No Adults

Welcome in audio, only addition horse racing, happy hour.

I'm Lou Mirabeau alongside - I'm Megan, how are you?

I am fine. You know, we this is a different

format than what we have been doing but it's it's what happens

when the adults leave us. You know, when they're

responsible humans IE Big Fudge like Adolfo or producer

extraordinaire JD Fox cannot attend.

The horse racing happy hour and This is the result.

I also said, alongside and I mean, we're zoom, zoom side.

Is that side? I'll go, I'll go with zoom deep

in the bunker. That is my basement, I say

bunker, I'm spoiled, I've got this like room to myself with

nine foot ceilings and shelves and real, right?

I mean next to my bar and now everyone's go ahead drink, but I

am in the media bunker down here in the basement and Megan and I

are going to be hanging out Rich.

Had a little bit about that, awesome Belmont card the, you

know, the class class, don't class and we got class right

class. Except for I think one race.

I think you could point to as an upset, but it was a race that a

lot of us talked about as the spread race.

And of course, we'll be checking out this weekend.

We're going to look out at those Futurity and debutant races out

at Santa Anita along with the Santa Maria.

Steaks, there's a great three at Belmont.

The modern Wade girl, first time ever overnight Stakes for

three-year-old. Phillies at Churchill Downs.

There's, there's a horse in that race Megan that I'm very excited

about never going to have to Monmouth, which, for

essentially, the Haskell preview day that they are doing and we

just had Stephen Foster preview day at Churchill Downs.

And then we'll go out to Monmouth for their version of

that with the Haskell preview today.

And so, the Belmont is in the books are Triple Crown season is

in the books. Megan modal goal wins?

I think to no one's surprise in your philly, ran really well

with a good second place finish. Yeah, I was He's really excited

to see the results of that. Unfortunately didn't get you

watch the priests live had to do this to do this Bourbon Festival

event. That's right for one of my

clients and I when I tell you that I was lost like deep deep

in Kentucky. I mean the big mistake was the

facility that we had the event at didn't have any cell phone

service for me specifically with my carrier other people seem to

have. But some some other people I

should say, but no Wi-fi, no cell service.

So what I should have done is plugged in my destination home

when I left the facility because I did.

All right in one room and I didn't and I didn't do that and

so really it's on me. But then I just had to like rely

on landmarks that. I thought I may have seen on the

way in and by landmarks, I mean like the house with the pretty

flower box, you know. No.

Look, it was by no means the post office turn, right?

It was like things that my brain somehow remembered and was like,

oh well that's really nice, you know, I don't know if that's

like, girl intuition directions or what it is, but I did make it

about most of the way. And then I took a wrong turn and

that will be so deep into ducky to basically keep following this

back road until I hoped I found an interstate or like hit

another Well, I just gone back to play by play of the novel

over the phone, right? And you've watched the replay,

I'm sure you know what's interesting.

You know you've been hanging out with me and Dan Issel on Friday.

So if anyone's in the Louisville area you can check us out on 680

and World 5 7 10 to noon on Fridays together Dan and I had

waned Lister on this earlier. This week he bred the first and

second-place finisher. I know that's the Belmont

Stakes. I know just tearing it up and I

asked him, how much did you have on the exact?

And he's Like, oh no, I didn't bet the Exacta.

I'm like, what are they doing here?

Why do we have this guy? Had he been on the happy hour

out of been like, okay, and that was waiting list or have a good

night, but I know he's on with, he's on with Dan and his

buddies. And I told Dan that, I prefer

that this happened this week, by the way.

I told Dan that I prefer Churchill to Keeneland and

someone texted into the shown it was perfect.

They said Louis, you may as well just insult one of Dan's

children and it's so he's like, that's it.

I'm taking you to Keeneland in October.

I hope you own a jacket and tie, and I'm like, damn, I'm the only

one who wears button down to this place and so, apparently,

I'm getting a full booze experience at Keeneland in

October. So everyone in Lexington are

number one marketing. Kentucky heads up, I'm coming

your way. All of my weird needless

besmirch, man and of Keeneland with me and Dan Issel, and I

just look for the 7-foot guy with the 5 foot nine, squatty

Flemish, guys. So there you go.

By the way we do, that is the thing.

It is going to be fun. Reminder, we are brought to you

by single. Cigars.

We will have our normal segment with Green Sheet racing with

Megan and me, giving out our most likely winners of the week.

Some old Donegal passes. We the people I thought to be

Longstocking ran a really good race.

I thought one of the more interesting.

So we had we had some horses that we expected to.

Wow. Wow, Jack Christopher.

Wow, Flightline. Wow.

Clary hair. Put herself Square in the

distaff discussion. I thought this past weekend with

her showing in the Ogden Phipps. What says Megan Divine about

Claire. Yes.

Yes. I, you know, we talked about her

and she was the one who kept going back and forth on because

it really did look like in her last race that she was in.

Proving that she, you know, showed all the signs of like a

bigger and better horse this year and that is exactly what we

saw. You know, obviously the pace of

certainly help that out too. But, I mean, she, she's a beast

this year. So yeah, certainly puts herself

in the conversation but I was like, kicking myself because

both You and I went back and forth on that horse.

So many times on the different shows that we did.

And obviously had our faith primarily elsewhere.

But she was the worst that we both said, if there's an upset,

it's going to be Clary. ER, and what's interesting is,

I've said on this show and on other shows that her running

style is just different enough from the other runners in that

class, in the distaff class that she can pick off some of these

races, right? So the truth could goes on front

and it's fast and she can't keep can't keep it going the whole

time. Well, if that gets her trip

right, she's a net stockings. Yeah.

She's in third fourth, whatever clear here, those sitting right

behind her, where she wants to be an even a little less deep

than usual. And so, you know, she got too

close and finish with her. Frankly, if met with that wins

their, I hit the pick five, like no question.

You know, nice and easy. So I was cursing Clara, she

crossed the line, but then a nice reminder that she was one

of the great three-year-old Phillies last year.

There's no reason she shouldn't train with and be a problem in

that distaff class this year. So I just thought that was a fun

thing because we already Have it really good just to have clap.

So it's nice to have another runner in there as well.

You know, we got one of our, one of the things we talked about on

the show is the Arabian Peninsula.

Bounce when horses come back from Dubai or from Riyadh and

Kasich read said, I don't really care that.

I just came back from the Arabian Peninsula and found a

seam burst through repeats in his race in the Manhattan.

And so what would, what did you make of the of the Cossack read?

Repeat. Well, you know, it's it's

certainly Lee. It was good to see him.

Come back and do. Well, because last year, he

assumed trying to find that his number and the PPS, he was a

note, 9 horse, ate more Saucy. He was the fall Don.

Okay, there we go for ye okay, so, but last year he was about

10 to 1 when he won. So sometimes when you, you know,

you get a result like that. With one of those horses you're

like, I was it a mistake to was there something that happened?

You know, can they really repeat that?

I think you can have a little bit more confidence and it went

a horse. You know, first second, maybe

third choice going into a race, they win that race and the come

back next year, you're like, okay, well yeah, obviously they

proved themselves last year. Everybody expect them to do.

Well, this is what happened and I'm not saying that's a

guarantee, right? But oftentimes in some of these

stakes races, you see these big prices, jump up.

Something happens IE. Maybe the pace is too fast, like

we just talked about with low Teresa, Picasa Creed really

proved himself. And I thought that was so

important because since that race, obviously last year's

diaper, he Hadn't had a win, so not only to come back from both,

you Middle East races with the church Sprint in Saudi and the

aqua Sprint and they done. But to come back after those two

races, get his first win in the same race that he won last year

as a long shot, but this year with a much better chance.

He just was like, okay haters. Okay.

Doubters, you know, right. I a real horse and another great

ride. Good, after soyuz another great

ride from Louis size and in a year of great rides and so, you

know, was running in Out seven position at the half mile marker

and then gets into the stretch. Isn't that perfect stocking

position in the goes ahead and kicks away from a recipe, right?

Who I thought did nothing wrong. You know, really was on the way

from True Valor. Yep.

And I thought chuvalo actually really nice showing with Fargo,

lynched in the in the in the mount there.

And so you got a little bit of a price in the third spot on the

trifecta there, but just a cool, a cool show for consecrated, I

think a recipe red absolutely will pick off a razor to coming

up here the rest of the year, but even, you know, it's

Interesting. You know we look at these we go.

It's classical Quest and that that that Trifecta.

Paid 196. 21 Turf races, man. That's for the, that's where the

money's at. Very cool.

And then somebody's upset races. It was like all day, you know,

because some of the dirt raises to add some good results.

Not maybe not the great pad is that or huge long shots.

But yeah, it was definitely. It was a day where like class

did technically class. Yes, right.

Yep. The class that we thought was

going to Did in class but yeah like yeah like classy horses.

Yeah, exactly right. But then you had some up that

results where you're like, oh okay, maybe my single, you know,

isn't gonna come home so yeah, I mean, I know that happened for

me at least with speak of the devil and, and obviously with

her much Rouge got to, you know, so there was a couple of verses.

I felt really confident about that that the fields were just

too good that day and then I said, obviously the cost of

crude was in the Manhattan you but you correct me, it wasn't

Jaipur and then Manhattan was are spread race a triple bond

comes through and this is this is becoming a trend in New York.

Chad Brown gives them out too many Franco and he wins.

They're hitting it over 30% together.

This was an opportunity in a slow paced for a guy like maybe

Franco to just get out front and stay out front.

We talked about that angle once in a while.

In these longer Turf races, Megan, what was your take on

Triple bomb in the Manhattan? I thought it was.

It was a Certainly a great effort for him.

I mean I love the fact that Chad actually, he actually spread the

love around more than you might kind of think, right?

I mean your baby, he goes through phases but especially

right now. A couple years ago, you might

think. Oh, he's always going to go to

Joelle, he's always going to go to Iraq, but he goes to, I ride,

he goes to Jose, he goes to now. Fluffy and pry.

He goes, so I think. Oh, he goes to, you know, give

Awards to Johnny B and so You end up actually.

I mean maybe it's just cause he has to so many freaking good

horses that he's gotta find. Plenty of riders to ride of but

I think that it's it's really incredible because those horses

they're formed his shines through and but many Franco is

certainly proved himself in New York circuit over the past

couple of years. You know he had to work his way

up and get to a bar like this but given the opportunity and

you love to see that given the opportunity, he's been able to

succeed. So I certainly thought that that

was That was nice to see them team up on an army to one on the

morning line. But yeah, I mean this we talked

about it before the show. This was like the Chad Brown

classic or something right in here and and to you know, to win

on a day. Like this granted, this horse

won at Belmont in the last year and a first ever get the name of

the race, go to molony. But then he went to the

Manhattan there and granted that was a good field as well.

But since then, he's just kind of tailed off.

So to see that horse come back and be able to get some of the

form that we had seen. Not only when he was over in

France at Shaun T and some of those other tracks.

But here in the US that he just looked like he had a hot streak

and then just nothing. And so to get back on top for

him. I thought was a really, really

good effort and certainly to get the win at this distance to

because It hasn't actually been his best, you know, the

interesting thing. If you, if you look at the split

times for Trevon in this race, the slowest ones, were the first

two. And then the, the quickest ones

with the last So many new the horse had it and was just going

to take the lead in and seize it and go for it.

And so the horse ends up winning by three and a half lengths.

Ran a sub 23 second to last quarter mile, and then a 23 and

to let final quarter that horse is flying at the end of that

race. So, very cool.

Run by him and then of course we had the Belmont that we've

already talked about. I think some of the other

headlines that are going on right now.

Megan I can't remember Churchill canceling for for heat.

It has been brutal here. The last two As I'm sure you've

had your own issues at your farm, with your horse has cooled

off. But, I want people around, you

know, the country, the world wherever you're listening to

understand. It essentially was about 110

degrees Fahrenheit, with the heat index in a lot of parts of

Louisville this weekend. It's a little over 40,

Centigrade, depending on where you're listening.

And so imagine what you've been to the beach and the sand is

very warm. Imagine what that does to the

dirt at Churchill Downs, into the, you know, to and for the

horses out there. And so I imagine a lot of it was

just being Be careful about, you know, both the general body heat

of the animals but also just you know they're got to put their

freakin feet in the ground and it's going to be really, really

hot on that on that dirt course and so it's, it's own.

Yeah, there's something there. I'm headed to the track

tomorrow. One of our guys, Mike Mills is

an easy bucket list trip, with his dad for Father's Day

weekend. Coming in from Texas.

He asked me if I could meet him at the track tomorrow and I said

absolutely I think Mike's probably listen to most episodes

of this show. There's probably two or three

other people maybe the oishi's in Or Isaac up in Maine.

But once in a while, I say, things like that about loud and

I realized, we really do have great fans all over the place.

And we're very, very appreciative and some of the

other? Yeah, yeah.

I've been trying to keep up with the results at least, if I can't

watch lives. So it's been, it's been kind of

a disappointing. I would have sworn that golden

Powell was like an easy easy winner and he did not get out of

the gate. Well, and then just had Nothing.

So he flopped it, ask it. I thought he was going to be

Wesley Ward's, best runner. So I think Wesley had one or two

others that have already run and neither one of them have one

run. I'm sorry.

Wesley, Ward being a one of the trainer's, the American trainers

that we see go over year after year and do very well over

there. I believe.

It's I Brad's first time over there and he's writing for

Wesley this year, but that certainly doesn't mean I think

he's a great Rider and Rusty Arnold said horse over there,

too. Unfortunately, did not win, we

will tomorrow, which is Friday if you're listening to this on

Thursday night but Friday Pizza. Bianca the Breeders Cup winner

for Chris Aqua menthe and spend arella for grab motion.

Both run in the coronation early Friday morning.

So in just a few hours I guess. And then slip stream for

Christophe Clemente in the Commonwealth.

That ask it on Friday so still a few more u.s. hopes, you know.

But real ask it's one of those. It's like the Olympics and that

way. Yeah.

This is from all across the world, the best of the best go

there. I mean, it truly is in its own a

world championships as well. So fantastic racing, I went once

when I was in college, we took a little trip with the universe

University of Louisville. Equine program, we got to go for

like opening day of Royal asket. Of course, we didn't like do

much and I think Animal Kingdom ran that day and he, okay

nowhere as well. But it was like early in the

day. It was like race to and that The

only horse that I really knew about at the time.

So I wasn't so ingrained in the, you know, handicap a and the

World Racing stage and all of that.

So the rest the day I was kind of like, well what do we do now?

Obviously there was racing to watch but it, I didn't know

anything about the horses that were going after.

So somehow I found my way into the Royal enclosure even though

I didn't have a ticket for that. So, yeah, they have the you have

these little like, kids, basically, and people were

wearing them. I noticed on one particular

side, Their chests. And so I just moved my hair to

that side and then just walked in like, I and it was perfectly

fine. So great.

I mean, ask for forgiveness not permission right here.

Oh absolutely tracks all the time.

And so yeah. So a bit more of the, the asket

circuit through the weekend, of course.

And it is a little like a Breeders Cup preview in June,

isn't it just, you know, for Turf races, of course, and the

thing, you know, it's interesting Megan and I thought

about this today, Yeah, I enjoy quarter horse racing but I don't

enjoy straight line interfaces. That's funny and I should

probably do the same thing. It is.

And I said, today on the air, I think ask it is a really nice

low sale, right? I mean, that's all it is right?

You know, I should probably get out for my own brain and I think

Dan Issel had a small stroke on the American American stuff.

All right, well, she is - I know you're here with us horse

racing. Happy hour or normal.

Thursday, spot. We are Audio Only this week

because Adults, have I would say, forsaken us and that's

essentially what's happened. We're gonna move into the

handicapping section of the show.

Now, we're going to go to Santa Anita for the first segment

here, three races out there. The debutantes in future Nebo

sponsored by fasig-tipton and then of course, the great to

Santa Maria, which is a follow-up to the Santa

Margarita. Good luck, making sure you

don't. Mix those up out there at

sanity, just silly. There's something that's like,

San Juan Capistrano and then there's the San Juan Clemente

and then the San Juans something else.

And Just good luck folks. It's the California races but we

will start with that race three out at sanity to the physics.

Hit the fasig-tipton debutantes. Five furlongs on the dirt 42

year old Phillies that's 100,000 dollar race listed Stakes here.

Megan did you land on anybody in the debutantes?

I thought this was one of the more complicated races.

I agree to talk about here, you know, obviously and this is a

theme with the two phase of Krypton stakes races for the two

year olds that we'll look at. But some of these horses are Our

never have never started before. You know, they are making their

debut in the stakes race. And so you have a lot of unknown

factors of that, but it's one of those things that it's, you

know, it's so short. It's a five for a long race,

right? You're not going that far.

It's not like you kind of have to give the horses start at five

furlongs or four and a half. Anyways and then you know, you

try to Edge em out to six or seven or something like that.

So essentially They still fit here.

You know, why not? Take the chance if you can be in

this race. So I went with the one on top

for Walter Solis who isn't having the best year, the best

meat, but this is the kind of race where you get some of

those. I don't know, let's say, like

more quarter horsey or like low, Sally type of trainers that end

up bringing horses. We're here for these types of

races that do really well. These short young, or sprint

races. I think can often produce a

result that you're like, wait, what?

Who is that? You know?

Like honestly if the six or the 732 one popped up here, you

could be like, okay, well that's just how it goes, at least in my

experience when I was out there in California, that's how it

was. So, I mean, I, I'm going to

spread if I'm using this race in my tickets and probably use the

One that you for John Sadler, because he's so good with

first-time starters, given her own Vasquez, a chance, which is

interesting her because he's spending some time out there but

it's not a rider that he usually does put on the three rousing

Jewel, for Steve's back, who's coming in from Golden Gate?

So granted a horse that's never raced on the dirt before.

Has only had one start. It was a win, but it was on the

synthetic. And then the five times regret,

who 62-54 George paraben, it's kind of the same thing, George

paraben 25% right now Walter Solis when I get 6%.

Right now, you know, I just, I think you can, you can make a

case for pretty much any one of these horses because it's, it's

just a crapshoot. That's the way it goes.

You know, there's two options either.

The 625 favorite wins it or it's a long shot and these types of

races. Yeah.

I do love the Tom's. Regret is one and multiple

tracks, right? And that 58 s.

That 58 seconds for six furlongs at at Churchill is really good.

Frankly, if that travels lately, you know, you see that 65 speed

figure. And then you see the finishing

time, you're like those two things are not congruent and so

something happened there. As far as the buyer.

I do agree with you though that the to, so, Stone silent,

absolutely interesting. Newcomer of the workouts appear

to be right in line with what you want.

And all the breeding makes sense.

There you've got an Indian Charlie on top, AP on the

bottom. And so, it's a, you know,

bloodline and so it's four hundred and ten thousand dollar

sale purchase. And so interesting, Florida

bread. And they dumped here in the calc

1. It's not racist, but I think

she's absolutely got a shot. But if I had to guess, it's

going to be X regret keeping that form going with Tyler basil

board. But if you want a newcomer, I

would lay it on Stone Street. Well, keep in mind to write like

the types of races that some of these forces come out of are

important as well. So the, it's good to see,

actually, because I believe the abbreviation for at least, the

one horse the five. 6 & 7 is the fasig-tipton sail out there in

California. Yeah.

Right. He's out there was a very first

year that they were having it at least at Santa Anita and it was

not a great showing or sale and the price is reflected that, but

obviously you can see like, for example, the one horse, they

bought that one for three hundred fifty thousand dollars

and I believe it is a two year old sail off to check myself on

this. I'm totally going off of like

memory here but the two-year-old Sounds like that, you know, OBS

being one of them to with the to Stone silent.

You get horses that show that are precocious, right.

They have to work. They have to have a good showing

at that two-year-old and training because they do train

or work rather Breeze at the sale.

So you see the high prices reflect that.

Did this or scored? Good.

Yes. Probably going to pay a lot of

money for it in combination, with a bunch of other things,

like Bloodlines and Confirmation, and, you know,

health and whatever. But you know, Oftentimes where

the horse comes from in that way or how much they paid for them

at those two year old and training sales.

I've new thing can be indicative of a good performance in this

type of a race. That's just a couple of months

after that year old and training sale.

It's only five furlongs, you know.

So look for that when you're handicapping as well,

specifically, in these types of races.

Yeah, and a reminder that a 76 buyer for rousing Jewel coming

out and Golden Gate. Man, that is a huge number out

of Golden Gate, so if you're looking In for the other major

player in there, might be three. All right, moving on to the

Santa Maria, Santa Maria, not Margarita.

That was when we go, this is this is a great to Milan to 16th

on dirt, for Phillies a three and up we will go to turns for

two hundred thousand dollars - Jewel.

And on anyone here, I thought it was between the three and the

four blue stripe from Argentina. Kind of disappointed in the

Breeders Cup distaff of obviously she was a big long

shot that At De Marche really Marsh Loraine.

I can't think or speak anymore because I'm pregnant I guess I

won that race. In the Breeders Cup is have

obviously done by Road isn't there about that?

Except ra the true scope was in that race.

So this is a horse who just did not get her her way, which was

obviously disappointing for her and she just didn't really do

much running. That being said the effort she

had in the sand. Margarita with Tyler basil board

was much, much better for her obviously an easier field to but

you do get some of the same contenders, like varda who's in

the sealed as well. And I think that she will

probably be able to repeat that effort.

So I went with blue stripe. We want to call bleep rides but

obviously that's a very different worse and the floor

private mission for Sean McCarthy and Juan Hernandez.

It does seem like this horse needs some time between races

though, and she's going to get that here.

I'm not too concerned about the layoff because She's done well

with it before. Obviously the works coming in

her fabulous. She was previously trained by

Bob baffert. Now, I'm garna Sean McCarthy to

me. She looks like the other horse

to use in here. So I thought this was pretty

jockey if I went a news and other one and it would be varda

but the odds reflect that as well with the, the 521 price.

So I wasn't straying too far outside of the top choices.

Yeah, I agree with you on blue stripe.

I'm going to try to beat private Mission here just because the

horse has a stretched out since that distaff.

And it wasn't, I mean, that was a weird distaff, you were either

in that front blanket group where you were nowhere to be

found, right? And she was unfortunately, part

of that, no. Where to be found, they bring

her back in that grade, one that you mentioned at seven furlongs,

then do those six furlongs in and doesn't win either of them

and finished a seven lengths off in the Las Flores.

You're right, though. Giving her time off, appears to

be what you needed. Great bullet workout.

Out just on June 11th, that five furlongs over the sanity, the

track. So if you're going to get

anything out of her stretching back out, maybe that's it.

I think the to bye-bye birdie is actually your better chance here

to get some value 521, Victor, Espinoza four-letter Powell, I

do love that. The two of them were here to get

57 percent right now. In a very limited samples.

I love those kinds of numbers though. 243 at the track has run

a buyer in the 80s at the track going to turns.

And so my sense is that she does like it at Santa Anita and so

I'm hoping No, we're jumping off of the turf here, so I'm going

to, I don't love that 16. And after lines, getting back to

the distance, this is only her. She ran in that Santa Margarita,

which we mentioned earlier. That blue striped one hoping

that she's in a little better form after a shorter race.

They're going back to the dirt but I'm with you, I think blue

stripe is the most likely winner.

There's rice and I don't I don't know that in my mind, it's very

close. Yeah, hi I think it's going to

be pretty jockey. They're all right.

Now we head out to race 11 at Santa Anita fasig-tipton,

Futurity five furlongs on the Dirt.

This is for two-year-olds another hundred thousand dollar

will list it stinks here and so the book end of the later card

here, Megan, where did you land in the Futurity?

I thought probably the three absolutely zero.

Who showed a good bit of speed on debut gone, four and a half

here at Santa Anita and then was able to win that race.

Obviously, as a heavy favorite 70 cents on the dollar Doug

O'Neill, Maria Gutierrez, very good and races like this and

this two-year-old Philly certainly looks like she could

be A contender. But obviously she is facing the

boys in here, which is going to be tough to do.

Now, we see this a lot with trainers, like Wesley War, Two

Ki, and then he'll read a lot of those young two year old Billy's

against the Colts. We're not a whole lot of concern

because most horses can often kind of be like like humans,

right? Like girls kind of mature

faster, a lot of the times mentally and sometimes you know

until the boys catch up physically two of you were the

tall girl in your class like standing over all the boys

before they caught up. Up.

It's kind of like that so I think absolutely zero certainly

can hold her own against this field.

I'm hoping especially at age, five price mean that's their

they're certainly giving this one.

A look the 92 Houma is the other Doug O'Neill.

The cold side by justify who also short speed on debut.

Also one on debut going against similar conditions there and I

thought it was a really good showing by both of those horses

and granted the filly And faster at the same same track same

distance but faster than the 92 homeless.

So obviously that the odds do reflect that it kind of the same

thing as the last phase of dipped in great Stakes race.

We talked about first time starter for John Stadler,

purifier. I think also deserves a look in

here because I think Johnson, excellent Horsemen he does

really old two year olds, who wins it 24% with those types of

horses. Well and with first-time

starters at 18% to so, you know, your You're possibly getting a

nice Superstar here. And they probably pointed for

this race, they paid three hundred and fifteen thousand

dollars for this one. I OBS.

Again that's the two-year-old and training sales.

So obviously he seemed to be a precocious type and some of the

practical jokes. Really, do have positive

aesthetically pleasing, athletic, build to them.

And so, I'm interested to see what we're going to see four

horses like that. It's, I'll tell you my good side

for people who have also for long.

They know, but if you're getting into the Show recently, thank

you. Good to have you along the.

I'm now seeing horses that I was a fan of turn into parents,

right? And so, she's seeing justify on

the list. Justifies the first derby that I

ever covered, how's that? And so, it's cool to see his two

year olds out there. Running around for a hundred

thousand dollars and and hanging out with.

I mean, really nice jockeys. Like Juan Hernandez that's been

good for that horse. Good for Tahoma, by the way.

Where do you, where do they get the name?

To homo from justify and Madeira dancer.

Oh, I don't know. I'm the last person to ask about

that. Since some of these, I'm not

like, for example, the seven is, smoked them Howard and the Cyrus

smoke them. I mean, that makes sense.

That's where you would get that name, right, midnight storm,

sired midnight, lightning, these, These are names that make

sense but we're to Homa came from home everybody.

Hey Is that double dual combination,

they may have won some big races in the past.

This is such a double meal thing to do though to just you know

put the Filly in here against one of his own other horses and

and try it out. I do think she's got an

incredible shot here. I think you know There's a

there's a burner dini in the one in Castle.

Knock for Ruben Alvarado. Who's actually winning a 15% in

a massive sample. Size at at Santa Anita doesn't

get his preferred writer for the Streisand Edward Maldonado.

But he's getting at 14% has been training at San Luis Rey, excuse

me. He hits a 31% with his first

time starters. I don't know if I was going to

play a longer shot. I think I would try Castle knock

in this race but I agree with you that absolutely zero is the

top play at Santa Anita. All right, so we're going to

head to another track. That Megan has lived close to.

You've lived close to all these because you grew up in New

Jersey, right? Ha ha ha, no.

But I thought here to make that joke.

Yeah, Mike's, not here. All right, so let's go to

Belmont. Megan's true home track, and

we'll check out the great tree poker which is a four year old

and up race over a mile. And a sixteenth on the turf.

That's actually a straight line race at Belmont.

That's how big that place is. It's for 250,000 dollars.

Feel like that was a good joke and you don't think it's funny

but Megan go ahead. Who do you like in the great

three poker? I think it's gonna be chalky.

I've got the one and the four. So Nathan is the one or mass

that, I'm not sure for Chad, Brown and fluffy on Pratt.

Who is his only run a second and a grade, 1 and a first, by five

lengths. With a big, big number in the

listed Stakes race the seek again, which ended up having a

pretty good field. And then the for public sector

who is also entered at Monmouth in a Stakes race there.

So I don't know exactly where I'll go say as of now, we don't

probably say Monmouth, but I don't know.

This is a horse that was really in the definitely, In Contention

to was in the top choices, at least, at Churchill Downs for

they Turf Classic on Derby day, and just went absolutely

nowhere. I he, in my opinion, had, you

know, not the best race, and they just kind of took care of

them. Obviously, the force was way out

of it, never really made a big move finish behind by 15 length.

So, You had some really nice horses in there.

You had Santa and you had a Dom. Oh, you had others and so I say,

I like this horse a lot, I'm personally going to draw a line

through that. And also keep in mind that this

was coming off a layout from November, you know, that's a six

month layoff from November to May.

And so it very well could have been that he needed the race,

you know? So I think I look sector whether

he runs at Belmont or whether he runs at.

Monmouth is certainly going to be a top pick for me.

Yeah, I totally agree. My-my, green sheets thumbs up.

Dad pick of the week is mazing. The one here. 625 Chad Brown

floppy and Pratt to them hitting at a crappy 34% at the Belmont

meat. And so I expect that horse to

absolutely continuous form. By the way, I joked about the mi

mi there at all. We had it listed as my on the

16th on the for on the show sheet which I this was one of

the races. I didn't put on the show shooter

can't believe it and do this, it's actually mild.

That's the one turmoil that we saw on Belmont.

Day as well. So I will land with my thumb up

the week Mason I will I will make my Green Sheet pick take

you pick the for public sector either at Belmont Farm.

Okay, I like that. I like that a lot.

Hey go, awesome. Okay.

I mean only one right, Hillary run away, right?

Yeah by locating horse. Yeah yeah.

So so just so folks, We're going to go to Monmouth next.

But first, we're going to go to Churchill the Monomoy girl first

ever running. And this is, this is a three

year old Filly race, which is interesting.

It's an overnight of Milan, a 16th on the dirt 160,000

dollars, which is their current payout for an overnight Stakes,

only five horses here, but I think Megan, I'll go first here

just because I got to go first at some point.

I imagine my hope for the, I have two things.

I have a hope for this price and I have an upset feeling for this

race. My Hope Is that Society?

Xiety the to horse wins for fun and injects, another really good

three-year-old Philly into this group, right?

So she's coming out. She only runs one time last year

at Keeneland as a to hold. It doesn't it.

She wins right over six and a half for a long.

Something goes on where she needs some time off.

They move into the as bus and barn.

And then she comes back over sloppy, go at six and a half,

furlongs in an optional, claimer here, short price ends up

winning by, you know, more than a length.

I would roll over xaro board, we get Tyler here, which is fine.

That's Obviously no step down at all but we're stretch it out for

the first time right? And and obviously Sprinter out

with Steve asmussen are 20% is a stat that we can stand by and

it's very good. So I'm hoping this daughter of

Gunrunner and we've seen a lot of good Gun Runners.

This year ends up being a star, but my sense is my, I have an

upset gut feeling about this, where the Phillies with to turn

experience already, get the win here, and I really like the for

image in Malvina for nacho Reyes.

I think she's actually the most likely winner here.

I think she's shown in her last. Last two times out, she goes

from a wet fast, 74, a long one turn race at Keeneland in a

maiden special weight wins that in April.

And I think I came was opening day actually and then comes to

Churchill wins over a mile and a sixteenth on Derby Day or is it

on up? Stay on Oaks day.

And so I'm really interested because she went from that,

she's already done the stretch out, she's already done that

thing. Now to Chris actually hitting it

14% he wins winter to winter at 17% actually and so interested

to see if James I'm of all people can keep this horse near

the front and then overtake someone in the stretch would

Imaging Melvina. So I'm going to go for and to in

this race even though I'm rooting for the to to be a

Monster. Yeah I mean I think she is.

I okay. Alright making her my Green

Sheet. Taking the we very nice.

So I really want to give one out and enter phrase finally but she

would be the other consideration obviously she is going from

Sprinter out like a mention. So Steve asked me said and when

I get 20% with that angle but I just I think that she she has

the makings of a Powerhouse, sometimes you wonder though.

Okay, she had a really great effort there at Churchill Downs

but it was in the slop granted though.

She's had the experience, she had the maiden special weight

when it heal and she had them allowance when already.

And so sometimes that experience can be.

So so helpful, she's bred to be a superstar.

I mean, she's gonna run her on the top.

Sired by Gunrunner her damn, the sired by tappet.

So the damn sire there and she's read by Peter bomb.

Red's owned by them as well. They kept her, so keep in mind

Peter bone, thoroughbreds, they've bred many so many good

horses but one of the ones most recently is authentic, right?

So this is the it just it seems like she's the type of for she's

got all the credentials to be really special and I think

they're putting her in here not with a, why not us angle but

with a yes right this this is a horse that's going to want more

distance. I mean her breeding is Screaming

for more distance, so she'll have to prove yourself but I

mean, she's already really the number, she's run have been

excellent. So I I'm going to, I'm going to,

I'm going to use the the to society and I think she's a

really, really excellent entry in here.

I agree, though. If there was another horse, I'd

probably go towards the for, or in case you're curious who

obviously does have the experience as well.

I don't know what happened. First time out, she didn't get a

yell at the fairgrounds, but since then, She's been really

successful so I like her as well.

I usually go with horses that have had consistently good

experience and spots. Like this granted.

Miss Yearwood has had some good experiences well but I feel like

she's kind of missed the mark a few more times than I would have

wanted to see granted, I'm an excuse obviously, the

black-eyed, Susan race because my God, Susan race, but I still,

I still like the to, in the core better.

Yeah, I like that. You went over my own accord or

two in that net made. Special way back in April for

Miss Yearwood there and it's interesting watching the jockey

colonies move around. Is there's a big day at

Monmouth, which we're going to talk about.

And guys, like James Graham getting major mounts in in

overnight stakes in the fifth race there, that will close the

pick for in the pick. Five of the early sequence at

Churchill, but it will also start the middle pick for on

that day, for night racing, which is very cool.

So, all right, and frankly, 80 like four or five.

Four. On Saturday so night racing will

probably be really, really nice. So hopefully, yeah, hopefully

lots of people make it after that.

All right, so the will head over to Monmouth.

It is a hassle preview day. We're going to handicap the

late, pick for it starts with Grace 11, the grade 3 Eatontown

Stakes. So my own a 16 on the turf or

Phillies and there's three and up there running for 150,000

dollars here. We see some names that I think

people will know including fluffy socks and Vigilantes way

some other horses in the group. Megan, where did you end up

here? Yeah.

So this is the Reason why you are seeing so many, you know,

names that are familiar both with horses jockeys and trainers

as well. If you follow Monmouth from

day-to-day, this is not necessarily the names that you

see but today or I'm sorry Saturday.

Hopefully a really important day there because it is kind of the

win and you're in day for Haskell day which is the biggest

day at Monmouth Park. And so all of these races that

we're going to talk about, not only is it an all Stakes pick

pick? Great, it takes before, but

they're also all indications of horses that you could see, it

will be the winning horse. And in some cases the first and

second place horse have their entry fees, paid their star

fees, as well for the various races.

So this race, the Eatontown correlates With the Wind star

Matchmaker which is a grade 3 on the turf so that's obviously the

nine for a long four horses three and up.

So anybody that's in any one of these races is hoping that

they'll get to return back to Mom.

Meth or maybe say they're in trade and get the big money on

Haskell day, but I went with the 6 on Top Ice Princess Grace, who

I certainly think has the ability.

I think she's had a lot of rough races in her past couple.

You know she's not broken from the gate very well last time she

was checked and was in a pretty tight.

She was obviously favored that day in The Matriarch.

So I think she's favorite in a grade one.

Last time she just got unlucky. She certainly has the capability

to win a grade 3 race which this is she does have to come back

from off a layoff. So obviously you wonder is the

fitness there but Mike's didn't bring horses back at 19 percent

with an extended lay off. She's got the experience here at

Monmouth. She's won here before.

She likes this distance and her numbers are good.

So I think Princess Grace has a chance here.

Or two to get the slight Edge. The seven worse is a Mista, but

interestingly, I do think if you look at those horses past

performances that she prefers a little bit more given the

ground, I could be wrong and I don't think you're going to see

that. And I did check the weather and

I don't think they're supposed to see a lot of rain and it is,

in fact, beautiful there. Right now.

I wish I was at Monmouth today, great because it was like, it

was like 82 or something. Like perfect Beach weather.

And I'm sitting over here, just trying not to go outside.

My animals are like water, which I did obviously, but I'm like,

oh my God. If I had to leave their

condition one more time. So interested to see Le Mista

see if she can, you know, is okay with that little bit of a

harder beachier Turf course. And then obviously the eight

fluffy socks, who that's one leaves a lot to be desired.

You know he's no trust She's one of those horses that just oh,

most gets there. Oh, most gets there and her

running style, is probably why? Right.

She's a deep closer. So she runs on a real estate

from time to time. Granted, those margins are very

slim. I mean, it was a second by a

half second by 3/4 of a length. So she is right there and she's

been in some grade 1 grade 2 races.

She also can certainly do well here and you see Chad Brown and

many Franco team back up. So if you like that combination,

And that can be your horse, there are.

I think, I think there's, I don't know, I think it even Pace

projection from like closers two stalkers, two frontrunners in

here. So there's a lot of different

every Fair. Yeah.

And it seemed like something where, like, oh, they're she's

not gonna have any Pace to run a Tor.

Oh, this is, you know, loan speed or whatever.

So yeah, yeah. I think I'm gonna go with the 6

on top. Yeah, the last thing you said

actually is Is a reason that you could put Princess Grace on top

because she is a balanced running, right?

She's someone that can be out front.

You can stalk from about mid pack, whatever it is and so she

can absolutely be a problem. I put fluffy socks on top

because when a horse runs second in these kinds of interfaces, it

just seems like they win every third race.

Right? And she's 4413 Lifetime.

And it just seems like the kind of thing that she's going to

jump up and do, it makes me realize how much she one is a

two-year-old because this year, she's opportune, she was 146 as

a three year old man, she won three times.

Is a two-year-old. That's pretty incredible.

Actually, I landed on the one Vigilantes by in the second spot

with Paco Lopez ran lost by a neck.

Last time I lost by a quarter length or seven and a quarter

length before that over a yielding go at Monmouth in

September this is second time off the lay off this horse for.

Claude McGee, does anyone call him clawed?

By the way I do think fluffy socks is the most likely winner

and and I mentioned this earlier but Brown and Manny Franco are

hitting at 36% together. That's pretty incredible.

So, I actually ended up 81 in this race.

I think if you made a case that this is a spread race, I think

it's totally legitimate. I think a horse like alms for

example, coming in off of a bunch of not great runs, but if

it if she jumped up in one here, would you would you totally be

shocked? I don't think so.

Stolen holidays coming out of the Vogue a at Belmont Rouge

year, our flash drive high opinion.

Those are all really, really good horses.

You get Jose Luis Cano there. I mean, I think there's a lot of

horses here who can win, but I Land on the 8th of a one in that

race. So we'll go to the Pegasus next

will a little Texas Texas raised 12 late pick three starts here.

This is the Haskell prep for three-year-olds.

My own a 16 on the dirt 150,000 dollars here.

I do think the morning line favorite is the most likely

winner Megan but what save you I went with, let's say, I want the

40 degrees. Okay.

Yeah. Over the two, I believe.

So I liked ability. It seems like the number or the

date rather that they have for this horse on gelding, him was

back in. That's a December of 2012 on.

So this is a horse to started his career at Saratoga he

debuted there which is always tough to do and in fact he was

only seven to one so or is that they probably had high hopes for

they gave him some time off. I would assume with a horse like

this right? You you always hope you're going

to get the next stallion you always hope you've got the

potential for that exaggerated so I don't think you tried to

kill these horses that you know unless you have to so that could

be You either like physically. So sometimes the, you know, the

testicles are one maybe undescended or something, or

sitting a little bit higher. And so they might technically be

classified as a cold, but sometimes they're in a

comfortable spot. And so the horse won't extend

all the way because they're it hurts, you know?

So that's something or behavioral wise.

Sometimes, you got to work that just will not focus.

And sometimes over said, it's like dangerous to handle and be

around because they're, they are so snobbish and so there's

there's a number of different reasons why you do it.

But it is always for the benefit of the horse or the people

around it. And I feel like since they did

that, since they guilted any game back in March of next year,

they gave him some time off. There might have been another

issue too. He won.

He won. And then he finished third in

his first effort in the Integrated Security, to the

Peter Pan. Until we, the people who just

Ran off that day. So I think he, I think he

deserves to be the favorite in here.

It looks like a horse that's really, really promising and I'm

excited to see him in this spot and then the to home brew for

Brad Cox, who ran last time out at Oakland Park and a Stakes

race and one and has that some good experience himself.

You know, he did lose two dash attack, he was the favorite that

day in the Smarty Jones for the track was pretty sloppy that day

but if you take that race out, he's nearly Flawless.

So so I am curious to see how he does and would Dash attack.

I didn't use them because at I kind of excuse that effort for

Brad Cox horse because I think Dash attack needs an off track.

I think he likes a sloppy track, totally great.

Yep. Totally giving you three for

three other what? He's 0 for 3, on the fast track.

So, if I must airframe a lot of rain at Monmouth, I don't really

know if Dash attack is the horse that I'm going to go with.

Well you and I are totally the same here.

Yeah. And I think you can draw an

obvious to line to do the two losses for electability first

time going, and it's over Turf. And then in the Peter Pan

because it's wet, neither of those either, by the way, was

with Lasix. He gets Lasix back here and he

should like the distance. I agree with you based on the

breeding and then the same for Homebrew, 343 over fast.

Go over to over Waco and so I think he's very ready for the

spot, I totally agree with you and I landed very short here for

and to, in the This, which is the the Haskell prep here and so

I, you know, not always that you and I land on the same two

horses, but I feel a lot better now that we have.

And so we'll move on to the late double starting in verse 13.

Here, the grade 3 monmouth's takes a mile and an eighth on

the turf for three and up a hundred fifty thousand dollars

in line here. And by the way, I'm obviously

predicting a giant day for Manny Franco and that could continue

here in the mistakes, but what it says - on about this one,

Yeah, this is a really important race because it is the prep for

the United Nations, which is a great one on Turf worth 600

thousand dollars. So it's kind of the other

feature race on Haskell day, the turf version right for horses, 3

years old and it had a Breeders Cup winning in and all kinds of

things. Yes, right.

Yeah. Well, not this year, not this

year, historically, ottoman, but it's not a British company read,

at least, not listed this year, but but yeah, but it's always an

important race. And it's, it's one that you, you

know, Winning a grade one. Is a stallion, making race is a

frankly prize. And if you win the United

Nations, it's very likely. Your ownership is going to

figure out a way to get you in the Breeders Cup.

Yes, right. Yeah.

So I went with the three horse, as I mentioned public sector who

also is the one that centered at Belmont.

I really do think that you, excuse, that less effort, he has

run into some very nice races before he finished.

Fourth in that grade, one effort in the Hollywood Derby, I don't

know that shipping out to do. Marv, maybe that's what he, you

know, wanted to do per se, I think he runs a little bit

better on the East Coast which you've seen in his form, he

still ran. Well, I mean he finished fourth

just beaten by a length and blanket finished that day, but I

think you just draw a line through that last race.

I'm really just banking on the fact that he just wasn't right

that day and I think you probably needed it for Fitness.

So coming off of that, I think public sectors or stew Beach and

then the six were sacred life for Chad Brown.

I'm Happy to see him at a track here, like, like Monmouth

because one party one over this racetrack, but he prefers firm

ground and last time I think, you know, he didn't get that, he

had a yielding Turf course, he. He's a pretty consistent horse

in his own right to, I mean, I say he doesn't like firm ground

but then he won here at Monmouth, over a good Turf

course, and then Aquila and over a good Turf course here in a

nice third, with one of the best numbers of his career.

That being said, I think, Does better over a firm ground, but

it just seems like, no matter where they run him, he brings

his a game. So, I think you certainly have

to look at sacred life. I just preferred some of the

efforts that public sector had given in some of his races.

Yeah. So lose long shot of the week is

in this race, believe it or not because both of those horses are

absolutely worthwhile. I hear you.

I really like hidden stash here at 12:45 in the morning line.

If you look at his numbers, I think.

Think the move to terpenes actually been really good for

this course. So some of you may remember

hidden stash having run in the Kentucky Derby, insofar as the

horses hitting the board, I get it.

So five runs four times hitting the board but in really good

company. Actually Saran optional playing

their last time out here at Churchill Downs with in three

lengths of the winter rain. In the opening, verse overnight

at Churchill Downs, over a mile finishes losses by ahead, and I

don't know that he's 15 to 1. If he wins that race here.

I think that there's a chance that actually he's in a

different spot. Runs at Keeneland over over over

the dirt in the middle. There is nowhere to be found

before that runs Third Run, second before that both of those

over the turf at Tampa and we've seen actually weirdly we've seen

some Cutters come out of Tampa and went on Belmont Stakes day

or intercourse. I'm wondering if we don't see

another one here being said, I campus the track for me in the

winter time, I love their Turf racing Lassiter person and I

think it's the maidens on the turf.

Okay, yeah. My gosh, one of my favorite

types of races to bed in the wintertime.

Awesome. So there you go.

And so and I think we're seeing some of those results as well.

The spring. And so I think he's due to pick

off one of these. I don't know that it's this one.

I agree with you. I'm a little more of a public

sector than a sacred life person.

Because in this race, I like sacred life, five weeks breast.

I like public sector. S off the layoff.

They both, you know, public sector in a huge schedule.

Last year. If he can regain any of that

form from last year, it should easily handle this group.

But yeah, I think hidden stash it.

Root of that is due to pick up one of these fields and I love

that 12:45 price. I don't know that Hector Diaz

gets it done but I love that video number is is shipping him

in for this one and so hopefully we get a big number on him and

so I landed 11 6 and 3 in the in the Monmouth States getting rid

of whom. Do you like how the the five

ever dangerous at least as of right now, the name ever

dangerous. And then doesn't have a rider

and like saw that was just a gift, what's lie?

What's, what's Wild is that horse?

Should have a rider because all of the numbers make sense for

that horse, except for the graded Stakes number for George

Weaver, right? It doesn't get out of the gate.

Well yeah, I mean yeah I need some serious gate Riders,

something to add blinkers, take them off, I don't know you know

without a hundred pounds on his back he might actually just run

better than old. Yeah.

Just bring it to be just fine there so then we move on to the

Salvatore Mi is the last race of the day.

The 14th Grace. It's a grade 3.

It's 150. Thousand dollars to the person.

It's a mile on the turf. So it's a start to finish their

of the one milder course at Monmouth Park.

It is for three-year-olds and up.

We know some names in this race - I'd Hartwell Charlie mind

control. Of course, she'll spite is

running on the dirt helium is here.

Who knows that? I'm who wants some other races?

Okay, let's start there then Megan.

What is what do you think? Roger eye Fields.

Thought process is here for show spite to the on the dirt and

this one. And I could not tell you, I

could not, I mean, this is the worst that one, that finally got

the grade 1, they were so elated at Keeneland, going a mile over

the Turpin. The Maker's Mark mile, which was

a huge huge performance that day.

Yep. In fact, beat Mason resource.

We talked about earlier. Yep it's good.

Like straight is also a good one.

I mean that field was loaded and you know last time was in that

same kind of weird race and in once and it didn't come back to

win in his Ray said he ran last weekend and so I'm crossing that

one out for a few horses. His own leader treatises that, I

can see were December 20. 21 I go through Park, we went a mile

and 70 yards and he finished seventh beaten by 12 lengths.

Also Eccleston Park. Just before that January 2021.

He went price of 2 Theta over the dirt.

Oh yeah, right and finished fifth beaten by Thanks.

So the only tutor traces that I could see are not great.

So, you know, I think that that December reason might have been

over the depite. You might be.

You might be right? Yeah.

It doesn't say but he's an excellent.

Right, well usually that just means off Turf but yeah.

And so yeah, where is right? He's 0 for 2, he's 1 for 2 on

synthetic and I'm seeing the Woodbine race below that in July

of 20 where he The grade three Marine this horse screams to

Peta. This horse screen is Turf.

I just, I'm really, I would love if someone anyone covering this.

Please find Roger actual to ask you why?

This course is on the dirt. I would really honestly I would

really love to understand the motivation here because this is

a five-year-old intact horse. Yeah.

Well I mean this is a this is a legitimate this horse could

breed. He's won six hundred and forty

thousand dollars in his lifetime.

He's a great one winner right? Am I wrong about this?

I know you're right. I mean speightstown was a dirt

horse himself, so you've got that for a sprinter but but

yeah, I don't know. I just it seems like this is not

a dirt horse to me. So yeah no one holds it against

candy ride by the way that his offspring run, well, everywhere

here, I've been so it's I don't know why they would hold it

against Real spice, any that his offspring, you know, that he

runs Berthold Indian spice, some that he has a son that runs

really well on the turbine. I don't know this one, I don't

understand. I'm picking it up.

Set here Megan. Would you like though?

I want the three and the one mostly because I just wanted to

see Mike's reaction when I picked her up Charlie.

Unfortunately, I don't get to see that but that is totally my

paper. So I can't can't lie to you but

but yeah, I'm gonna say paper, I mean, iPad 2 because let's be

real hooped handicapped on paper anymore.

Even even I don't do that anymore.

That - yeah. But yeah, I think, I think it's

between mind control. Who don't know what's happened

to that horse. He's just kind of tailed off,

you know, he was a six-year old horse now, but he was so

dominant for a while and I don't know.

I'm just hope we can get back, but the fact that he, the pain

Derby being a mile there, he won that one.

Just barely. And then previously, his races

have been sprint races one turned sprint races, you know.

So the to turn my Oh, Pam, I don't know.

I think hot rod Charlie just has that while he's only, you know,

141 over this particular distance.

Typically he's gone a lot further and has done well, like

his one of his better efforts in his career.

Probably his best ever besides. Pennsylvania Derby was the

Belmont Stakes, the household, her best.

Okay, yeah, and so I don't know how I feel about this distance

for him but I feel like I've liked it a little bit better

than mine control. I don't know.

It's I kind of hated this race. Just overall Do you like Mike

Smith being on for her on trial here?

Yeah, yeah I don't I don't mind that at all.

You make one plenty of great races at Monmouth.

And so I think it's only an upgrade for sure.

I'm so I'm going upset here and one of the reasons is just the

the state of current high-end horse racing in that this horse

goes to the Arabian Peninsula and then trains in Southern

California and has to go to New Jersey.

And we don't have the luxury liner airplanes right now for

horses. So this horse had to ship to, to

New Jersey, either in, essentially, a container on a

FedEx plane, or they had to put them on a truck and I don't like

either of those for this horse. And so I'm wondering, it would

be a plane for sure. 100 agree, I agree with you and I'm going

to go ahead and I'm going to take mine controllers, be

training in Belmont who did not show up the last two times over

one turn in the Carter. And in the Churchill Downs, I'm

going to assume the Pump is going to happen to Hot Rod.

Charlie the last time, that the mind-control went to turns at a

mile, was that Parks wins? So, not a huge upset.

By the way, in that race, he beats Silver State and beats

Warriors, charge you beats decent horses.

So give me mind control. Not a huge upset.

That's Fletcher, is Johnny be an upset.

Nonetheless, if HRC chases a bunch of money, I think you

could actually might get 722 on my mind control for me, would be

an absolute slam dunk. And so I'm going a little bit.

An upset in the Salvatore mile, which is the prep for the, the

markup on July 23rd. So they all right.

Yeah. Well, it is Monmouth is awesome.

As I think it is, it's a fun track.

You really should get us down, is so cool.

Like, if I had to pick a place to Summer it would be either

Saratoga or Monmouth. I mean that's wow.

I like Delmar the few times that I've been but I'm an East Coast

girl. Really, you know, sure.

So I think probably it would be one of those two places.

I love the area surrounding Monmouth and the track, it's all

the people. There is cool.

I'm sure Haskell day is awesome. I think this is the day that I'd

like to go yeah for sure. You got to be a little less

crowd, the Racing's awesome you know 14 freaking racism the

card. Like I think I would really love

him. So that's a whole thing by the

way, I wanted to make a couple of announcements on the show.

If you've made it this far, you are the people that are most

likely to show up to these. He's things.

July 1st is a Friday. Its leading into the Stephen

Foster weekend. We will be doing the noon to 3

show on ESPN. 680, live at Churchill Downs, the top of

Section 3, 22, our cigar sponsor, our folks, at a, single

barrel, cigars will be out there with us.

We'll be announcing all of our new sponsors for the fall,

leading into the Clark and essentially obviously, through

Breeders Cup. So if you can join us at

Churchill Downs on July 1st, we'd love to see you and then of

course we will be up there two-thirds of us.

For July 9th, for the, for the Indiana Derby.

Come say hi to me, when I'm up there for the, the Indiana Derby

hanging out up there as well. And I'm so it's going to be a

great summer, this this year, hanging out both for that.

Stephen Foster Friday on July first.

And then, of course, for the Indiana Derby, Megan, how I have

to ask, how are you doing with this heat in pregnancy?

I'm trying not to leave my house truly.

No, I can't. I can't.

To do this thing. So that's my only that's the

only thing I could possibly do. I is it my horses and get them

all ready for the day. Check them.

Make sure they have water food, whatever fly, whatever, fly mask

and spray in the morning before it gets hot really early and

then I don't touch them until about 10:00 at night and then

they have dinner because it's just too hot.

So I assume they're smart enough that they find shade the whole

day essentially. Yeah.

Yeah, they've got shade to go. Yeah.

Right now. Why do they have?

They don't there's nothing worse than like eating when you're

hot, you know? And I think the same goes for

horses to so L, there's some people are like, what you wait

until 10:00 at night to be here. Believe me, they are thrilled

about it but that point they actually get back to feeling

like they're not, you know, inhale.

So that's that's the better time for all of us.

It's funny that you mentioned that.

I don't think I had to dinner tonight.

I just wasn't like, no, I'm good.

That's why everyone near the equator US Open.

I imagine everyone. That's why all of us, all of us

who lived in Michigan are just so big.

Yeah, there you go. All right, well, good luck to

everybody this weekend. This has been the horse racing

happy hour Megan Good Show and I will see you tomorrow morning

bright and early. Of course, if you are listening

tonight you can check us out tomorrow 10:00 to noon on a

sports, talk with Dan Issel. In my prep, we've been doing a

Friday segment with a with Dan Previewing these races.

And so the good thing Megan, I love this because I do all the

prep tonight and I don't have to prep for the show tomorrow.

See there you go. Two for one deal, two for one.

Megan is a bird in hand for me. They go folks but this has been

the horse-racing happy hour. We will see you next week, I'll

miss it.
