show outside of a racetrack in a very long time.
Yeah. So there ya welcome.
It's it's been it was it was May Yeah, and then we had, we had a
couple those were on my back patio.
That's true. I mean, I haven't stood in this
spot a very long time, people that don't know.
When I do the shows at my house, I sit down and have a cigar when
we're here. I stand, I don't know why but I
always stayed when I do the shows are I preferred.
And so yeah, here we are. You drink a little bourbon
bourbon action. Little little Russell's Reserve
nice. I think the 10 year and as far
as like price point in which it gets one of the best that white
label that you can get for like The eight bucks.
Like, you know, it's it's to me value play.
It's right out there. It's a killer.
But hey, we are thrilled because tonight is our first night doing
the studio show, where we have our new title sponsor, our
friends and a mic. And I mean it, when we say that
our friends just over, absolutely, that Green Sheet

all of that and just thrilled grade sheet was the first-ever
tip sheet that I ever got my hands on when I first moved to
Louisville, played the finger. Go up and down when I was go to
Churchill Downs and so just thrilled that they're on with us

the track that we're talking about on the show sometimes
different from the show. Actually so get over to Green

First question, do they sell the green sheet at SN avoidance?
Don't think so. All right, we'll ask to happen

Damn. Just because, you know, Having
my people money in Canada, right?
So and then, and then finally, how did the the first one that
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
here to chat about those races in those things, but you mean
racing Rachel, I told on Rachel will be awesome weekend up in
great Saturday for sure. Yeah, we had a great time,
really good time. They always do a good job of
rolling, out the red carpet for us or for hanging out with Paul,
Lo Duca for a little bit. Yeah.
And then we're looking for a log B for a long bit.
And then we're in a little Gallo Dan dokic action going on.
They had us on the dandaka show, but the best is like, so we're
walking. I'm a little.
I think I'm a little loud. I'm gonna turn my mic and just
chat. All right.
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
goes. Hey there's that picture from
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.

That's a car hood folks that might look my fancy Mike there's
a fancy bike. So you eating there Rachel.
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

stretch together. McCulloch is kicking in on the
extreme outside, then comes haughty and agartha and there in

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.

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.
