to an office is 24% when
Clint. Yep.
So Maybe I'm just asking for a price but it's probably her plus
Luis saez Hooch is coming out of, right?
Unbelievable. We get a job.
Yeah, right? Yeah, it's lightly her over
Frank's Rockette who seems to be the logical.
Second choice in here for flooding, and Pratt and Belmont.
I mean, I like her, maybe even a little better than here.
Then I have it some other tracks.
I think she runs her game here at Belmont.
She used to create this track here this distance.
You know she dipped A lot in her career.
I mean she's going to Oakland Keeneland Colonial Gulfstream.
I mean, she's been everywhere. And I think getting back to
Belmont is going to be really big for her.
So I think we see her run one of her best sources in a long time,
in this particular spot. So I literally wrote down
Frank's. Our credit is the better-known
name here but I'd rather try Miss Brazil if we're using a
second horse, right? David working her at Belmont.
The Works are terrific and she recently won over six furlongs
in an easy mission. Ten that's a winning time.
And so if you're looking for a horse after Bella Sophia or
you're just trying to beat that horse, that's coming off a
layoff and you're hoping for that 76% with Rudy Rodriguez,
let's be clear 24% with a horse of the quality of Bella
Sophia's, probably more like, 55% something like that.
She's like, 55 60 percent, likely to win this race.
I would look to the for Miss Brazil, for at the to obviously,
with with, with a lot of class or something like you mentioned
begging. They're not afraid to put her in
lots of different spots, different tracks around the
country. So I went five and four
destroyers but he has the Single Barrel cigar there it's good I
have come to it's interesting because you know I have these
but then on Derby day. I had a god.
What we've never really, yeah. That was really good but I come
back to these and I thought I'm like, oh right, these are these
are smooth and they go with the boozy and it's nice.
So, yeah, it's good, it's very good.
Alright, so make sure you're going A Single Girl.
Cigar, you find them down Instagram and place your order.
Love know, you heard about them on the happy hour.
And you might get a little extra something.
Something by the way, I wanted to start the pump, I wanted to
start the pub. This, we are doing a single
barrel cigar event in Louisville on July 1st.
Oh, let me know location type. That's what he does.
Oh, he immediately put me the voicemail so whatever.
Okay, whatever. All right, I had some the future
Business Leaders of Louisville in my office.
I disagree, I disagree. We're going to my God.
Will be one of our backyards for this event.
Is that what's going to happen? No, it's it's it's either a
place that sells cigars or place.
That's it's 180,000 people oh all right sweet.
We know that's gonna be all right.
Race 5 is the grade 3 run-happy? Six furlongs on the dirt and you
don't need me to tell you who run happy is.
And if you do, you probably should be listened to the show
four year olds and up, four hundred fifty thousand dollars.
And if you didn't know, this run-happy is available for No
option. All right, every commercial and
were the only show. They don't sponsor.
That's fair. We are the only thing that I can
run. Happy money, we won't take run.
How about mattress Mac? Let's go.
Yeah. By the show for seven million
dollars, are always sweet on the so Megan who do you like in the
Run happy? So interestingly enough, neither
one of my top picks have one here at Belmont.
In fact looking for a horse but of course it's going to be by
the the way of repo rocks or mr. Phil, who is on the outside at
12:54? I'm gonna go with Chateau, on
the back at Aqueduct is last year.
Actually does seem to be a little bit of a needle lead type
the one time where he was passed or two times actually that he
was passed in the stretch, he just retreated.
So it worries me a little bit because you do have, you know, a
horse like mr. Phil and the outside, if He's
going to try to go with him. I do think that Chateau is
probably faster in the two of them.
So I'm gonna go with that. I want.
Op at 1:55, then the to drafted who is trained by David Duggan.
Last time, he was just way over matched in the great one in the
Carter handicap. I think you you know, possibly
get back to what you saw in the toboggan which was Aqueduct also
a great three. So they're both great three
winners but that was at 7:00 for a long.
This is six furlongs, although he has had a few wins at this
distance I think, Chateau is a little bit more of a 64 lung
specialist. And so I'm going to go with the
little bit more consistency from him.
There you go. Megan, and I are a little
different here except that I have the eight-year-old gelding.
The to drafted, he did win that the great three in February.
They tried him in that Carter in the grade 1.
He's just not there. The two big races of the Year,
outside of the Derby, preps at Aqueduct are the cigar Mile and
that Carter he's just not in that class and that's okay here
and you're unhappy by the way. They should have named this.
Anything else and then ask run happy to sponsor it.
They could have gotten free money by the way.
Home forties was a bread. Have a sponsor unhappy.
Yeah. Right all this opportunity.
Naira. Jose was a board for the
toboggan win in February. He gets them out here.
One of the many horses between 5 & 2 & 3, to 1 in this race.
I actually worry because I'll take Jose Ortiz, is a board that
he'll chase a bunch of money, but I think he's the most likely
winner, nonetheless, the winner of the top.
Pool this year is the five officiating.
He won in early March over six furlongs.
I prefer drafted toboggan run, which was over an off course in
his six for a long time was a full second better.
Had he run in the tomfool. I think that he wins and so give
me 25 in this race because I do think that's a bargain, was a
little bit better than the tomfool.
All right, there you go. So we're going to move on to the
main event because it is the great one.
So I'm still going to call it to the main event and the turf
Megan's pinky up race. I guess he's out.
Let's go Yankees out. She's sipping and water sipping
water because she is pregnant. If you didn't tune into our
Disney, Disney are Derby shows. Yeah, right, right.
And who is your pinky out? Green sheets racing pick and the
man. War.
Yeah well I mean the whole point of these is to give you the
likely winner not necessarily a big price.
So that's where we're going here.
So my pinky out horse is yeah, beer.
Who is the three? I absolutely love this four year
old gelding. He's been really competitive and
some of the bigger races, the group races in England, he
finished second in in Dubai in the Shema classic which is
always a really really challenging race s by neck and
he has had success in the US but for so he came to Belmont to run
in the Jockey Club Derby Invitational.
He finished first that day and then he won the Breeders Cup
turf at Del Mar at a longer distance and William Buick was
aboard for that ride. He's going to ship all the way
here to ride this horse. Yeah.
So I think they are absolutely here and they mean business for
sure. So I I just can't argue with you
beer. I mean obviously he you have to
deal with all that traveling and whatever but And I mentioned the
races that he's been in in the UAE and England and been here
before in the u.s. because obviously he's a horse that
ships. Well, which I think is really
important, you know, you've had plenty of great horses over time
the holder. Maybe was one of those who
didn't ship as well and or she just got really unlucky and kick
it high fevers every time she shipped.
But you know, I think that's a real Plus for a horse like this.
So my pinky out horse for the green Chief is going to be, you
be are the three and in recent over 8, all right?
It is and so Louis we're gonna get me back on screen here in
just a second. No you're good.
I think it's it's good to see Bill Buick.
Charlie baffle be back here that combination with the Breeders
Cup Turf winner. A couple subpar runs.
You beers like own bike, scale to not win both by hurt by his
own standards, by the way others show we tell you fold over the
Phillies because they run as mayor's, you beers a
four-year-old, girl, be, we're going to see this horse for like
five more. Years.
It's awesome. I gotta be oh yeah, literally
home set up, maybe that's why he does ships.
Oh well, you know, just set up for a Hall of Fame career.
Frankly, just just such a quality horse, running as a
four-year-old here. I actually I'm gonna go with
gufo and the only angle I'm using against you beer, is that
with before the Breeders Cup, they shipped you beer into
Belmont to get that prep race, ready?
And that was against three rules, okay?
And so now we're against older horses, not having that
experience. Perience Stateside.
I'm with Megan if the horse wins.
I mean, it's not. I mean what are we doing?
It's not it's not gonna be surprising but I I do love gufo
here. S awful, laughs come on hits a
26 percent, s off the layoffs. We're going to have a bond and
so high to run it on the front. So we're going to get this
classic closers dual. I do think it's a match race,
but I'll go ahead and put glue on top here.
Two and three for me in the matter what?
Okay, yeah, and I like gufo as well.
So go ahead, Mike. No, go ahead.
He's dead. My second choice because of the
numbers that he has run into some of his previous races.
I mean, he obviously has to be considered there, but yeah, I
think it's between him and then you get a horse like a bond who,
you know, has also runs a very good numbers, albeit, maybe at
some lower levels, you know, has been in some allowance levels
recently stepped up to the graded Stakes company and
finished behind. Go for lost time by two legs,
but he's very much a part of the case scenario.
And when you're talking about Longer distance races like this
a mile and three eighths. You know you've got you've got
to talk about the pace and I just didn't really see very much
early speed and I think that you've got a potential loan
speed horse with a bond. So I think these are talented
enough to kind of work out a trip regardless but it does seem
to me like you have a situation where a bond could just be out
on the front end walk the dogs and then it would be tough for
everybody else to close it. Megan, how many times did
Manowar run on turf? Once I don't know 00.
How many times how many times in the United States?
Did he run West of New York? No, that's 10 times.
He never raised to Churchill Downs of all.
His races are Belmont. The old Jamaica Aqueduct.
Saratoga Pimlico, of course. And that's it.
He also ran at what listen who's come with historical facts here
like all the time. No I mean my question is this
Manowar the greatest source of all time?
Full disclosure, I have no take on the greatest hits of all
time. I mean, I don't know, he is, he
is, you know, a lot of people consider me know where the
greatest source of all right, but I will say, this is the only
reason you could make the case, the horse that beat him was
named upset. And we use that term to this day
because I mean a horse. Anything is that one?
Yeah. The upset beat him.
We use the term upset still. That's a pretty good freaking
rationale. Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
I like it. We're moving on.
Moving on, moving on. 27 on Peter Pan moving up, which is a
mile and an eighth on the dirts for three-year-olds, two hundred
thousand dollars on the line. This is race 9 who do we like in
the Peter Pan. Meghan I went with the for we
the people on top three year old son obviously of constitution
for adult per se and Flavio on Pratt, gets them out last time.
I don't know what was up with him.
You know, he is the comment line says washy, so he is a horse
that seems to be. Be kind of high energy but he
trained that way too. So I think that worries me a lot
less for horses that just tend to do that.
I don't love it because obviously if they're more
anxious or excited, they're expecting a little bit more
energy than if they're super relaxed.
So oftentimes when that's happening with horses, you'll
see Riders, Mike Smith is really good at this, in the in the post
parade or even you know, walking to the gate or in the paddock or
whatever they won't put their feet in the iron.
A lot of time but just hang their legs down low because
horses. Absolutely.
No. When those Riders have their
startups up real high and they put their feet on.
It's go time. Yes.
So even I mean think from an exercise Rider point of view,
you know, you don't Gallop horses at the same strip length
in which you work horses. You raised us startups up for
that and that's for your positioning, but also, you know,
it's something that I think the horse is kind of learned.
And so I wouldn't be surprised if David and crab just really
try to keep this horse, relaxed. Rough first day is probably done
a lot with that. He rides his horses in the
mornings as well, but this was the buzz horse before the
Arkansas Derby, this was the one that everybody was talking
about. He was training.
So well, he looks so good, I don't like that.
That one bad result came without the addition of Lasix,
obviously, he will run without Lasix here today.
So that is a wee bit concerning to me, but I think that his
performances at Oaklawn Park and that allowance level and then
even when he won on debut, at Oakland were pretty impressive.
So, I still think he's Has a really solid job to kind of come
back here and I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the
Belmont. If he does well in this race
here, I think that's absolutely something that the ownership
group would go towards the one set sail did beat three year
olds and up. So, possibly older horses is not
always that way in that condition.
Sometimes they're just all straight three-year-olds
anyways, but I think when you do see that with a three-year-old,
it's something to take note of and you can see that right next
to the, the race type. So to say, three and have a
little Up. And so one by seven lengths that
day, I don't know. The stat on Richard, Mandela,
who, I think is an excellent Horsemen.
Let me just say that, but I do kind of wonder what the status
on how well he does in races overall or graded stakes races
when he's shipping right California.
Right. Right, right.
And and I don't know again, maybe that's just bad luck
recently but it is something I think to consider this is a
horse that's stepping out of Maiden company.
So One Last Time by seven lengths, At Santa Anita and had
some speed gets the rail. That's probably a positive.
But again, I like horses Miss maybe just a little bit more
experienced. I'm not a huge fan of stepping
out of a maiden race especially it's a pretty decent company
like this all the time and that's the same thing for
complete agenda. For Todd Pletcher, who also was
in a race last time for Mason 3 years old and up had maybe an
excuse because this or stumbled at the start and seems to like
to sit off that pace a little bit, but I think number
Otherwise, you've got to look at we, the people, and and set
sail. So I went in those two
directions. Okay, so the last great steaks,
the Richard Mandela one outside California, which what was it?
I have an answer. By the way, you want to Turf
race at Arlington? No it was a hoax.
He won the Indiana Oaks when all last year.
Great three Indiana Jones in 2021.
Yeah, really okay. Right?
What about before that? Yeah, well, I mean, I remember
that we continue to look back to me horse.
What's the name of? That means the two horses.
The name of the horse that wanted was sooo say right,
right, right, right. So say that's right, yeah, that
horse came out of frickin nowhere.
Because slavia Prague was like, oh right, I'm better at riding
than everyone here. Everyone everywhere pretty much
else, right? So Megan and I are different
here. I I had we the people before the
Arkansas Derby and so, maybe I'm buying into my own hands -
exactly may. He turned me off and I get, this
is one turn not to, but man, he was so empty and so bad in that
Arkansas Derby. Yeah, I have been the third spot
and so, I think this is actually electability the twos race to
lose already won against open. Company picks up irad.
Only concern is the extra for a long but it's a concern for
literally every horse in this race ran significantly faster.
Over the aqueduct Surface by time.
Then asset sale did at Santa Anita.
Now I want to be really clear. Set sail was not they weren't
pushing that horse. It was it was a hand ride with
one Hernandez. They didn't do that but so I got
the two on top. I have set sail in the second
spot here. Reason shipping and hasn't
trained over a New York style surface.
That worries me saying I need a to to Belmont.
They're just very different surfaces and then I'll have we
the people in the four spot to 1 and 4 for me in the Peter Pan.
So, the The outside California for Richard Mandela grade Stakes
one before, that was the Arkansas.
Okay, he won the rebel to that year, so you're you're dead on
Megan. I mean he does not win graded
stakes races outside the stage Aqua but to be fair, that's
where his barn is. That's where his operation as I
mean, that's just, yeah, big enough trainer though.
I mean, he's a big enough to see him ship as much as I guess some
of the other guys. So I think that Yeah, it's a
medium sized Barn to write mean to be fair.
Yeah, yeah. I think goes Bob baffert and
says, hey, can I one sometimes? Two and he goes, well, yeah.
And then I can't win today. Keep in mind.
Keep in mind, I guess, you know. Okay, so Richard Mandela has in
2022, he's run sixty five horses, compare that to Todd
Pletcher and Chad Brown who've run Pleasures run 322 and Chad
Brown has run 266. So in that lens, Richard Mandela
is actually quite a small traitor and very successful.
Yes, yeah, exactly. So he died and I don't want to
say, listen, I'm not saying he doesn't turn up besmirching him.
No, I'm not this person. We're fans of registers very
well. I just, you know, kind of Wonder
I just I felt like he's had has gotten unlucky a lot when he has
shipped a lot of his really good horses.
And so it's always kind of something that I'm like, I love
Roger Mandela but I hesitate just a little bit.
He's actually in a race like this, where you got, you know,
Todd and Chad homeboys here. They're bound boys with with
some solid contenders it's just something that I kind of pause
on. All right, let's talk about the
last race. The that we're going to talk
about today which is Race 10. It is the great three bogus
takes, did I say that right there?
We have. Okay, yeah.
Okay. Mono 16th on the turf or
Phillies of Mayors four year olds and up 150 thousand dollar
purse, making you like Mysteries, the chalk, I've got
the walkie, but how we saying that root beer, Rouge year at
literally means here to turn red.
Yes, right. Okay.
If no. So if you are, if you are, if
you have a like when people blush, it's called who's here in
French. Oh, okay well there you go.
Well, French bread, Philly. So that's on brand trained by
Chad Brown previously was not in the barn of trap around when she
did run here in the US. Well, let me say this wasn't
trained by Chad, Brown might have been in the barn was
trained by Cedric Rossi. And finished seventh in awesome.
It's true there. Yeah.
And you know, she had some trouble that day.
I don't know that anybody was going to be loves, only you.
That was a that was a very interesting race war, like
goddesses in there. I think that was one of those
Turf races that we were loaded at that was a super loaded field
of forces. We lost only I knew because of
the bird, stop chirping. But, but you know, she does seem
to need a little bit of pace to run it in.
Her previous races that I could see.
At least in the running style, she's one that sets off the pace
and she definitely didn't have any Pace in her last.
You a story. So she does need a little bit of
a setup but I think you have some possible speed or cieszyn
here with Plum Ali stolen holiday has been out there
before. So I I don't see her really
havin that much trouble against this field, the to Le Mista for.
Chad Brown would be the other horse.
I would consider who has run in some very nice.
Graded, grade 1 races here, And actually his run with that Lasix
a couple times and has done well, obviously, as they don't
use Lasix, like we do overseas. So has Rouge here, so it's not a
big concern for me. So I went with the one over the
to, you know, the one horse that I said, if you were going to
pick one to be an upset, possibly it stolen holiday.
But I know I did some research a couple of shows ago on the
Bloodlines of this one, but Has some very, very nice family
lines to have to horse. Name is Shanna Pollan who was a
grade one winner in Japan made over 3.5 million dollars, have
to master of hounds who want a great one race, the UAE and
England, and made 1.2 million dollars.
So, definitely has some very nice turkey pedigree.
Obviously, she's a war front rosado's.
Well, on the bottom side. So, possibly one of the only
speed horses in here or sits just off of it.
So, something to consider, but I still think that the one horses
is definitely the worst of you. Mr. Robbo yeah, so I mean,
Spirit though, you're most likely winner is the one.
I think the two is the next and two angles for brown here. 34%
winner with first timers, which is incredible and he's hitting
it 32%. Now with a sizable sample with
flavian. Yeah, I don't think Flav wins
the Belmont title because he's new to New York but I think he's
a serious threat to win. The Saratoga tunnel this summer
because I think they're going to figure out up there.
We gotta get flopping. A problem horses and I think
he's got a serious threat to win the.
He'll be a serious threat. Well witness Saratoga style as
well. The fact that Chad Browns
already riding him on a lot of his top.
As I mean, he's already in a barn that sends out a ton of
Runners, you know? And so he's already in a
position. Sometimes it's just about
numbers in that way. Obviously, if to win races, but
exactly, right, you've got to ride for for Barnes that have
horses. And so getting the barn of Chad
Brown and actually getting that call, I think sometimes maybe
over right like the Ortiz brother's here recently, that's
huge and Joelle to, you know, I mean he's the guy right now.
Yeah. So if you're trying to fill out
a longer ticket, I actually like hyah.
Opinion. Who's here with Eric cancel
second off the layoffs or Anthony dutroux, trying to pull
up the odds. Here, I have the older so it's
an eight to one horse. So if you wanted to play, like
the exactly with a third horse, I think High opinions going to
be running late was sprinting before is going to go Mile in a
16th here. It's kind of that weird like
half a turn thing that they do in Belmont over mile and a
sixteenth. It's not that horse can get the
distance 3 seconds and 3 lifetime runs for high opinion.
At the distance including a 94 speed figure.
So, if you're looking for another horse, either jump up
and perhaps, grab a spot in the Exacta or be in that third spot.
In the, in the trifecta, high opinion would be my horse that I
call. I call him mr.
Ago because you weren't on the bus with us after the Derby.
But car teachers was one of his former students when he was
teaching was on the bus with us. So and we're like was really
touched Louise. Heart gave a very touching story
about how yes it is. Really sweet really touching
story. It's legit in.
I had a terrific therby Oaks Derby, and then I'm just
chatting with people online, and she goes, mr.
Robbo it. She takes her sunglasses up.
And I go. Holy crap.
Kaylee, how are you? She actually lives in the
Arabian Peninsula. She does events in Saudi Arabia
for a living. Now, she happened to be home for
Derby and we talked for what a half hour Mike at least right
now. Wow.
What are the bus ride was whatever the plus waiting in
line and all that wild. It's she told she told a story
about how I knew she was having a bad day.
I pulled her aside helped her have a better day and she
adopted what she learned as a freshman in high school to her
business practice. Now, with people who are not
having a good day and I was blown away, it was probably one
of the coolest moments I've ever had around Derby or frankly,
anywhere. And so, yeah, it was, it was
awesome. It was good to see Kaylee and
the things that only happened. Horse racing and our bus ride
was really long because our bus driver could not figure out
where to turn. She missed a turn and she
couldn't go anywhere. Listen, I mean, I'm just like
wondering did you not drive the bus yesterday?
Or like, this could not be your first trip into the parking lot
at this point, right? She almost, she had to stop it
back up cause she missed the turn a second round around the
fairgrounds, it was great. All right.
Well, how many like we did the show in an hour and one minute
say I'm so happy, I'm so happy. But now I got to get the music
sheet up for the end because y'all are still recovering from
Derby week and that's okay. But I do want to say that our
live shows were so fun and I really enjoy them.
And I hope we can do more of those in the future because I
really feel like that's where I do my best handicapping.
Well, that listen, you know, some people were Churchill
Downs. Let's start doing our Thursday
shows at Churchill Downs. That's why.
Well especially if they're going to have Twilight racing.
They do old Master party. Yeah, yeah.
All right. So we're getting played out.
We'll see you next time we're gonna pay the tab.
Get out the horse race.
