you put out there? How did that first?

Pick five go. So we had a little nine dollar

pick five last weekend in. Indiana, and a horseshoe,

Indianapolis and forefinger ninety three dollars.

So that's kind of a good return on investment.

Mike unfortunately, only had two horses in the last and he played

it for another four bucks. What if it's three bucks?

But here we are and not was good.

It was a good day up. There we are due for a a visitor

So we're walking with Paula, dukkha to towards the The

Paddock which is kind of at the top of the first of the, top of

the stretch at Indiana at Horseshoe Indiana, Indianapolis.

And in somebody goes somebody's at the betting window turns he

Boston? It was like the key top moment

that would we so Rachel's ready. I've been told so get her up.

Hey, let's get, let's get arrested.

Oh, she's in the Mountain Dew Studios.

I'm a, there it is. There she is.

I'm getting hot and spicy chicharrones.

I'm drinking a Bud Light because I'm class.

I'm all class glass on the show. Rachel, Rachel joining us.

We were just bragging about how good the racing was on Saturday.

And I think for us, you know, we're sitting around afterward

and you get the news hits a record handled by Frankly

something like 20% more than you've ever done in a single

day, over seven, half million. I mean, just you guys had to be

thrilled. Yeah, we had an amazing day

honestly, and we had kind of a bet between us who like, what

the numbers were going to be 31 and Eric Eric always win.

He's such a dork about that stuff.

Like that's the job. Yeah.

Right. Eric if you don't know is the

general manager that's his title, right?

He's you know me yeah. Yeah.

He's my cousin. Jerome a major racing.

Yeah, so he won but I was shocked at some of the pools

like The Schuster had had like a million dollars in.

It was cool race. Yeah, I don't always get the

chance to really watch but I put like we're about there.

I like it. All right, I'm with you.

I'm here to chill. Okay.

I thought my body was like in the Snapback after the kid and

after four months of like being in denial I was like, well guess

I better start working out. I've been in denial about my kid

for almost 20 Seriously, the next time we're together.

I might have to show you the pictures of what I look like

before. We had our first kid, I would

love to see that. Yeah, I was I got married.

I was 155 pounds. What?

Yeah, that's Kenny. Yeah.

That was being a 6th grade I think.

Yeah I was real my wife and I weighed the same thing when we

got married. Wow.

Yeah. Now I'm twice the man, she

married. My name is your handle and just

Tons of amazing racing and fun. And like, I heard you guys just

talk about Paul of dukkha, as I float away and honestly he did a

great job. I think he liked lost signal

once which sucked, but there were little things behind the

scene, obviously, that always happen when like a big day, but

overall, it was a huge success. And if the little things that

nobody notices is the only thing that goes wrong the day on a day

like that, it's right, you count as a win.

So, we're getting a lot of complaints about us.

Not gonna do like, Hepatic pick because, you know, I'm one for

one, you know, big for me. So many complains you guys.

Like my inbox has been flooded just flooded now, but you guys

all ourselves. That's right.

That's right. It was it was a great day.

It was fantastic. Got, you know I want to start

though just because mr. Wireless.

This is not on the show sheet. I'm going off offshore up here

so you know messing with Louise hope playing but Mr. Wireless

coming back and getting the, you know, Was the winner of the

Indiana Derby. Last year comes back.

Push the Sean back aboard looked fantastic.

I mean, what is it about? Is it Deshawn at that track?

Is the mr. Wyles the track.

A little bit of both Rachel. I mean, what's the magic there?

I think is a little bit of both because honestly, I had him like

I think 3rd 2nd or 3rd and I was excited that he was coming back

and I love the story of it and obviously, I was rooting for

him. But when I got down to looking

at the race, like the past performances and stuff, I was

like, I don't know, man, he hasn't this is at it was a tough

race. I was only it was a shorter

filled with a shorter feels of the day.

So I had a, I mean, it was a nice race but it was a, it was a

tough one. They a lot of those steaks came

up to, and I was like, you know what?

He has been racing really to form lately.

I was like, I don't know what he's gonna do.

And man, did he make me? Look stupid.

And I was happy though, because I, you know, if you got a pick

and a guy like Brett Calhoun, who was just a nicest guy, when

you have mr. Rose, here's easy to talk, to,

always good to give interviews when Nancy and I went back to

Churchill and Introduce me to him.

And it was just it was a good time and she did Shawn you know,

back up. So that was it was a cool story.

Those are the ones where you're like a that's okay, it beat out

of that question. Talking about the Sean real

quick because he is one of the local jockeys are.

He's probably the most she probably girls most well-known

local jockey I would say. So I mean especially recently

like getting that milestone in the last couple of years, he had

the George Woolf award and stuff like he's really and you know a

lot of those things. People have contacted me for so

Jimmy Mac's gonna give me a little percent.

He says Go Make It Rain. I asked him to be on this

podcast so he's he went and drove back up to since it over

to Cincinnati so he couldn't do it.

But yeah definitely just like a really what's the story?

What's the Sean story though? Because if people don't know who

this guy is like 59 510, he's 511, he's 50, he's 511, this is

not be and he's a he's a He's a black gentleman.

Anyhow, he's not like a, you know, typically, when we see

ethnic people, they have maybe some Caribbean background or the

he are there from Panama like, no, he's like, just like, he's

like a, just a normal. Black African-American guy

dominate the jockey basketball games, and he's talking about an

African Americans in the sport like when he started.

Because, I mean, I'm not trying to put the p on blast, but the

man's 50 years old, I guess you guys aren't seriously.

Yeah, and I asked them I said last month.

A long time ago I was like black don't crack.

That's a that is a like us first of all a compliment, right?

And he was like yeah somebody's trying to tell me it wasn't.

I was like that is the most best compliment give it.

Look at us. Why you wrinkly skin people 51

years old? Yeah.

Talk about that man. Does not look 50 first of all,

but when he first started he said I was like, majority-black

jockeys. And now there's he Nate can name

a handful that are successful and you know he and he's just as

a nice guy like he's literally just so Hard working.

And he's so like, 'hey, you know that he's giving you the truth

in the best ride that he can and like, if something goes wrong.

I mean, I've heard the stewards up.

They're like they're like dashon, what happened?

And I've heard to try and say, hey man, I came over or it was,

you know, totally my fault. I didn't mean to Bubba, blah.

Like, he'll tell you if it's his fault.

He'll tell you of his other forces.

Well like you can just trust the Sean to, like, tell you, what's

up? It's just he's just that kind of

guy and that's his story. See grew up at the racetrack

with his dad was a steward and I got to meet his dad, which I'm

like so excited, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met as

well. They're literally two of the

nicest people I've ever met in my life.

Well, we gotta get him on the show because I gotta ask him.

Like the first time said, they said, hey, let's want you want

to ride a horse in this race? I mean, they've had it.

Look at him like he was praying. I mean, thanks for that guy.

Yeah, like I'm yeah, thousand winds for I mean, that is like,

that is unbelievable. Rarefied air for any jockey but

that's like top 20. There's only 20 people in the

history of the entire sport of the how few those 6,000 or

steaks win. So I felt really good for him.

Yeah, but getting to mount on mr.

Wireless. And then who, by the way we use

this one or two of our horses in the pick five and then just

touch a price to get that win added yet aware.

He's in a you know an Indianapolis where he's so

successful. It was pretty cool.

You could just like you mentioned, right?

You could see the By a lot of space.

It's absolutely genuine. Yeah, he's such a good guy.

Yeah, we'll get him on. He said he would do it next time

if he wasn't traveling. All right, so let's then we're

going to look at a couple races real quick.

Let's start with Ivar's, impressive return.

And this is, you know, a big name for you guys to get.

So, let's look at our bars run right now.

Maybe, maybe, baby, it's coming. Listen as I got it.

We got it. We got a new producer.

I don't know what we're going to call him yet.

We're going to just call him by his name or what, but we'll get

them there. We will figure it out but he's,

you know, figure out so organic. Yeah, it's all it's all coming

together, you know? Alright.

So here it is. We're going to add it to the

Stream. And I've are comes back on top.

Alright so the return of I've are definitely a calculated spot

right there, right there for them, I'm sure great great run

right there. Louis we talked about this

before. You know I think horseshoe

benefited from the lack of turf racing at Churchill Downs.

In some of these Turf races getting some of these horses to

ship in for this kind of spot. I've are just read third in a

Breeders Cup grade. One raised comes back in this

one. Softer spot to land.

We really liked him coming in when we saw those early,

fractions, my Q&A. I were watching.

I thought this is over. Yeah, it'll probably over 30

him. Yeah. 30% off those longer

layoffs. And so it just made sense that

he was going to come back. But you know what sometimes it's

you know the classy horses would classical class on this show and

it was, you know, nice and comfortable.

He got I think he needed the race, which is interesting and

he won it and sometimes I'm sure if you're a Trader, you feel

really good about that, so kudos to them, they brought us back to

the right spot. Rachel, that was a new track

record. I just I forgot.

Yeah, yeah. Nine.

It was, I mean, I'm asleep. I like almost a second, right?

Yeah. Just like yeah, it was very,

very rarely. The old track record was, what

it was .49. The other one was like, it was

like a fry. It was like half a second.

Yeah. Yeah.

But anyway. Um, yeah.

And that pool was really, really nice.

And it was the buzz about him. I mean, it's just, that was a

classy guy. Classy connections.

It was awesome. You know, to talk to him about

where that horse was gonna go and him wouldn't NG by, you

know, doing so well. I mean I can't I don't even know

what to say. You guys kind of hit it all.

It was there was so much buzz and he was so classy.

And getting that those kind of horses in our race has just made

me even more proud about the evening.

And it was a five price on that horse.

I mean, yeah, that feels like free money, which is

interesting, but yeah, that was a close one of those.

I think a lot of people that cross country pick five will

probably try to key on use him either as a single or whatever.

But he did not disappoint. I will probably see him at

Kentucky Downs. Next, I would assume something.

Yep. Yeah.

One of the half million dollar race is down there.

He said that that he didn't know what he was going to do between

breeder. He said he's going back to the

Breeders Cup this year, so it is going to be and when surprise me

there are people waiting inside Kentucky down.

So he can actually apply for the British now.

Yeah, that's where he goes in between there.

And then, you know, we had another big name that actually

showed up to Indiana and ran. This is the winner of The

Black-Eyed. Susan Interstate Daydream and

she rallied to win the Indiana Oak.

So let's see if we can pull. This race up.

It's coming. I promise.

Rachel deep in the chicharron. That's right.

We're going to add it to the stream.

The remix I'm good, baby. You can do it.

There it is Interstate daydreaming.

So seriously, how many of us were like runaway wife?

Wow, what a move. She's got this, no questions

asked. And then the classic Brad Cox

horse, go ahead and just re rallying somehow, I mean just

unbelievable. And so I actually only played

Interstate daydream in this leg of the pick five.

I think Mike was the same as me here and that's because I didn't

believe What maker was doing with his horses like the on the

short on the short rest and it paid off for me to the first

stage race. He won.

That one comes in second. This one made me a little

nervous about what the Indiana Derby, but maybe Kenny McPeak.

Yeah. So he I'm sorry.

No, you're good, you're good, but yeah, it do.

He he did. He pushed all the right buttons.

Last week. I talked about Dom after this

and he was totally right on about where he shipped classic

Causeway for example. And so no.

It's that was that was a filly. You love this with young

fillies, if they're if they just Want to be out front if they

just want to win and it's very clear that Interstate Daydream

is get it. She's gonna pick off some more

races this summer because she just wants to win.

She probably hasn't been in that position before where she gets

out front. Then suddenly there's another

Philly next year. She looks over like, oh, oh

really. Oh, that's what we're doing.

She just takes back often and so those are those are fun moments

to watch when you just assume your Pick 5 is dead at the

eighth pole and then really she responds.

She turns out that kind of experience, but yeah, she's a

she's one to watch for sure. Rachel anything to add to that?

Not about Interstate. Daydream.

I mean, for Andrew just doesn't disappoint when he rides here.

I mean, he's right every time I mean, he just crushes, but you

know who I thought ran a pretty big Grace.

Given who she was with was Silver Leaf, Brian horny,

Hernandez her. So really looked really good and

I think honestly, I'm gonna watch her next out because she

thought her and run away wife kind of got kind of wide and

then she sort of went in between and I think that kind of that

move sort of kind of threw her off a little bit.

But I'm really interested to see where she goes next out.

There's been some nice Phillies that have come out of this race

and Randon some nice races other time.

So I'll be interested in your Silver Leaf in The Paddock.

All of us, I mean there are four of us standing down.

There were like that is that's an impressive fill She's poised

to run really well today and she did.

She look really good and then we hinted at this a little bit

before, but now we'll go ahead and see where actuator comes

back and wins the Indiana Derby. There was a, it was a stressful

moment before we get to the race.

This is what's going on. I remember what the name of the

horse was that I had, but Louise hoarse voice horse wins.

He wins a pick five if my horse wins, we both win the pick five

but Louis wins last money and of course, Louise cheering against

me winning and that's both having a good day.

Did you guys have the favorite? The 77?

I can't remember. That's actor.

Yeah, Best Actor. Yes.

Yeah, yeah, why I had four horses in the derby because I

thought it was actually a little more needless parchment.

I thought it was a little more wide open than than what it

ended up being because I had classic Causeway just in case.

And I felt really good after big Peaks horses ran a couple of bad

classic Causeway you had, he's good.

Best actor actuator who is the bomb or whatever kids.

Yeah, yeah yeah whatever. Yeah.

Trademark mowing scholar blue Rabbi moment first.

Let's Rattle and Roll Roll. Thank you.

It was like the wise guy kind of coming off a week layoff out of

the American. Well, I don't know, is the

perfect horse because like he won you know, big races a

two-year-old at Churchill Downs. So everyone in Churchill Downs,

just things like, that's the horse and like, they'll never

forget that horse and they always On that, you know.

So and then never lives. That was like, the Dale Romans

kind of worse. So I had those three.

I should say, 6, 7 and 8. So I was, I was good, no matter

the Finish there but it was $130 less.

If you're seven came in when I was really hoping for was

mountains around the turn actually looked like he had

because I would have, I would have if you were sitting on a

twelve hundred dollar ticket for six bucks and I was going to be

amazing. That's what I was really

overwhelmed and I played that because if the track was a

little wet at that Mounds probably had the chance to do it

and there but then they cross the finish line.

They're like neck and neck and it was always that your horse

came in ahead, actuator came in ahead of best actor, but then

the inquiry sign goes up immediately.

And I, yes, immediately and I'm like, oh, I still have a chance,

but they made their stewards made the right decision and

made, no changes in that race. And, you know, got right was

having. I was having flashbacks of

shared sense of the couple years ago because Nancy and I used to

do the Derby, it was on WISH-TV. So there was like, a little

Tyrol five-minute inquiry where they were just walking around in

a circle and Nancy. And I had to just filled that

are because we couldn't just not talk, like they're on TV and

people's houses and we're not just going to sit there silent.

Hey, I've had that Max maximum security was my moment, you know

I got down. We maximum security, wins the

Kentucky Derby, I go down to get on the because I got to get on

the radio like immediately post race show on ESPN and all of a

sudden I see that there's this anchor Wiry and I'm like, I

don't even know. I have no clue what's going on

when I get on the radio and I'm trying to figure it out.

I'm trying to, I'm filling the air and again, this is radio.

So you gotta keep talking because.

Yeah, if it's TV, at least they can look at something.

It was a tracing. Rachel can't be silent.

Okay, it was, but I'll drink in your face, producer, in your

eyes. They're just nickname.

He's now Z idiot, the idiot. Okay, so let's look at right

now. Let's look at the the Indiana

Derby. I'm pushing no buttons.

By the way, the idiot, ten seconds, actuator short

lead. Fowler blue Battles King item in

the rail. Best actor.

Charging hard on the The outside.

They come past the 16th. It's actuator narrowly from a

battling best actor with James Graham.

It's actuator to win the. By the way, the only reason why

King ottoman was 922 is because Rachel picked him and so he got

back down to 92, ridiculous. Yeah, that was the Indiana Derby

incredible day. Now, you guys also did something

kind of cool where you partnered with Belmont and had this like

cross. We said we call it a

cross-country Pick 5 but it was really Like I guess across the

Eastern Time Zone. Take five.

Yeah doesn't have a ring like up here right here not doesn't have

the same ring I guess, huh? Yeah yeah.

So we had two races their first off.

What's the what's the reaction that now that you all have had a

couple days after it you know was it a success or it was good?

I mean I think there was over I think it was almost 300,000 in

the pot for that which is legit and honestly the buzz of it and

just being like it. Included in, it was really cool

and it was fun to like cross-promote, but yeah, Eric

Donovan from naira is super cool and him and Eric met and they

kind of, you know, he has been like featuring us on FS2 and

everything and I think it's been awesome.

I mean it's been, it's been fun and the in the sequence was

bomb. I mean those races were good,

are reasons was three delete a file.

Yeah. It was a legit sequence.

So I think the Bettors I like that, I mean you can't Taylor to

like one thing You are have the fun and like the good bats and

then are guided like to pick fives on our card and stuff.

So like all that stuff was legit.

I think all the decisions made as far as the wagering,

including that cross-country pick five was legit.

Oh, wait. And what is your old take

almost? Pick fast 11 lowest take out in

the land of 11.9%. So, less than 12%, I mean that

is unheard of, isn't it? True.

You were talking about it on the radio on your skin show today

about don't bet the exact isn't Half inches and for Ed, Saratoga

because their take is like well, play these actors with the don't

play, the tries play the exact, as that's fine, but like don't

play the pick. For the Pick 3 S.

Is it twenty percent twenty four and a half like Florida app.

It's double it's more than double.

So really you know, Rachel one of our sponsors is greet racing,

you've met John before, from Green Sheet and wondered how I

won't put out a pic for at, naira for them like that because

they have me doing something on Saturdays.

I'm like, I'm gonna pick five old Because it's just not, it's

not worth it fair to people. Yeah, it's 15% on the pickle.

I'm drawing guide, half of the for, it's not worth it.

Nope. Hagen you all changed you all

change different things for different pools or is it all?

Is it eleven? Eleven point three point nine

nine for the pick five and then the pig fours and the pick three

or 15. So it's, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, it's legit. Eric Eric was smart to do that

because people will play it more.

You end up making more money. I mean it's just what He was

like, I gotta remember mind, some of the batter's, like some

of the stuff we do like we are a business.

Like we do have to pay the bills, you know.

So. But there's a happy median.

You might be the one of the most better friendly tracks.

Yeah, I agree. It's no question.

Yeah, I agree. What's the thing I love about

horseshoe with is the Wednesday racing, the midweek, steaks, I

love. But that's let me know.

It's the real one. It's like the best thing ever.

Because what else like going to look forward to is the middle of

the You're like, oh God, I gotta wait till Saturday to see like

this takes action this weekend. No, thanks.

I do up in horseshoe that are super solid.

What is local? Ones?

National the let the national one is the stakes.

The local one is the Indiana program is really good.

It's just really good. And I give my boss, Eric a lot

of shit publicly, but he's like a whiz kid.

Like he's so smart and he's come up with that stuff.

I'm just going to give him credit right now.

Like he is soon as covid, hit. He was like, Let's Race Monday

through Thursday. He's like, why are we Racing up

against Churchill and Saratoga and crap.

It's just not worth it. Do it when no nothing else is on

because let's face it, did you turrets are gambling?

Every all the time? Like every day, they don't give

a crap. What did I fell?

I fell in love with it because it was on Monday, Tuesday,

Wednesday. During the pandemic it was

nighttime. Whatever.

I listened true death crime podcast and now I'm obsessed

since 2020. So yeah, we all have something.

All right, well, let's get right to these.

Just out of these Belmont. Race is real quick, and we're

going to start with mcculloch's win in the grade 1 Belmont

books. On the inside Cairo memories on

the outside, with the Moonlight. And now they are right together

with the Moonlight and Cairo memories come to the top of the

stretch together. McCulloch is kicking in on the

extreme outside, then comes haughty and agartha and there in

the stretch. Now it is with the Moonlight who

has the lead Cairo memories down on the inside.

Related deep stretch and it will be McCulloch with a robber

teens, Junior. The English Brad McCulloch, is

the winner of, I'm a cola takes that one, and Louis, I didn't

bet proud and I read on a tariff race in New York.

What's that? Is the lesson?

Don't be an idiot like me folks. That's the lesson don't be

listen, Uncle Louie don't have a mini we're not my pick five, how

about that? How about?

Yeah, that's embarrassing. It's embarrassing.

I remember, I would be alive for 50.

G's you on crack that day. That the only one you missed.

That was what I missed. I had classic cause like, yeah,

that was what I missed. Fifteen, thousand dollars,

fifteen. Jeez.

No big deal. Yep, because I didn't have that

horse. Yep.

They'll be guilty other Brown. No big.

No big deal. I'm that guy.

How big would you take it? Hi.

Oh that, that was 36 bucks. So that would have made it 48

48. So for 450 bucks, I could add 15

grand piano is the king of humble brags.

He's got a whole dragon. No, it's stupid, that's the king

of stupidity, all right? It's like bragging about

something, I don't know. Right.

Girl, being stupid. Yeah, I guess.

Maybe not where you're right. Oh man, that was brutal.

But it, I'm so glad we gave out the winning.

Pick Five at at Horseshoe because it's saved the day from

not hitting the 50 G's man. Oh man, I'm so glad we did that.

Where's so by the way Rachel we did a Auntie One Minute Podcast,

which Mike talked about himself, pooping for the first 90

seconds, Jeopardy. Theory of the second leg.

Listen, Everybody Poops. Okay?

All right, you bring it to you guys.

And Everybody Poops, Jeff. It's a I'm just gonna leave it

at that everybody. Perhaps used to get into the

real. Now starting to poop like the

nasty stuff yet. No, he's not old enough yet, but

I am God. I'm counting down.

I do not want that. Like, the breast and poop is so

he's in, he's in there with Gavin right now, and he hates

Gavin. Did I tell you guys that?

I hate them? What I can't stand him, he

literally cries with the nobody else when Gavin gets with him.

He is upset. And I said, listen, I've been

home with him for a couple hours I think he'll be fine while I'm

on the podcast. But this is, these are the data

stuv. All Dad's, if push comes to

shove, bring him in here, will calm down and I'll hold them, it

won't care. But I cross our fingers and

there's no rocking it. I hear a little bit of fussing,

but we're going to let it. We're gonna let it slide.

He's gotta be like that at some point.

Yeah, yeah. I am.

I'm like, not looking forward to the, I'm looking for The Salted,

but I'm not because everybody's worst.

And when I stopped and they start eating real food, it's the

words, it is Source. That's what we got to start

doing this. Doing diapers, I have I have for

our oldest is 12. Our youngest is 5 and I tell

people there was a decade where if I was in Louisville, I change

the diaper every day, a decade. Yeah.

Every freaking day, man. Oh, the worst.

And then what? Yeah, the two things that kids

start doing when they can move and when they can eat real food.

Both horrific moments. Yeah, I wasn't a character

walking. No.

No, it's not cute. It's not cute because they have

to make sure they're not going to.

Yeah. I'll never forget the first

time, right? Tumble down the stairs.

It was like the end of my life gone.

We should probably get back to cope and babies.

Look Mike's like this is great because you guys are making me

look awesome. From the last class were you in

there with us? When that horse one pop.

Like we were all kind of big time does the entire day you

were just like, oh yeah. So, we did, I stop on a super

busy way. Just to hug you and the gay and

to take tell you to go to get cigars and to check in with you,

like two or three times. Yeah, we got to hang out

afterwards. It was fantastic.

It was, but it was such a busy day.

I'm in the owner's Suite, Jenny Reese's in there, like popping

off, freaking press releases like nobody's business like

policy which in there and we're all, you know, preoccupied with

what's about to go on because one of our race is about to run

and all The city Goes Classic Causeway, just want to like 30

to 1 and I mean, Geneva. Like what really did it?

Don't turn around and sure enough playing the replay.

12:34, I was like, by the way, Le dukkha said something like,

oh crap, I gotta go live in an Airbnb for the next three months

at Saratoga. I wish I could just stay here

and do this. Like, literally.

He was like, like we loved it horseshoe so easy.

It is right? It is easy.

So, I mean, yeah, but he did love me.

He had a great day. He reminds me of my hometown.

Track. He's like this reminds me of

like the track that I grew up with.

Like this is my this is he was like I love coming to these

tracks and I was shocked like I thought he was going to be like,

oh you know, I didn't not that he would be bad about it.

I thought his favorite track will be like the spa or church

or whatever he was like. No, I'm so glad I'm here.

You guys have treated me better than anyone in any other track

and I was like there it is. Yes.

She's dusting off her shoulders for people listening.

Digitally audio. Yeah, sorry.

Which is about speaking of that, they're like, so, you know, when

people, when the connections here, when the Kentucky Derby,

they go out for a fancy dinner and all kinds of stuff.

Now, if you win the Indiana Derby, Rachel, where do you go

after you win the Indy? Listen, Okay, where do you go

Rachel. But a lot of times in my past,

okay, in my defense, in my defense, in the past, we have

closed out the steak house and everyone gone over there and

being able to eat and drink on the company dime.

I mean, we have done it up bougie style, okay.

The old owners would shut down the clubhouse and everyone would

party in there and smoke and drink and do whatever they

wanted in the clubhouse after now, because of covid, and we

can't get any waitresses and waiters in there.

The steak house is closed. We just up imbrue brothers.

And they're like, gobsmacked with people course, and I can't

drink on the casino side because I have I'm a gaming license.

I work in the casino, I'm a salaried employee.

So like where you going to go and show me do be w3c's me.

I've been going to be loves quite a lot.

It was want us to be there but I'm telling you when we were

there and then the winners, the owners of the the Indiana Derby

walking right now. When John Talley, they don't

y'all doing they do have it now. Text me and said he was coming.

I was like, this is embarrassing and I don't know what it is.

So like, so it's just now your producers winning my heart back.

BW3 to the Warriors. Now, I'm taking away the idiot

title. It was a really the first time

I've ever got to hang out with John Julie at all and he was

like super hilarious and just you know we're gonna get him on

the show for sure. Right.

Yeah. Roger Roger, who is like the

man? Man and show Weevil was with us.

Yeah, I tried. We had a Nas and her.

Is that her husband now as know. That's the, she works with her.

I'm pretty sure. Yeah, okay.

And then and then of course, the famous editor.

Oh, so showed up to you and mr. Ed hey, honey, horse racing

Nation royalty and arose ready? Ye yeah, I don't know what it is

but like, you know, and obviously has seen us around

whatever it is for whatever it's always so awkward.

When were in the same room with that dress and I don't know why.

I really don't know. Like we just never really

talked. We don't really tell you and

just an awkward guy that that could be what it is.

That's why I love. Add that if you're listening to

this, which I'm sure you're not going to tell you this right

now. I used to be afraid of it.

Yeah, like what he was, so, like on Twitter.

He's so, like I said, listen, yeah, he's an assassin and like,

for sure. And when I first started out on

Twitter, I was like, I don't feel like I know enough about

racing to, like, be in even a room with it.

You know what I mean? And now over the over the time,

like, if he sends out a stupid tweet, I will just call him.

Like, what are you doing? Ha ha.

Ha good. Good.

Deeds that. All right, so bad to clad the

causeway and so we can Stop talking about the races that

we're here. It's classic caudalie.

Amazing first ever Turf rates. As the field.

Still the one to catch air and on the outside nation's pride is

coming on with Stone Age. Branson otter is there as they

come down for the Finish classic Causeway.

Here's nation's Pride on the outside.

Classic cosway has pulled off a huge upset and it okay.

There what I have something very important I need to say here.

Okay. Fellas Johnny Brielle sounds

like New York. He said grandson otter, is he

put the Are at the end of Sonata in front of another vowel

because brother is New York. He's representing without trying

like doing the damn thing. I appreciate that as a linguist

like that's my guy classic Causeway by the way that's a

Julian leper room freaking Jem Jem do exactly what the plan was

gets out front, doesn't go too fast.

That guy to turns on the turf. Mike would have I said that's my

bro. Well, yeah, but we mentioned

earlier with the class of costly on this show that he's at Ur

Force, no question and so yeah. Everything pointed to this, I

get it. And by the way, I appreciate

what's happened with him and with the decisions they've made,

so Brian Lynch is a really good Turf trainer and we're going to

talk about him when we get to Saratoga later in the show.

What do you do? What do you like me to write

your essay. Sorry homework.

Gavin has a giant keyboard. All I got.

Is he a gamer? He's a biggest dork.

He seems so cool. Whoa.

Whoa. That is needless besmirched, by

the way, everybody. All right, so it's great.

It's settled out the oh, he's right.

I didn't say it was a great drag racing.

Rachel is married to a dork. So the know but just the gulf

front, stay out front that style.

We saw Ivar overcome that against Some Like It Hot

grounded at Horseshoe, didn't work out for the other horses in

this. Race really cool comeback story

for classic Causeway. I like that, they tried them in

the derby. Would you have a three-year-old?

You have a chance to run in the Kentucky Derby, you do it?

Yeah, right. I mean, freaking rich strike one

this year. Of course, you try, right?

So I like that, they're trying different things with him,

figuring it out as a three-year-old, the breeding

makes sense all those things so kudos to them, it's a huge win

in grade one there. Like you mentioned Kenny McPeak,

just a huge day and yeah just an incredible cap to the paper and

one last thing before we let Rachel go.

Because we got to make sure that we don't know.

She's staying on for the second part here and she got she got

handicap. No, no, she staying off for the

bathroom discussion. I want to say though it is

coming up on the screen here. Dude, I just told you how

miserable my son in my in my daily life are together okay I

will stay for. I will stay for a short baffert

just was just that's all we want to know just we want to get an

idea of you're welcome. It's the return of Bob baffert.

I don't know if it really matters, we got I Know Dan

Issel. So we had to make sure that we

It's a connect cult. That one for baffert.

That's right. I'll let you listen to the show.

Look at you. I'm with you.

You know I was look at you. I like to get it.

Yes paid radio. Look at you, I'll talk So I can

mention winds, Aloft out. Derby baffert is back, racing in

California. But exact Return of the mat.

I just I just don't think that this is that big of a story.

So interesting. Okay, I got nothing I when I'm

with Mike but I don't it's not that I don't want nothing.

I just I just can we I think we talked about this last time when

he was in trouble. I was like who talk about

something else. Like do you know how many

trainers there are in the country?

That get in trouble and they're all going to fight it and

they're all how they all have lawyers and they're all going to

do this now. His was on I get a grand larger

scale and has a lot more test, whatever.

Like you can go back and forth with the SATs but I'm just tired

of talking about baffert like he gets enough attention as it is.

I'm not shocked at all 100% that he's back and I think he's gonna

go right back to winning races all the time and that's my two

cents. Don't know what Louis Has to say

because I know his opinion is that a yeah?

Crack your knuckles. All right now it's a real

question. So he says man I haven't talked

to Jimmy since the suspension started.

Yes Eddie would lied more in the history of his assistant.

Yeah, I haven't talked to him at all.

Since the beginning of the suspension has in a more public

forum in the history of the world than him and Nixon.

Like I mean, just I mean it's like it's like Richard Nixon and

then Freakin a freakin baffert. Look look, we all get it.

You had to disband your barn. It was a very serious 90 days is

serious, right? It doesn't California will say

over, 60, you got to break your barn up.

I'm not saying it's not a serious thing in that.

There wasn't a lot of tribulation certainly there was,

but this idea that you didn't talk to your assistant, trainer

that you weren't FaceTiming to look at the horses to see what

to like the clues that you're looking for baffert's, a genius,

by the way, with horses, Has he just is he's the greatest

traitor of young horses in the history of history of the sport.

It's just true. The idea that he's not talking

to his assistant trainers. During that time is it isn't

laughable, it's beyond whatever laughable is.

And and so you don't have to even say it, he I do appreciate

because he got something very right.

He said, I wish I hadn't done that press conference outside

the barn. What you said forever.

Even, I've said that very, yes, what did he researched?

And I can remember, he comes out, he comes out, he says I

don't know what betamethasone is.

Are you two things about that? Two days ago?

I had to say something about that.

But I tried, well, I mean, I try to just stay out of it.

Like, I try not to talk about negative stuff as much as I can.

Stephen, I had to admit, that would come on, bro.

Like did two things there that weren't.

Okay. No, you know, and we all know,

you know, you're just making us all.

As a sport looks stupid. When you do that, you're hurting

everyone to me. I've got popped for date months.

Before that in, they always give people benefit of the doubt but

you can't. Conversely really gets pocket

gate. Once he gets popped 48 months

prior and then he makes Jenny Reese who's been royalty on the,

the horse racing stage, for years.

He looks at her and says, what is betamethasone do?

He makes her answer in front of a crowd of 100 people?

None of that is okay, lying about not knowing what it does.

Li making making Jenny Reese, answer in front of a bunch of

people. Shame on you, that's terrible.

I mean, that's Herbal. So so credit to him for actually

saying I shouldn't have done that and then he goes.

On course he goes, I mean goes on a rampage blames cancel

culture and all this stuff on Fox News and whatever else.

I mean, like he hasn't it Hansel though.

Of course not, he's back. He just wanted to sell Derby for

the 312 time. I mean, like whatever.

I mean it's just people who I don't give him that.

Like people do hang on to They do, hang on the stuff help, but

they see something they will go after some, I mean, I've been a

product of that with my followers that like, if I say

something that they don't like, or that's not like, we all know,

you both know, I'm talking about, I'm not going to, I'm

going to bring it up, but if I don't say something that is like

Bible the most politically correct crap in the world, they

will come after me. And it's like that for like a

while. It's like we want Rachel's head

on a platter, right? So I it is annoying.

I've canceled cop culture after you and I give him that but

lying and acting like, you don't know what drugs are and doing

cheating at all. It's not cool, but I don't think

it was are shocked that he said he hadn't talked to Jimmy

because he wasn't supposed to. Would you want to do Louis come

out and say yeah, I was talking to Jimmy the whole time.

I don't know exact numbers but just don't mention it at all

because if you're saying you don't need to do the press

conference, that's correct. Yeah, I didn't talk to my

trainer so we hugged a lot. Okay.

So they're like perfectly ready for the low sell Derby even

though. You haven't seen the horse for

three months. I mean, come on.

I mean, I don't know who Jimmy is good.

Jimmy Barnes isn't a good trainer.

That's not what I'm doing. But the idea that he has no

direction from baffert has is to me, it's laughable, it's not,

it's not in reality for sure. All right.

Rachel Rachel before we super appreciate.

You coming on for a little bit tonight.

Go breastfeed and Celebi. That's right.

Help that baby sleep. All right.

That's right. He's wanted nothing to do with

kids, aren't really. Honestly thinking I'm a horrible

person, just so you guys know, two beers is not going to do

anything, just for the record. He canceled culture racing.

Rachel should be on Fox news tomorrow.

Yep. Louis tried to cancel here.

Rachel, goodbye. All right, that was racing

Rachel. Again at racing Rachel I am.

Is that what it's just them? Yeah, just him.

Okay. Rachel All right.

What are the 50,000 people that follows her?

Yeah she like literally like that.

Just everyone in horse racing. Yeah we get we get she's like

the best following horses. Also hey real quick because it

was this week and talk about people we like let's give a

happy birthday. Shout-out to our man.

Matt gentleman, right. Yeah, for sure.

Turn 30 this year this week so happy birthday to him.

The track announcer out of Golden Gate.

I heard. He had his first drink.

Yeah, good format. That's great.

Hey does look like a like Joey votto's?

Nerdy Joey votto's nerdy. Oh brother.

So Joy bottle looks nerdy to begin with.

That's yeah, deep layered statement.

Okay I'll try to put that one through my brain right now.

Matt has been the actually Rachel might have caught him

today so he might be the second. They might be tied for the most

most common guest on the maturity happy hour since

September of 2019 and we are we're just huge fans of Matt

because he's never has a bad day.

He works at one of the tracks that's really trying to do the

right thing and And frankly they're up against the most

resistance of horse racing anywhere in the world and

they're doing it and, you know, protesters on the track.

Okay, we'll run races three through seven Under The Lights,

it's just do it. I just I really appreciate the

folks about it at Golden Gate and mad is absolutely part of

that team and he's just is one of the good guys in racing.

So yeah, happy 30th. And here's a, here's the 300

more, Matt, we can refuse you for three hundred more years for

sure. He's good, man.

Good man. All right, so let's Let's make

some pics. So Green Sheet racing again.

If you're at the track pick up like one of those forms, if

you're not at the tracking use Green Sheet racing.

You can go to Green Sheet racing.com and get your green

sheet for the day. Or get like it.

You can get like a quarterly subscription if you want to, but

they do a great job. There are Green Sheet racing

coordinate plane though. So you can do the whole thing.

It's totally available. Yep.

You do. Don't and I know and I now

because of because of their sponsorship, I know the The

handicapping team at a clean sheet.

It is legit. You're getting good advice.

It's a terrific, I'm super thrilled.

We're hooked up with them. Absolutely.

So we're going to start right off the bat, help you with the

pick three at. I'm sorry at the spa tomorrow.

At Saratoga, the pick three starts with race eight, which is

the coronation cook. This is a five and a half,

Furlong Turf Sprint for three-year-old, Phillies 150,000

dollar. Purse and my Makers got horse

here that I really like Louis lady Scarlet. 13 allows for last

win was in the grade three Miss Preakness.

It's the only horse in the field that I think is coming off a

graded Stakes win in this field. Only lost was the matter area

and grade 3 Beaumont two times out to the second timeout and

you know I don't know this what's this?

What are the odds right now on lady Scarlet 12:45 on the

morning line? Mike Mike's long shot right

here, is it might be Louise long shot, to is a lose, long shot.

It does not. I have another horse in here

that I like that's at a, about half the price but still at a

very, very long price. So I think it's worth mentioning

that Twilight gleaming is in this race two to one morning

line Wesley, Ward irad Artis 25%.

Between them at Saratoga 30%, across the country, everything

points to this horse because of the wind in the Breeders Cup

juvenile Turf Sprint. I think that horse has an

absolute include in the pick three here if you wanted to play

late. Um, I actually have the 7 on top

and I'm gonna try static fire the 81 with Brian Lynch and

Julien lepers, I just talked about Brian Lynch.

I think he's a terrific Turf trainer 31% win rate interface

prints. This is what he does.

This is his this is it this is what Brian Lynch does.

Absolutely the best horse comes out.

Saratoga last year. By the way 5.4, a long span

question. Wait, first time out?

Wins comes back in an allowance race at Churchill Downs off.

Massive layoffs from September to May comes back and wins by

over a length in that field comes back to Saratoga.

I have a ton of confidence in that and that Filly I think

she's going to be I think she's gonna be really really great.

The second horse I have here is the three Twilight gleaming?

So I think 73 is the most likely play here.

If you're looking for other horses, poppy flowers in this

race. So this is a bill mot Jose Ortiz

combination. The two of them hit at Saratoga

there. Five of their last 12, L've at

that's a lot in altogether 24%. This horse 142, this year.

One Last Time Out innocent listed Stakes at Laurel Park

five and half furlongs in a buck 02:56 flat, essentially 5656 at

one over five furlongs that's an insane clip if that horse could

keep that up, the horse absolutely has a chance here the

nine horse here, ladies Scarlet, 15 21, I think has absolutely

everyone else here with some is preakness.

To moderate nausea. Do you think she's any good mic

moderator? Oh, yes.

Very good. Yeah, dirt.

We're going dirt to Turf here though.

So we're going to have to try to figure that out. 12% for Mike

Maker, Mike maker though, on on the turf, very very good.

And so my sense is that he knows what he's doing here, adding

that horse and then I also think I think there are five horses to

play here. Marissa's lady a horse that I

talked about before that is absolutely perfectly part

royalty. She is 3 for 4 with a second

place at her face. Mark, that one loss was going to

turn. She's a 1 turn.

Sprinter over the synthetic. Can she figure it out on the

turf 821 here? Kadar Carmouche Bill Murray, I

love Bill Murray in general, atrophy Park.

Can he extend that here to Saratoga?

I'm not sure, but those are my picks there.

I got five horses here, seven, three, eight, nine, and one.

Alright, so there it is. The five horses and me, that's a

total spread recently, that's it.

You know, we talked about the grading scale, the grading

system here, so let's it's takes, but if that was a great

three, a field, I would not applaud again.

No one will be mad at that first.

Lady has one, you know, a ton of mistakes.

She's running a great to. Yeah, for example, she's my

fifth pick here, right? Kind of thing, place to a great

thing for sure, speaking of great 3.

So we're going to move on to the great three.

Forbidden apple Stakes. This Hell race is named after

the 2001, Florida horse of the year for get an Apple who won

four graded, Stakes wins. All of them were at Belmont.

So we have the Florida horse, the year, when all is stakes

races of Belmont has a race named for him at Saratoga Your

figure but it actually originally this race was raised

at Belmont. Yes.

First was running 2014, it became a grade 3 and was moved

to the spa in 2019. And to me, this is a really

competitive field Louis. We're going to see The Return of

art collector here, hadn't run since February, and the Saudi

cup and was very disappointed. In that time out, we're going to

in our collectors also, making the return to Turf, which he did

before, he was on his, he's met her, he's actually entered form

a track. Holy, okay?

I'm sorry about that, and then I missed that one.

That was, before I got the PPS. And, you know, and then we get

set piece. Here coming off a great to

dinner party, no clue. What do you like here at Louis?

And you get mirror Mission who's coming out of grade, three

winning the Canadian Turf. Of course, they run the Canadian

Turf in Miami in case anyone's wondering I this is my long shot

of the weekend Sanctuary City. The twelve is twenty to one on

the morning line please my shirt.

You're damn right 14% between James James Ferraro and

Kendrick. Carmouche hear coming out of the

poker great 3. With Mason.

No one was beating amazing that day.

One of the things I love in these Turf, races is to look at

especially on the form of you don't want to go back and watch

replays which I do. But in this case, if you don't

even have to do that, this horse has been third.

Excuse me, second three times this year and his her fourth

place. His face, excuse me, fourth

place. Finish.

Is that a length and a quarter? So this horse has been there

essentially in second place over and over and Over again.

I think there's a spot for those kinds of horses where they're

right there with the right there at the right there and then they

break through Sanctuary City to meet is the upset option of your

Friday at Saratoga in the forbidden apple.

So I will put him on top, then I landed on the one, two, and

three. So set piece.

Mike. I have to, I have to ask you.

So you and I have been to a bunch of races together.

Yes, set-piece, making the move. In the Wise, Dan in 2021 last

year. As good a move as we've seen on

the turf right together. Is that fair to say on the turf?

Yes, Rick strikes me was probably the best.

And right. That's really cool.

That's a great that's as you're right.

I think it person. So orbs move to the outside of

the Derby was one that I was really great, like the six path.

Probably. But Rich strike, making that

move on the inside. You're probably right.

But set pieces move on the turf there where he just exploded in

the last last day, the last sixteenth, whatever it is hard

to get over. Yeah, very cool.

They're bringing Flora in there. They're flying him in for this

race. I think he's got a legit shot.

Wolfies Dinah ghost has a real shot here.

His losses bit amazing. Amazing.

I think we've thought about this horse on the show as a very high

level grade. One type horse weren't great

three company here. I think we'll these data goes at

12:45 as a great price than ours has a legit shot.

Here last time winning was in a handicap race has tried.

As I appreciate that there that that Albert Ronnie, the

trainer's been trying graded company with his horse, to me,

it makes sense. The step up here for this horse,

I'm interested to see if this horse can go.

What I like is actually for some of these horses, I don't like

that they're going to turns I like that.

Well he's not a ghost is going to go to turns because I

Belmonts. One turnover mile on the grass.

It goes through mist. Two turns finished half length

off in the Appleton last year. So I like the two turns actually

for will be assigned to ghost at 12:45.

In the mirror mission is a pretty obvious include here.

Ran lost by a neck last time out in a grade one.

Go over to turns in the Turk classic at church at Churchill

Downs. Chili Pepper over here.

I think there's an opportunity actually here to play the double

between the coronation cup and this race.

It just just pledged billion, ten bucks, just do it.

I think, Get. 25:32 one, something like that.

Well, 250 300 on your bet that kind of thing.

Not bad, weird. Weird feeling.

Julian was good today by the way, weird feeling that usually

leper was going to have a nice meet at Saratoga.

I don't know why just a weird feeling these long shot.

Louise long shot. That's creepy.

All right, I like you though. Do you?

Like I like it too. All right Willie, Let's Race.

Let's, let's let's finish. Cap out the the Friday's pick

three with Ray stantz. Is an allowance optional

claiming race 45,000 or claim price, huh?

I do not persist six and a half foot long Sprint, on the dirt

for Phil, he's a three year olds and up, non to lifers.

So who's your quick pick in this one?

I like the two and the three that are the favorites here

rozsival. Ha is the to Khalil magic is the

three. I also like thinking it over 521

Joel Rosario Raven handle the two of them hitting together a

27% at Saratoga. This horse moving up in the

alarm triggers drops back into the claiming Frank's here.

So I'm going to play 2387 to end the sequence tomorrow.

Alright, now we're going to move on this Saturday, so those were

Friday races again, that was the practice, pick three Saturday,

we're gonna start with race eight when you get pick for and

it's going to start of the grade one.

Diana. Diana course was the Roman

goddess. What happened when we got ashore

for thankfully? How many of them he need for

things for things? So my dad father, Craig is

married to a Diana. Since to be the goddess of about

eleven things because they have stitched boys.

Jeez, I can't imagine living in the house being her, but the

only good thing is. It's just, it's just, it's just

a chain of handling, the closed down, right?

I mean, it's just, you don't have to like, oh, we have a girl

in the mill. Have to go to do this.

Just like, you know what you're doing.

It's a whole thing boy. Diana, what are her for?

But you just got one of them because one of those do goddess

of fertility. So yeah.

They got very late to man. I love it.

It but fertility. I'm going to go with power

hunting, wild animals in the moon, so there's the that's who

the very one Diana. Now, Chad Brown, I made this

race. Do not win last year, but has

won five of the last six years and has like we've done here

over, half the field, ready for the six entries in the tricky to

set for the six-inch he's got basically to me this race is a

like single of all singles Bleecker Street stood should

dominate this, if I'm not, you know, undefeated 6-4 6-4 for

great stays friends would come out We're in the great one, New

York, six weeks. All our Oaks day.

When the grade 3 modesty bleeker's teach, anyone even

touch leaders for you? Yes, it's just and I do you

think'll. I have nothing here.

And I did not give out a single here in my picks, a green sheet.

So I actually think there are a couple horses to look at.

I think technical analysis is a really, really talented.

Billy four years old, just one integrate through Ballarat at

Pimlico. I'm wondering if that in

translate back to New York surface, and I'm hoping it will.

Are these two brothers can obviously have to put

leadership? Here is an interesting course,

from try to figure out ruggieri, didn't fire the last time out

and you could look the oh she finished fifth.

Yeah by two lengths. And so you try to 3y sort of

thing here. I'm interested to see if Lobby

and tries to different different out here in the bouquet.

By the way, in the grade three she was she was very much the

best, buy a couple legs and so interested to see if she comes

back here. I'm with you though, if you

wanted to go, if you want to go short, Chad Brown, I read

Bleecker Street. It's 10% of Lifetime.

This Is The Place To Go short. I get it, but I think there are

other options in this race 134 for me.

And what about the six Wars is an Italian, Mike singling in

Italian. They all right, we didn't have

in the middle is sequels, we got race now which is an allowance,

option cleaner, a cities, a mile, and an eighth on the, of

course there. Louis, who do you have in this

one? I laid in four, five, six.

So this Actually, if you if you read up on it, my goal against

the favorite picks of the week. So I'm going with a couple of

different things here. I think that you can try to beat

for if I can't Ticonderoga per track, the track layout is

different for tigers. On Ticonderoga 6p has never gone

more than a mile in that Belmont.

That's one turn I'm going to look at three different horses

to try to beat for Tiger Ticonderoga.

And so the for analogy, the 52 other Anthem and the sixth, Edit

event are all in this race. Ted but 110 1421, I mean,

including them in my Pick 5 sequence and nothing comes out

of a third place finish at an optional claimer at Belmont

alongside the six credit event whose 421.

Imagine, if we get that, we get that for horse at 12:50 in the

sequence, it's gonna be really, really great for us.

That red car wash, by the way, they hit a 24 percent, plus your

thyroid hit, 27 percent. So we're not giving up a lot to

get six more points on that. Kill everyone with, I read ten

to one with Kendrick, I'll take a little day summer at them.

Is dropping out of sticks. Companies facing winners for a

second time. I love that angle, they were in

this race. Again, Fort Ticonderoga going to

turn for the first time. I'm going to try to seize on

that. I'm going to go, four, five,

six, leave out that nine in that race.

All right, so we're going to move on to the race 10, which is

the great three Sanford, six Furlong Sprint on the dirt.

This is the two-year-old basically.

Pseudo Triple Crown prep early if you want to get into it or

Breeders Cup juvenile up here. This race isn't going on since

1913 the second winner in 1914 of this great.

Race was who Louis 1914. Yes, I'm not even going to

pretend the Derby winner regret. So in the second year, this

race, they pulled regret. This is also a Manowar suffered.

His only loss in 1919, he was beat by Upset, a lot of people

think that that's where the term upset comes from, but it's no

question. Yeah.

No, it isn't. No, it was the term upset was

used in. Historically, I guess going back

to the 1870s so they can, they can.

It's not that we're all upset was named after something else,

God. Yes.

And Stephen Stanford to this race is named for his us

Congressman. One of the original Saratoga

families started racing at Saratoga.

In 1880 other winners of this race include secretary and

affirmed. This is one of those.

Races that has got a ton of History.

It was actually secretary, its first-ever Stakes.

Win was the here in the grade three Sanford.

So, Louis, who's the next secretary?

Oh well my kids but the most likely thing is forte I read and

Todd 81 speed figure first time out, runs the five furlongs of

Belmont at 58 and one training numbers look really really good.

Second off, Todd Pletcher, with two year olds, 23% something

that he does. Really well, if there's a wet,

if there's an East Coast version of Bob baffert, it is Todd

Pletcher. He does really, really well,

taking those horses from two Olds 23 year old.

And so for to about top for me there and then I went to the

six, most strike a son of Uncle Mo.

This is for Ron's room, Brad Cox, I think this is a lot more

for me. Just if Brad Cox won this race,

I would feel stupid than anything else but that's good

them, of course 483 races. This year 26% strike rate which

and of course it horse racing is incredible.

And then I'm going to go Go ahead and look at the six.

Horse waiting on the nine horse. Excuse me.

The nine horses Andiamo Andiamo forensics on the arms in Z,

which is clearly, and I mean not even close.

I mean, not close. This is my source.

No. Absolutely.

I mean not even close. Jose Ortiz, Kelly Green, the two

of them hitting each other at 27%, in a, in a notable sample

size, 80, Beyer speed figure. First time, I made special way

to out Belmont that five furlongs in a minute for a

minute. Excuse me.

If I don't have her looks at a minute, And they the work, I'll

tell make sense. So those are the three that I'm

going to cue in on here in this race for six and nine.

You know what Andiamo means in Italian Let's go.

That's right yeah that's right. Yeah.

So like if we're you know, when we're in Italy and we're trying

to go somewhere on trying to rein get all the troops job on

Jammu. I got Mom, llamo and Andiamo

course is Florence, which I still don't understand what you

like. If if the town's name was

friends is Friends, a why can't we call it Friends Day in

English? Why do we have to You know,

like, English doesn't care. I mean, English just doesn't go

by the way. That's the Brits.

It's not that made that change. It was not the Americans to me,

their kids, just take on whatever we use.

Like, we use words like burrito and tostada.

We don't carry a right. Yeah, that's a Brits are the one

who screwed that up. So Andiamo offerings a for sure,

would be my horse. Especially Jose Ortiz on there.

I like that a lot, so you go. Alright, so the last race in

this pic, for sequences the Milan, 16 Turf race, it is A

claiming race 50,000 dollar purse.

It is of course, on the melon Turf course they have they have

the Wilson shoot. Now, you said, Saratoga ha.

Are we gonna find out that Wilson had like two wives, or

something? And we have to probably what is

your pic here, Louis in this. I would finally in the last, I

went for six, let me make sure here for 6, 9 and 11.

Okay. And let me Up the proper Echo

base patroness race. So that's Deva Reddy.

Not that you. And I know anything about divas,

and then Bella Conchita, not that you.

And I know anything about Bella, conchita's, and then presets

break lie and that we don't know anything about princesses and

then Kemba. But we know something about

Kemba, the edge of the Walkers. Yeah, for sure.

Kemp has eight to one princess Blakely 421 and Bella cochina

521. So you're actually getting a

little bit of a price here on some of the sources if they can

come. I meant for us.

So I'm 44 6, 9 and 11 at the last Saratoga, all right?

That's that's and then do we have any idea what your ticket

is you will have to go to Green Street Racing.com, holy sheet to

check that out. I include race 7, which is

before that, I think you'll be interested in my opinion and ra7

but I give my most likely winner, the weekend are, excuse

me up, Saturday at so focused on the favorite that I'm against at

Saratoga green cheek racing.com. All right.

Well, that'll do. We're going to pay the tab.

We're going to get out of here. Thanks for listening.

This has been
