Full Transcript
Hi. Welcome to a special edition of
the horse-racing happy hour Mike and all faux wood blue year ago
and this is one of my favorite things that we do every year
come to chefs guys. Answer the question.
I'm super excited. We got a special guest.
Sharp as they get to know us. Deep in horse, racing is the
Cubs cago guy and all that sort of good stuff and actually the
rumor we know we're both teachers.
You were. Yeah, I was thinking a yet three
pictures. Yeah.
I actually I heard you were selected in New Orleans because
Joey knew he would have a better percentage against you, then
someone else. No, that's all right.
I love it but we're so glad you could make it tonight.
Also this week as well. So happy to have him in on a
hang out with us tonight. You can also listen to any of
our cover. Judge this week.
We are on ESPN Louisville. The next three days live from
section 322. If you are anywhere in the
vicinity of 320 to come to the top of the section, come say hi
to us as well, 10 to noon on Thursday noon, to two on Friday
and 1:49 on Derby day here on ESPN, 680, 1057 and Louisville.
You can stream it anywhere in the world ESPN global.com or on,
I heart. All right.
So let's get into this real quick and just talk about Lily.
How did we get here with the food?
That's durbeyfield. Talk a little bit about the
road. Yeah.
So first thing is, what is the Kentucky Derby?
What kind of race is it? The Kentucky Derby is a
restricted, race. Only three year olds can run in
it. Now, it is not restricted by
sex, Phillies are allowed to run in the Kentucky Derby.
But the way that we got here is that horses running what we call
prep races and they race, those frankly, all around the world,
if you're up in Japan and the United States and can get
points, Derby points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby this
year. So there's a lot of points again
this year. Five Points, they added points
to earlier racist, to try to entice people to be in that
Kevin saw the fruits of that actually larger field sizes at
Fairgrounds some of the early, perhaps seem to work out that
way. Other people don't like it,
Arkansas Derby, second runner isn't in the field for example.
So there's a Nina second under. Yeah.
And also some questions about that but I like it personally.
Kevin do you like the point system the new move to encourage
people to run more, or do you think there should be more
emphasis on the end of the road? Yeah, I feel like if you get per
second and with these last races that your Good form.
You're really at your best to Peak and you should be in the
derby. So I could actually be shipped
in that way. Yeah, it's been interesting.
So they basically, they took the point system, the added points
all the way to fifth place is basically what they did and
typically like you could be in the 30s in the past and in the
race this year, we have horses you have 45 points in that in
the Kentucky Derby. So it was a it was a pretty
major change. So just to kind of piggyback on
what Lewis said anytime. You see the word Derby in a
horse race, that means it's going to go chicken.
The three-year-olds, Anytime you see the word Oaks, that means
it's going to be three year old Phillies.
So those two words will always signify that it's a
three-year-old race. The other, the other part of
this is we talked about those preps, some of the best
predictors for success. In the Kentucky Derby.
No race has been a better predictor than the Florida
Derby. More.
What winners have come out of the Florida Derby than any other
race. The second most is actually,
from a road race called The Wood Memorial, which is run an
aqueduct on Long Island. Now, the last winner of the, the
Kentucky Derby, it's also when the wood Memorial was a horse
named Foose ieg. Pegasus in 2000.
So recently it hasn't been a very good predictor but
historically, excellent. I do think, at some point, we
will get someone out of the wood that wins this round.
About three year olds though is you know, they start racing it
to. That's the earliest of those
start racing again out there. That's when they're like, kind
of high schoolers right there. Still figure it out.
They're still growing in their body and mentally physically,
the really try to get there at 3:00.
It's like that transition which should happen to the
three-year-old. You go from a college player to
a pro, right? It depends of what point in the
year as a three-year-old, you do that.
So you know, it's not only what you did.
Last race is how you're stepping forward, how you're getting
stronger, how you figure it out. And that's one of the big
question marks. You always see with the dirt.
So this is what we're going to do today.
This is kind of what's on tap. We're going to go through the
entire durbeyfield and give you some talking points and some
notes about each and every one of them will get a sense of who
it is that we like we're going to go through a couple of the
different races on Oaks day and Derby Day, specifically, on
Derby Day, we're going to go through the Late Pick 5, if
you're bold enough to play that couple of years ago, even though
we had the favor, when the Derby wouldn't justify won the Triple
Crown, it takes six hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
So might be a good thing to put a, you know, what are you sure?
And we're going to go through the basics of waging we're going
to make sure that you guys will come from want it.
There's no dumb questions just dumb people.
So we want to answer all those questions that you might have
about wagering. Make sure that you feel
comfortable about what it is. Is that you're going to do on
Friday or Saturday, at the track or tomorrow if you're out there,
too. So that's what we're going to.
Let's will start. Kevin, let's talk about the ABCs
of betting real quick. Just kind of talk a little bit
about the real basis of that. Okay, so we're all three
teachers and you could end up into this and say reason I did
that. Yeah.
That a little to make a lot. I mean that's it, I'm like maybe
if I get this horse racing thing figured out then I can I can
kick back a little bit but you know, the basics, you know,
there's so many different bets that you can make, right?
That went bad is the basic thing that you can do you have a Oh,
can you take that horse is going to get it done and you like the
price because you know, it's a pair of mutual system, right?
We're all if it's us betting on the race for bet against each
other, I want your money. I want your money, you won't
mind, right? It's kind of a battle on that
way. So if I put $1000 on a horse and
you put one dollar on another horse in, you're getting
basically a thousand to one on your horse right now.
I'm trying to spend one dollar so you got to keep an eye on
odds with you like a horse to win because it drops to a price
you like our makes 60 cents on a dollar, you know that's not What
I'm here to do, if I want to back away from that horse, so
when they wore use it in a different way, when they see the
odds on the tote board, those are really just the odds, for
what's in the wind pool. Is that correct?
Yes, right. So, none of the show me the
plate when you see the odds, it's win money.
That's all. That's all you're seeing the
wind money and Churchill's going to get paid no matter what.
That's right, there's a thing called a takeout.
So what's the take out on the normal wind that it's about 18
percent, right? So they're gonna take 18% out,
and then the rest of that's in the pool.
And then they give it out to the betters.
The other two options there in the simple bets.
The ones that are based on placement win, obviously only
for first place. Place is first or second place
and then show is first. Second or third place that
you're trying to pick off one of those spots of popular been
especially during the Derby because there are so many horses
in the field is a win place show back where you're actually
betting a horse in all three positions.
So the horse is able to say, do better than show better than
third place you get paid twice or even three times if that
force does witness which is it bad that I I personally love, I
love the win place show event and a funny story Louis and I
were the Breeders Cup at Keeneland one year and there was
a horse. I was a 94 to one shot and his
name was hot rod, Charlie and hot rod.
Charlie was in the Juvenile and my grandfather Charlie sold
cars. So I was like, I'm betting, I'm
putting, and he's the reason why I love horse racing, right?
So I'm putting I'm putting money on hot rod Charlie.
I always bet win place show. I bet them to win and he came in
second place on your money. I love.
In place over. It's a great bet.
Especially if you have a strong opinion about about a horse like
Kevin mentioned with longer odds with bigger number over that
one, right? So if this horse at 12:45 that
you really like that horse hits the board, you're likely to get
a pretty decent, pay out even on a to knowingly and you're
betting your name like our buddy last year and was rich.
Didn't that rich strike it and not our marriage strike.
All you have to do is put a little bit of money on their.
We're talking to you rich. Yeah.
And so we're the ones that are within a single.
So when exactly is, how many horses do we have to predict
finishing 12? That's exactly right.
So we have to get right the exact order of finish of the
first place. And the second place finisher.
Now, you can include more than two horses in that vest and do
something called boxing, which puts them all in all of the
positions. Okay?
So let's say you have three horses that you like, and you
think they're going to run 12, you would put them in the Exacta
box at every time you play that it's $6.
Louis, why is it six dollars on a $1?
But because there are six, different possible combinations,
right? So if you play for to it goes up
to $12, right? And then if we play it again,
for three dollars, it goes up to 18 at cetera.
AA, very easy to scale. Those bets up if you want to or
keep them very inexpensive, then we go to a trifecta, which is
the first three horses, of course, right then a Superfecta,
which on Derby Day, by the way, one dollar minimum on superfecta
is very difficult to keep that priced out of superfecta.
So, maybe we stick to the exact, as on Derby day, when you have a
big field and you will all throughout the card on both Oaks
and on Derby Day, you got a real good shot to get a good payout
on exact this. I think Kevin that that's
usually where I try to concentrate my Go raise money.
Yeah, yeah. The exactas trifectas.
He protects? All that stuff's really good.
A lot of people box. Why were you just like these
horses going to run? Well, whatever order you're all
good. But if you really want to kind
of push it a little bit, you like your opinion like in the
Oaks will get into it. I really like South lawn to beat
pretty mischievous. I like that one, too.
I'm going to push that to the boxing, which would cause a
double the money to put all that on there.
So I get double the payout, right?
So if you do feel strongly about it, you don't want to waste that
money on a combination. That's not going to pay as Well,
and you can just put it all one way.
And that's a big conversation that horseplayers go back and
forth about, right? This is the most efficient way
to bet and all that sort of stuff.
So if you feel super strong, if you get a tip on the backside
saying this horse is going to win, just go ahead and put that
horse on top of the exact and put one more set of I'm like on
a normal race day. Sometimes it's too perfect.
Is throwing a dime and so you can box for horses for two
dollars and forty cents, right? And sometimes that's a really
fun way to kind of play a race to and and see if you can get a
bigger payout and you never once while but It's no more than just
a two-dollar win, bad. Really, you know that Exacta box
with the six-dollar bed. For example of allows you to
play the whole day for 75, 80 bucks, that kind of thing.
And so it's you know if you're on a budget you just want to
hang out one of every race. The Exacta box is an excellent
way to go. Thank you.
By the way, as you get into the harder to hit bets, the
denomination that you have to bet goes down.
So, the minimum for a win bet at Churchill Downs is $2.
The minimum for an exact is $1. As you get to a trifecta.
It's 50 Cent's and that is superfecta 10 cents.
So the harder it gets to predict the denomination's go down,
right? So they're actually reinstating
the 20% physics, six this year, I was stoned usually a dollar
and so you can actually play the pick six this year for the 20
cents and then ahead of that, At pick five pic for pic threes,
have a 50 Cent minimum. And then, of course, like we
mentioned the exact, as our dollar.
What is a pick three can pick three.
You got to pick the with the where, three races in a row,
right? And they have rolling pick
three. So it starts with a first or a
second base, third base, and throughout the day, back in the
day, it was like the late Daily Double.
There's only one that you could do.
Now they're just, you know, all over the board, right?
So, what's a daily done? Daily Double.
If you pick the winner, two in a row, right?
Two races in a row. You get it, right?
Of course, that's one benefit. You have, a, if you have Really
strong opinion about a long shot.
You can use that horse in one part of that Daily Double and
maybe use a couple of other horses have because the payout
is going to be better because you're using a longer shot.
It's a really excellent. Usually, the minimum on that is
a dollar as well as like parlay, right uniquely to them to come
to dance to come together, right?
And, you know, you could also just bet one horse to win, just
take all that money and put it on that next horse to win the
next race, but sometimes you get better odds.
You actually get better pay out when you pay today they do.
Double. So that's a nice way to really
maximize that, right? It was all right.
Let's pick some races guys, let's get into it.
We're going to start on Friday and we're going to start right
off the bat with race, five on which is the alley Shiva steaks.
It's a gray to with six hundred thousand dollars on the line and
what's really cool about Oaks and Derby weekend.
This year is we have last year's Derby winner in last year's Oaks
winner both on the card and Rich strike is in this race is amount
of 16th on the dirt but he's A very formidable opponent, an art
collector. A lot of other good horses in
here. Lily, where did you land in this
right now? Like, Kevin go first here, but
with the caveat that I think are collector, is one of the more
polarizing Derby winners. We've had recently Rich striking
me or a strike. Excuse me, our Glacier was
trashing their. Yes correct.
Sorry. Rich strike is one of the more
controversial to people. I think it's board Kevin about
the fact that he was 82 1. If he wins at 12:35, I think we
don't even talk about it. Yeah, maybe so Many people lost
money when epicenter didn't win, right?
Guy local. He gets a lot of the best horses
and as soon as he got there they started sending them to the
front sitting a little bit more forward.
And that really got him to run his best being more in the race
early on, that's where he was able to really take control and
he just turned back art collector as well as some other
good horses in that last race. What was the race and I can
Orleans classic New Orleans classic at the track where I
work. Yeah they they pay me.
Yeah he put them away so well, so dominant.
Italy and he had more to give, right?
So he's a he's a horse I think. So in this race, I think he's
going to be most competitive in the Breeders Cup Classic, which
is the older division male horses.
Biggest parts of the race of the year, at the end of the year.
He's, he's a solid horse in here.
I think he'll be a decent price with Rich strike and there who
take a lot of emotional money. People are attached to a horse.
You know, they want to just like you want about the Derby winner.
Yeah. You wanna get back on that
train. The trains already left West
will power is owned by the West Family, Gary, Mary West.
And that's the Staying connections that own maximum
security when he got dq'd from the Derby.
So they got a little payback at Churchill Downs, although they
race a larger dots all the way, west willpower has won at
Churchill as well as an optional flavor, but he's one of the
track before has around 100. 100 buyers speed figure.
That's the number. You see in the middle of the
form that's in bold and that is a way of measuring how, well, a
horse ran, a race at different tracks around the world so that
we can get an idea at least in the United States.
So we can get an idea of well it's a different surface or it's
a different, you know, it's different configuration or Or it
might be gives us an idea of how fast and how well the horse
actually ran West willpower far away.
The best few figures in this race.
Yeah, I think our collectors actually interesting here, he's
24-6 lifetime at Churchill. He either wins the race or he
misses the board. Mike, you love to say that a
horse is going to miss the board.
How we feel about our Collective?
I think, I think he has a lobbies live here.
I agree with these live here, at least he's got a shot.
That Pegasus is about as good. A grade one Runners.
We've seen the jab, right? So I think he's another one
that's very formal. I do agree that rich strike is
going to take a lot of emotional money.
And by the way, Louis brought up the fact about how important it
is to see how horses done at Churchill Downs before if they
better run there because there are some horses that just
flat-out do not like the service of Churchill Downs and you see a
horse, that's over at Churchill Downs, has never hit the board.
Churchill Downs. But it's racer, two, three, four
times. That's always a big question
mark. For me, it's one thing that I
always pay close attention to smile happy another grade to
winter at Churchill Downs. And you ran in the Kentucky,
Jockey Club as a two-year-old of the Fall.
So if you're looking for a longer price, of course, that's
done. Well as Churchill before did run
in the, he ran in Churchill, in the Kentucky, Derby last year.
And so, you look, if you're looking for a horse that was at
least of the quality to make the field last year, maybe to show
up those exact, as we talked about maybe use the five smile
happiness. All right.
Let's move on if you guys. Good good.
Alright, any questions by the way?
Anybody got anything? No, we're good.
Alright, we're going to move on to what is true?
Only one of my favorite races of the year and I want to lose as
well. We always say if you love horse
racing fall in love with the Phillies.
Because they race, two, three, four, maybe five seasons and
this is no exception. The watch one steaks, which is
great. One 750-thousand dollar Race by
the way, with that Sports gambling.
Bill expect these persons to go up even more.
I'm really excited about another Mana 16th, on the dirt, for
Phillies and mayors that are four year old and over.
And this is where we're going to see.
Last year's Oaks winner, secret oath, but she's going up against
a really, really talented field here with Society search
results. Although, all kinds of just
really good. A more is, I think of you really
saw. It's a battery of tomorrow and
it's good night all, you know, I'm a real bomber, a I guess I
miss her Pauline's pearls in this race.
Just a lot of really good horses you want to you want to go
first. I'll go first, I think this is a
spread race here because I do think there's a lot of quality
here. I do.
See, I I see secret oath as the class of this field Clary.
Are did not make the trip for this one.
I think that actually helps her out a lot because I think she's
going to be first or second for most of this race and be able to
kind of dictate Pace under Tyler.
Got finally on who's been the leading Rider at Churchill for
several years. Now, really knows the track.
Really knows when he needs to kick these horses in.
He's been on her. The last two times she's run,
including last time in the apple blossom at Oaklawn Park, which
she lost by a neck. So she's right there, she won
the timeout before that India's area, do quite, as well.
Going to turn to Come on the 16th.
We're going a mile on the 16th again here.
Early record at that distance is 447 lifetime.
She's got a real serious shot. I think here to win the race.
I'm really interested to see a mulwray here.
I don't know what she's going to do.
Ran really. Well not Beholder.
Mile on the west coast sometimes though.
We see these horses come out of these West Coast braces, Kevin
and it's hard to know if they're going to translate from Santa
Anita, obviously the Santa Anita Derby, a very good predictor for
success. In the Kentucky Derby, you think
she's A shot here under fluoro sugar?
Yeah, I think she's got a big shot.
I think she's got a big shot, you shouldn't.
It's almost the same story as well as willpower.
Now the horse that came over from a different trainer was
with Todd Pletcher, you know. Not that he's not a quality
trainer, he said he's okay, he's a fantastic greater it's 17
horses in the derby cover. Joint bank accounts is born.
It really just found new form. Talk about form, it's like when
you're at your best, you know, when you're really struggling
you're really when you really get your thing done and and
she's looking to look fantastic your body, one of The Mooring
line, I would like a little bit price what they about like post
position. We saw a lot of good runs from
horses on outside post today on a dirt track.
So I like to keep an eye on that, you know, like how the
horses are coming in. We start the tractor is running
best and it might set up really well for it for her but I mean
the price might be a little bit shorter than that.
I think an interesting one and here is that number six, classy
Edition. Hmm, speaking of Todd Pletcher.
Pretty lightly race against this field for year old Filly 141.
At this distance comes in here Fresh and one that I like to
look at like some horses, they need erase to really lock in and
getting to the best game face. Some horses, they can just be
chilling and training and get it.
Get it going. And they come out and they fire
fresh. She's one of the fire fresh from
really run. Well, off.
What we call Off the Bench, right?
Without a race though. She isn't based on February
18th, she seems like she's really silly on the improve
four-year-old Baker, third starts.
I think she's got something else to offer.
I read Ortiz, jr. One of the sharpest Riders out
there. Also one who will do whatever it
takes to get your Horse home. So he's a guy gets a little
dirty after sometimes, the only other horse that we really
didn't talk too much about search results.
The 2 is in this race. Ran in the Kentucky Oaks very
close. Second, the mouth at one of the
finest Phillies that we've had in recent years, came back won
the acorn, which is the yolks of Belmont essentially and then has
been running an absolutely massive.
Massive quality races since then was in that Breeders Cup distaff
in November, he mentioned horses Off the Bench, no one in the
game. Does that better than trainer
Chad Brown at 32%. So she's going to run really
well fresh. She's been at Churchill for the
last couple weeks and so she's actually got her recorded works
at Churchill, Flavia and proud aboard.
The two of them together are recently hitting at 28 percent.
So they're winning over a quarter of their mouths
together. I think the to search results is
an absolute include here. All right, I'm going to ask a
question here of our man. Kevin who's been on the backside
with me every morning? Yeah.
Typically year after year Wayne Lukas is very present on the
backside. Yeah I just present this year,
it's horses. Got here late.
You think that's any sign at all with secret oath of?
Maybe, she's not as live as we think she is.
I think that's interesting. So, last year yet, she won the
Oaks every morning. 5:15 a.m. secret author's, first horse out
there and coaches still getting up, still get up on the horse,
you know, he's on the pony, going along with her.
Maybe whatever is that's how he runs his shit.
Yeah, I think that's a good point, you know, the captain's
just not present the same way that they can add something, you
know, you're at her. So I think that's a good point.
All right, the 11th race is. The main event on freshwater a
price in their 32:1. On this 63 caliber Tom Amos
horse. I don't know if we get 31, it's
owned by my race horse which is a big, big group of owners,
right? And they all throw their money
on the horse. You might not get the price that
you want, sometimes. But I think she could be live in
your I think they did really pointing towards this race of.
She's been working really sharp in the mornings.
She had won her perform a little bit dirtied, up a bad race last
race, but you look a couple back.
She's she's definitely live compete against these.
That is the three horse in this race that he just talked about.
Yeah. So that's almost like that.
I'll use her underneath, right? I think she's going to win but I
really like a couple of horses on top to win.
I'll use your like to come in second or third and the exact of
the trifecta that horse for me in this race like that, Who's
going to win? I think I think I think she
would actually be gone who continues to just hit the board
in these spots. Yeah I don't get it.
But whatever. That's not my job.
It's just my job to look at the analytics and say that she's
been hitting the board. So the eight desert on would be
my pick to counter him there. And so desert gone horse, maybe
you don't like to win but you could be a place showed that you
don't have to do. Win place show, you can do a two
dollar play show for four dollars and get desert on or if
you're playing those exact. Just maybe she's the one that
picks off, S ice, right? It pays 30 35 to 1 that kind of
number once we get into that kind of place.
So, another another Philly, I, we're looking all right, which
one desert fill them up and embarrass please a to ride her.
Yep. On the, in the 11th, race is the
main event of Friday. It is the Kentucky Oaks And the
grade one Kentucky, Oaks Course of modern age for Phillies that
are three years old, 1.25 million dollars on the line
here. I, this is the one for sure that
you guys want to watch the weather, because if it rains at
all dump, all your money on the 7 horse webpage.
And by the way, and my opinion should dump all your money on
the 7 horse. Wet paint.
No matter what. Anyway, but this horse has won
twice in the slop and last time out the it was picture perfect
weather and she dominated. I Do you like wet paint?
I actually think she has to fall down once to lose but these guys
I know like some of these other horses in here as well.
Can I go on? You've got a, you've got an
opinion that I'm hearing more and more on the backside.
I hate to tell you that because I think that it's 18 happen.
So gross, as for something that's how it goes.
I'll steam on the back side. It's been on her the last three
races. She's 3 and 0 to X in the slop
one. Time over over dry, go every
single time. And so if it does rain, they're
ready, if it doesn't rain the ready.
She is a, that was the question rightly going into that fantasy
was, can she get it done over the dry go?
It's interesting that some horses.
Just love the slop. They just do that.
She's one of them. For sure, broker made.
No good slop wins. Those two races at Oaklawn over
the slop but then it dried out. Perfect day when they ran the
fantasy in the Arkansas Derby, and she was terrific.
And the Oaks field is a little different this year because the
Phillies that were really good as two year, olds have not
really shown up as three-year-olds and Wonder Wheel
who did when the juvenile Philly, kind of got in the back
door into the race in the first place but the two year old
Billy's really have kind of declined in.
We've had some late developing horses you know kind of stolen
the show here. Yeah so quick story about Wonder
Wheel, the trainer Mark hasse he was talking him today.
You said, listen, my wife's got two dresses for the weekend,
right? She's got a derby dresses.
He's got another dress, which is a nice dress, but it's, there
are other dress. She said, I told her where
you're gonna be dressed on Friday.
Oh, are you doing dressed like that?
Winner's Circle. But here's the thing.
She just she has a long as you had the two-year-old service, a
champ, as a two-year-old. She's Gotta watch her every
morning. She's training really well,
she's super sharp. He says, her competitive, juices
are flowing. Where's the last race?
They weren't You can interpret that as she's got a game face.
All right, she's ready to roll working in April at Churchill,
right? I mean, so it's not as though
she can't take to the track. I think she's live for to like,
I totally agree with you. I think she's a wild card here
even at 12:48 because she hasn't done it as a three-year-old, as
you mentioned, I. But, you know that Ashland was
it was ugly. It was ugly.
It was not, it was not a good race for ugly.
The only thing about the Ashland that I always tell people, is
they use that first Finish Line at Keeneland for And some
horses. Need the stretch.
She needs to stretch. She's gonna get that at
Churchill in Spades. So I think the five Wonder Wheel
is absolutely a play here at 12:48.
I agree with Mike. I think my pain is absolutely
the class of the race. Why don't you tell everybody
about South lawn? This horse that keeps gaining
momentum? As people talk about her more
and more. So Southall wasn't much as a
two-year-old. She has throat surgery.
Lot of times horses have public breathing, right?
They call like entrapment where they can't have that brute that
but like shuts off while they're in the rapist, right?
And this can't really be fully express your talent.
Get surgery in between two year olds a three-year-old.
She came back out. Who made this move on the rail
early on the race? Everybody's like, oh Ray the
jockey like why'd you let her open?
She's gonna lose now. She's kept on going.
Yeah, go ahead. Yeah.
But Oaks Oaks race Lebanon Friday at South bond is the
horse we're talking about it. She's trained by Norm.
Cassie. Who is Mark son?
He was Mark son and she's doing great on the racetrack in the
morning. She looks really live.
She's gonna run a big race, the other horse, I like it.
We are like south on the Wind, pretty Mission as she Drew
poorly. She's on the far outside.
A tough spot to be in. She got tired of definitely old,
he's won the title last six meets at Churchill, she's
putting the blinkers on meaning that she's gonna wear this
little cup around her eyes, right?
And the trainer's, what he's thinking is when she passes
horses because she almost won the fairgrounds Oaks she passed
and she got lost out there sir. A damn what they kind of feel
comfortable when they're running together, but she was in front.
She just kind of, like, didn't keep all going.
So that's going to keep her focus on the finish line and
Brendon Walsh. He plays one three or four races
so far and the first verse three days before inspiring.
So if you swap, Talk about pretty mischievous.
Okay. Yep.
Yeah, you want it but horses want to be in the group.
That's right. And so if they can't see that
they're not in the group, then they're good to go.
That's right. There are some horses.
I don't mind being out front of those are real winners.
If you want a backside horse that I watch today out of her
mind promised her America's the 8:30 to 11, the gazelle at
Aqueduct can be unlike the boys trips through New York.
The girls trips to New York are more indicative of success.
Mouth that came out of the gazelle more indicative.
Of success in the Oaks than in the derby from the Wood
Memorial. I don't, I don't know if I'm
including her, but if you want a horse that's keyed up, ready to
go, she gets on that surface. She's ready to go.
So that's the eighth or skier. 32:1 promised, her America.
That's a daughter of American pharoah, so pretty.
Yeah, you're pretty young Pharaoh's.
All right, you may have heard of him and so he did.
Okay, he did. All right, so one of those and
then another horse in here that I didn't like on the track today
was to finding purpose. She just want to keep In the
Ashland. And I did not like how she
looked on the track here and trainer, Kenny McPeak.
Only goes 12% with his horse, has won their last race.
It's his worst angle. One in eight, actually win the
next race. So, I have not unit using the 11
defining purpose here at all. I would even rather promised our
America. I would rather use her little
local ownership group right there with that horse.
All right, let's move on to Saturday, which is, of course,
Derby Day your question again. Good question.
So the question about how bad does that 14 posts hurt?
The chances here. Go ahead, kept you, because you
brought that up. Yeah, to talk a bit about that.
So, pretty mischievous. She's a really easy to ride
Philly, right? So a lot of times you might have
a horse, it just has to be in a certain spot and they're gonna
kind of dictate things. T gasket can figure it out,
right, he can get here to this spot.
So, in terms of, it's a tough spot to be not where you want to
because you might get called live zero.
In it a longer race, everybody else is on the inside, right?
You might get caught up a little bit of a Chase there but I think
she's real fine. Good position.
It does though making what you South on second though, you
know? So it is it is different.
I think she's all right. Now we're not going to talk
about this race but you're going to see a future superstar in
race one. Just circle that horse extra
Anejo second straight run horse in the first row.
Second race ever This horse will be in the Breeders Cup and some
race ones where there are two horses in that race that are
potential. Absolute Superstars.
Yeah. The one horse extra añejo and
then federal judge is the three horse in the first race of the
day at Churchill 97, buyer. His first time on the track,
aquiline, excuse me o'clock, going six.
Furlongs if that translates to Churchill Downs, I mean, we ran
he ran a maiden in under a minute 10.
So this is just a little Saturday first race first race
is worth watching. I only bring it up because it's
at 10:30 in the morning, right? It's sometimes y'all ain't ready
for that. So you'll throw up there.
You throw your phone on, just check out the loading.
The street in that slot years ago, right, we had a horse being
National came out on Derby Day and everyone is really excited
about them. And then he that's because we
sold my Breeders Cup day. Yeah, we were before and he
torched the track of Kaitlyn right now when that thing was a
parking lot with more actually went to ReDiscover basically.
Yeah, that's just one to watch early on.
So extra añejo is the one and federal judge is the threes of
your cigar guy or tequila God. You kind of like that, you're
all covered. The race is where we're going to
start and we are going to go through the Pick, 5 sequence
right here again, so you want to play the pick five.
This is where you can probably win, like a jackpot type Race.
So however, we're Sorry about this pad De Mi Louis in this
field. Very, very, very close as far as
like there's there's several horses in this race, I can come
up a win it. So the patent, a bile is a
one-mile Race. So if you've ever watched a race
of the Churchill, they have that long shoot at the beginning of
the track, they start at the very top of that shoot and then
they run one turn around to the Finish Line.
This is essentially in this race all but I think one of these
horses is called is what we call L3 of, okay?
They're 14. Horses here, all 11 of them were
nominated for the Triple Crown so their ownership group
thought, enough of them to pay the fee to allow them to run in
the derby or the Preakness or the Belmonts.
Okay. Now if you win this race we
might see on Belmont. Yeah.
Right. That's still a thing that could
actually happen. We're talking about three year
olds, we're talking about horses that are still developing like
Kevin talked about kind of figuring out that like get good
in college kind of thing, right? And so this is a, usually, the
winner of this race, like goes on the big thing, okay?
After this is a very important race for three years. olds and
it's restricted to three year olds and I think it has become a
A really wonderful. A good staple of Derby Day here
at Churchill Downs. Kevin, I is the favorite 922 or
72. Okay, we got a 72 favorite in
Echo. Again, coming out of an
allowance racing team and that's how open this view of this, we
like here. Yeah, you know, it is a wide
open race, I think, you know, it's it a lot of horses can get
it done in here. There's a lot of interesting
spots we obviously just talked about the talent so a lot of
times a wide open race has I want to take a price, right?
I want to want to look for for some of the value in here
because it's a murky picture. Right is unclear for a lot of
the betters and so it's an opportunity.
You know it's not pertain to try to take a shot so the prices I
like in here speak about Brendon Walsh.
Gilmore Gilmore's been working with that horse pretty
mischievous that Oaks horse to 11 here in the mornings and
working well with her, right. I think his barns fire and like
I was just talking about 12 to 1, the more like going to be a
good price. I read Ortiz, Junior, where the
top jockeys in the world, he's up.
And they've been teaming up really well. 20% of last.
In this horse Damon's Mound is sneaky Michelle level.
She's one of the most Kick-Ass trainers out there just a really
good person or my horse you want a horse.
Yeah well I mean like the toenail famous Mound and extra a
ho were all the bus horses, two years old.
Yeah right. No question and Damons Mound.
You know, just took a little time in developing and
Michelle's not want to rush, somebody gives the Derby.
She wants to do what's right by the horse, right?
And last race tried, he she's a real good Turf trainers, put her
on the turf, put him on the turf, and he just spun his
wheels. He didn't do any running, I
didn't like I've been I've been talking to his exercise Rider,
talking to Michelle and he's ready to roll.
He's going, he's going to run a good race, right?
Is it good enough to beat these guys?
Have a good price. If you want to get your money
behind it, we talked about bullet Works.
He's got one of Churchill in April.
I just ran the 47 and change over 44.
Honest as well over the half mile four out of eight.
Right? For a long time.
And so yeah, I mean he's flying right now and you get Gaby sighs
is Guy where I really trust and the irons as well.
The two of them are around, 12% of Churchill Downs which is what
you're talking about 20 21 horses.
That's a really respectable number, right?
I do man, there are a couple horses that I like a little bit
more than others, but the one I'm most interested in is Fort
Bragg. This was actually a bob after
training. He was on the Derby Trail,
obviously transferred to the Tim, Yak team Barn, if anyone's
following this. The Bedford obviously, not
allowed to have horses at Churchill right now, to be
octane's. His former assistant trainer,
and so has taken on a lot of those forces Fort.
Bragg is one of them. We ran in the San Felipe up.
The track under Juan Hernandez, they put Joel Rosario on in the
Florida, Derby up the track again.
His best runs were over a mile or excuse me, a mile or less,
and we're getting back to a 17 Mile for him here.
I'm really interested to see if just going the one turn figures
out some things for Fort Bragg here.
He's 92 to ease the 7 horse here.
On the on the line I think he's got a serious shot a horse.
I am Mega fascinated to see here is the Swale winner which is a
great three race at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach just
outside of Miami. His name is General.
Jimmy's the nine horse here, he's one of these guys that was
Triple Crown nominated. He's a son of into Mischief, a
very fine horse. It's Mom is by curling.
So that's a as a royally bred horse, they paid only 850
thousand dollars for it. So this is a horse that they
think a lot of Louis sizes in the Irons.
He has started the meet at 43% of Churchill Downs.
He is flying around the track right now.
He hit the board in six of his first seven races at Churchill.
He is seeing the track like a crazy man right now.
I think General Jim, the 9 has legitimately serious shot.
Then I mentioned Echo again, he's coming out of Oakland Park.
A lot of horses seem to like the transition from Arkansas to
Kentucky shorter price here because it is Steve asmussen as
most. Thank you, sir and florals are
room. And so the two of them Terrible
record together. So, if you wanted to try to beat
a favorite in this sequence Echo, again, might be that that
that that horse to beat here has been at Churchill, he's doing
the Steve asmussen, trains the 50s, the 10 ones and the kind of
easy goes but he is the favorite here.
You son of a gun Runner One of my favorite horses ever.
So you know, hard for me to go get the kids have done Runner.
He's the five in this race but a lot of horses that we thought
might do, more, Kevin illuggan. I defrosted departure horses
like this that we expected to see more involved with the Derby
Trail ending up in this passage it curly Jack has well yeah
Iroquois winner makes takes 42 year olds.
He had bad trips and it's two races of Fairgrounds really
static position and just didn't run to his spot.
I think he's gonna love being back at Churchill.
He'll be a good. Good price set.
Of course, coming out of time. A mrs.
Barnes. It could be interested.
Absolutely. That's actually my play right
there. There was.
Yeah. I think the mile distance might
be perfect for him so we'll see what happens there.
All right. Then ninth, the ninth race is.
We're going to go on the turf. Now, if you follow the turf
course, at all Churchill Downs, they rebuilt it last year.
It was a complete and total disaster, and they've had to do
some major, major fixing up of it.
But so far, what do we think of the turf course Kevin going into
the weekend? Yeah, they looks.
Seems like it's playing fair, I ride horses.
Are women from coming off, the pace up, going the front.
And yeah, I think, I think the frontrunners winning closer to
winning. It seems to be paying my
improve. So this is a mom, a 16 on the
turf is the American Turf Stakes.
Great to 500,000 our race. Kevin, do you like this one?
Yeah, it's is tough. And I do think that this major
dude who was on the outside looking into getting the Derby,
right? He was, he was almost gonna run.
He's been looking good in the mornings.
Turf is his spot. Yep.
The price is going to be A short interprets.
I want to get a price because things get crazy.
They don't do, the running. Really tell the entrance and you
kids harder work at a trip because they make it bottled up
like a finishes. Yeah.
So middle since March kinnock Peak agreed, it's sitting at
Tipitina's, New Orleans and he's like the best three-year-old has
been on since March. So three horses, right?
Like this. And so finally we could see his
march on the turn back on. It's your far Bridges, an
interesting horse, because we're restricted to three-year-olds
here. You're seeing a lot of horses
who are trying graded company for the first time.
Trying that Stakes company, the highest level for the first time
and so far Bridges, one of those forces has been running over.
The Turk course, at Gulfstream Park has two wins.
And two, goes both at solid speed figures in the time of
both races is the kind of time that can win at Churchill Downs.
A minute 39. A minute 41, very attractive to
me, looking at him. I agree about Mendel's is
Marshall horse that I think is the wild card here is Johannes.
The 5-under Umberto rispoli Timmy octene trains coming out
of the Pasadena. It's a listed Stakes at Santa
Anita, the to turn, one mile course at at Santa Anita in a
buck 33 interested to see if that California Turf, speed
translates to Churchill Downs, part of the difficulty of the
new Turf courses, we don't have answers for some of these
questions. Now, part of the good thing
about that is you might get a price to, right?
And so that could be part of that too.
That's the 5 horse in this race. And then I thought I had one
more Did you do Carl spackler? Is the 11.
Thank you. This is what to do.
I do it once in a while you just have to play the jockey trainer
combination on a certain surface, this is Chad Brown and
Iran Ortiz. If you leave the 11 out of your
tickets in this race, you've done a disservice tire stores on
the turf or the Irish horse am also a good point by you.
It's so yeah. So all the 11 as well, I think
in here is an absolute play, but I love the amount of restricted
three-year-old race. As we get on these cards because
they are so fun to have. Yeah, I've been spent a lot of
time at the link. Had a lot on Barn.
They're really high on the 13 and the winner is who I don't
like to win, but I think that's a sneaky horse.
That could add a long shot to hit the board, maybe for your
exotic place as well. But they've been really really
high on that horse. All weekend are all week since
we try great, a company for the first time last time that the
Transylvania Keeneland sometimes horses just need that
experience. Against better horses.
Come back. The second time with that
experience, 32, 1 in the morning when I Typically think, of
course, is that like Keeneland, don't like Churchill.
So that that's one of the things that came intercourse
translates. The turquoise does, it's roughly
translated? That's true.
All right, let's go the tune, which is the Churchill Downs,
Stakes. It is a great one 750,000
dollars, we're going to see a really cool horse here with a
really cool story. So, the 7 horse, Cody's wish is
literally Cody's wish. So, this was a Make-a-Wish, the
foundation and a little boy. And Cody went to the
Make-A-Wish. Ation and he wanted to have this
horse who went on to win the Breeders Cup.
It's been just this um I'm getting Goose Bumps even talking
about this is just like storybook finished and just
Cody's wish is going to be a huge number here.
But is he is he vulnerable? Kevin like usually small number
just fall asleep. Like he's gonna be a four to
five. I think Williams in the morning,
lines up, as he bondable, Kevin, everybody's full, right and
baseball replica lose a race. He's solid, he's and build
mosques Bourne. Film is really good with horses
who haven't run, you know, together 16 of the Breeders Cup.
So he's really good at getting them ready.
Yeah. I mean I think Cody's which is
the most likely winner in here. It's always hard for your
stomach short, priced me to buy the five, something like that,
but he's the best in this field but you're playing the pick five
and you can single erase. It makes your ticket a lot
Slimmer as far as the prices. So, yeah, that could be a play
here. If you single the same horse,
everybody else. It takes away a lot of value.
So it's gonna be really sad. Zebra because Ag and, you know,
so that's that's what that's by. But that's also, you know, I
shoot myself in the foot all the time and to try to be too too
wise guy, you know, so coach Cody's wish he can run Lou, you
actually really like a long shot in this race.
Not to throw you off from her train of thought.
I apologize. I think hear me song.
The 332 one on this line is absolutely a player here.
One the Commonwealth last time out at Keeneland over seven
furlongs ran it about 23. The race was very fast up front
and then slow down for him when he got.
Around that turn he was able to make up the difference, there
was near the back of the pack, was able to pick it up.
Interested to see him move here, five year old gelding son,
across traffic. They buried the source for 7,500
bucks. He's made over a half million
dollars in his career. You talk about investing.
You talk about, you talk about a horse of a lifetime.
I love these kinds of horses. I just think, Alex the shark, by
the way, was a grade one where he won the Maker's.
Mark mile at Keeneland serious shot here to actually get him in
a good position. One that great three
Commonwealth. Like, I mentioned last time at
Keeneland seems to be working. Well, I love the other part of
this is there's a very small barn.
This is there, this is there horse.
This is the guy and they're trying to grade 12, Churchill, I
don't know that, it wins the race I'll because he is late
speed here. I could see him pick it off.
A couple of horses that are tiring down the stretch and
he'll fill out your exact your Trifecta with that. 32 one kind
of number because I think you're going to get all of 32 1 I do
think, by the way, the most serious threat you like endorse
this mysterious? Yep.
I think. Why the Barrio on the inside?
The one is a mile or horse showed it.
The cigar mile. I never hold it against horses.
If they don't like the deeper surfaces on Long Island.
Either, an aqueduct at Belmont, very Sandy, very deep surface
has, a lot of times they come to Churchill Downs and like that.
It's not as deep as those New York tracks and so why did
borrow the 1621 on the morning line?
I think it's a, really, really fair price.
Last year's Florida, Derby winner.
Anything else to add on that one?
Kevin Yeah, I think, yeah, I think.
Yeah, I can I can say too much. I'm just going to stop.
This year, he he was supposed to just run in New York spiked a
fever. So he got out of the forget they
were mile race. You're one of those.
He won an optional claimer Go free.
Yeah. But they had to scratch them out
of a race. I'll get April in New York and
so you try had to travel back to Florida.
Now, he's back up here. I've interviewed.
Yeah, I've interviewed you before and the thing that he
likes to do is get his horses to the track.
Running at the latest date possible.
So he's got kind of a baffert in them that way where he did Hill.
If it's Derby on Saturday, I'll fly in on Tuesday, kind of
thing. He doesn't mind his horse, only
kind of getting used to the track that way.
So I imagine what have are? You didn't even get here until
yesterday Monday, something like that and that he'll keep them
in. As normal.
He likes to keep horses comfortable in their normal
environment, so, but he's right here before obviously, ran
third, what did he run through the Jockey Club?
I think that I think they're discovering that that's what he
is between the one-mile shoots in New York at that girl, was
screaming at Churchill Downs. I think he'll get plenty racism.
Okay, this is one of those races that were coming up on that is
always just star-studded and a huge race.
It is the old Forester, which used to be the Woodford, the
bourbon Turf, classic million dollars.
Grade 1 Mana, 16th on the turf. Louis, could you like here
everybody? Yeah, yeah.
Hit the all button. Hit it on the head as many as I
can. Again, we have another question.
Fill the motto again coming in from the west coast of the horse
named Hong Kong Harry. He's the seven.
He is the morning line favorite here.
He ran six times last year, he won five of them, the other
race. He came in second will that Turf
speed from California? Translate to the new Surface.
We don't know yet but if it does Hong Kong here, he's not just
going to win this race. Could be a blood bath.
I think that he could run away with us.
He's that talented. Here's one run one time this
year, he ran into kill roll mile at at Santa Anita.
We're going a mile and an eighth year.
Okay, so we're going 10, we're going 94 lungs, excuse me.
He only got a mile in the kill row and if you look at the
sheet, he's right there, right there, right there, and he just
needed a little bit more time. In my opinion, he gets another
for a long. I think he wins the race ends up
fourth, don't look at that position.
We talked about this with the surprises.
Get a lot of blanket finishes, right?
He's forth by a length and a quarter.
So literally his head is this far behind a horse.
And that's how much he lost and people listening.
I'm holding my hands about shoulder-width apart and so so
don't don't get too caught up in that.
He ran a really good figure. This is his second race this
year. We call that s awful.
Lay off. He took a little bit of time off
here but I feel the model puts horses on this kind of layoffs
at 25 percent winning percentage in these kinds of races.
You get, Flavia a adhere, the two of them together, 30%
winners. So if we're going to Choose a
favorite interface like this, that's who it's going to be a
cabin. We know this about these myelin
a for Alpha Races by the way, the mile and an eighth about
race on the guy. On the grass at Churchill is my
favorite race in the world. I love it.
I don't know why totally in love with it.
I think there's a lot of tactical things that go on.
Kevin. I mean, there's a lot of places
you can land here. Yeah, I mean, the two that I
like the best ever, ate, 17, and never night spooky Channel.
Sure to get one on top and overnight spooky channel is the
one Jason Barclays already got two wins on the meat.
He's coming out hot. We're talking about Brandon
Walsh and this is a horse that was down at Fairgrounds with me
and spend some time with and talk with those guys a lot.
And it's an English Channel. English Channel as a sire, his
horses to keep on getting better as opposed to worse with AIDS to
keep on developing finding themselves.
Digging more to Amy's, my no 2nd's.
Another English Channel who sell really well and last race is
super impressive by spooky Channel.
It was a slow pace. He was still able to run down
the front. Rock Rudder was my guy.
All right? Rising Empire, who I think was
second favor, some of his next race but couldn't get it done.
But spooky Channel, I think we'll get a good price.
People don't bet Berkeley horses too much and except for maybe
Jason, that's a little bit on. And I think, I think he's alive
and he's stepping forward. That race was really
interesting, too, because the the turf course at Fairgrounds
this year was made very narrow because of an irrigation issue.
And so to be a closer on that trip, course, you had to be
really precise. The lanes were a lot skinnier.
So he's gonna have a lot more space to work with here at
Churchill Downs and sir. Gonna be able to use more of the
turf course, then they did down at Fairgrounds.
And so if you're able to close on that course, absolutely must
play. Alright, the grade one, Kentucky
Derby, the 149th running of the Kentucky Derby, Mama quarter.
First time, these sources are gone, demonic order first time,
they've been in 20, or to the old, they're going to be in
front of 165 to 175,000 people, because the weather is going to
be awesome. And we're going to have three
million dollars on the line for this race.
What we're going to do is we're going to go through each horse
individually. I'm going to have Louis and
Kevin here just say if this horse is a toss, if this horse
is a contender or this is a horse they like to hit the
board. So it's an interesting thing you
bring up here, I think when you get to this many horses in a
field you have to start - and then go positive.
It's not. Can this horse win?
You have to start tossing. It does eliminate, you have to
live it? Yeah, I agree with you.
Yes, I think it's more. Who do we think can't win the
race? Rather than who do we think can
become I think, once you get down, I don't know Kevin.
How many do you try to get down to it?
A 20 or field, 68? Yeah, this is a tough field.
I don't think he wins for two reasons.
One is out of the wood and the second is the one hole.
One hole is very difficult to win from, but it's shown that
horses over perform their odds and hit the board from the one
wreck our side about that on our show.
Yes. And so to me this is a horse
that if you're playing a trifecta play in the Kentucky
Derby but one hit show was absolutely in include either in
second or third place. Toss for me.
Could I like this horse? You know, I just I gotta toss, I
got sauce because I'm going. So I don't forget real role.
I think frankly, Yeah. That's exactly.
Yep. All trying hunted during this
phase the other. The other thing too, I don't
know that there's been a horse, that's had a tougher
back-to-back draw, you had drew the 13 in the wood, he draws the
one in the Kentucky Derby, just a bad luck horse that way.
So I think in the future we'll see good things for him Rick
because I do think he's got all the connections that make sense.
Candy rides are always great to happen on the mom's side and
Brad Cox will definitely put him in.
Sponsoring the toss for me is that he ran Churchill Downs.
He didn't run. Well Well, and coming all that
one hole. So there it is.
But I do think that the to horse which is also want to brag Cox's
Tyler. Definitely on a board verifying.
This is a horse. Maybe they couldn't afford.
What do you think Louis? I don't like him.
And I don't know why. I don't like it.
I wish I had a reason that I don't like it, but I don't like
them. So he's definitely gonna win the
Kentucky Derby. And his daddy did?
Yeah. No, that's right.
He's gonna justify. I love how he looks.
I just don't like a pivot on them.
Yeah, I think I think he hit his Peak form as a two-year-old and
I know I don't think he's gonna keep on step forward.
I think we've seen the best remote and he's got a tight
spot. He should have to Sin from
there. He's got to assume, but he's
gonna have to get used up a little bit.
So I'm tossing verifying to Things.
I would say if you like tap at Rice, which I think a lot of
people to you only beat this horse by a neck in the Bluegrass
Stakes. So that's why I like verifying,
which I don't like the next horse, the three horse to Phil's
and these two guys do. So let's go ahead and go to
Phil's. He was trained by Reveille and
won the 100 Point Race with the Jeff Ruby Stakes.
Tell me why they should love to Phil's Louis.
Love to Phil's, okay? I don't know that you should
love to Phil's, but I do think about a week ago, you love.
Oh, no 12:00 to 1:00. Yeah, I feel that good luck.
No, that's, that's the kind of price.
I'm looking for the Derby. I, the question is, do they
horses come off the synthetic course, at turquoise is a
different surface. It's not dirt, it's not Turf.
It's a synthetic course. At Turfway Park, can they come
off of that course and run? Well on the dirt at Churchill
Downs. The answer so far is absolutely.
In other races that we've seen, whether it's in claimers are
allowed traces. We even saw to Keeneland the
form from Turfway Park travels. Not sure why that's not my
business, but it does. It's so I think to Phil's is
absolutely live. Do I love the three?
I do not, but he always makes his own trip Kevin and I think
that he's capable of doing it here as well.
Yeah, I think is absolutely tendered.
He's a horse that he likes to run with cover with horses in
front of them. You relaxes really well and he
knows how to make his one run. He, he should be just sitting
right behind, you know, maybe, like in fifth, they've got five
links back from the front. We'll see how it works out.
And probably get that first Ron as those frontrunners are kind
of getting tired, right? And they've been on the leading.
They can't make the distance. Three Pope's ring.
We're going 1, 2 3 we're trying to go right in order for you.
Yep. Not against them is Jared.
The trainer has never brought a horse to the derby and that's
the stuff you know you want to have it was sort of game plan,
been there, done that sort of stuff.
It gets tough getting that gate such as a job, right?
So those are some knocks there, but Jarrod is a fantastic
writer, he knows the horse. Well, he's been on them all the
time. So maybe another one though,
that you Us. If it does rain in some kind of
free thinking, one in the slop at Churchill, Downs in the
street. Since that field was not very
good in my opinion, when he went back on the dirt, it Oakland
Park in, in making the fairgrounds, I'm sorry, it's
very girl's gonna come apart when against a better horses and
really didn't show out against, you know, horses that I'm sorry.
Not fair. No fair guys, not Oakland Park,
one trigger lost two angels Empire, who I do like a lot,
lots of sun Thunder, who's a longer shot.
Not in this race lost instant coffee and I'm not a big instant
coffee fan at all. So I for that reason that's why
I'm tossing but maybe if it does rain, that's a horse that you
would include. All right, the four horse
Confidence Game can't keep the swarm of is the trainer toss
keep or toss Contender or get the money the board.
I'm going to turn around like have Atomic, he can win this
thing, he gonna win this thing. What am I big angles for the
Derby? And I've been talking about is
who's really feel themselves who's coming into there?
Race and he as look as good or not better than anybody out
there sharp work he opened up the to a stride right off the
bat. It's been he can start and stop,
right? You're going to start and stop
in the derby. There's so much trash.
Sure, he can get stopped and still go right into his run,
right? Some horses are too big the
tooth. They can't, they can't do it.
He is a little bit light. He hasn't raced since the rebel
which is a big question. Mark agree.
Keith is hormoz. Been been working with them.
Well, though, in the morning I think he at He's ready to roll.
I think he could surprise everybody.
So I like I like him as a contender.
That's the four horse. He's 20 21.
Yes. If he could start and stop
those. You have a late kick or does he
just flop last raised? Let me just look real quick.
I think I've got him finishing through.
The line is kind of like how I think about it, right?
Can he can't get the distance and all that you know he's a
kiddie ride is good for the distance and he's you know
members and yada yada yada sisters is Mom, right?
So the I think he, I think he's got that.
Yeah, galloped out well and that last one so I think he can.
I think you can get keep all coming through the longest.
Did he won though? He won the rebel.
This is a horse for me that if you look at the Herald-Leader,
I've actually picked this horse to hit the board in my Herald
Leader picks. We had to pick who we thought
was incoming. First, second, third, and I
always want to pick a long shot with the board confidence game
with my launch I did before. Yeah he won that race in the
slop. I think we're going to be dry on
Derby Day. Put the horse has shown that he
works. Well, dry there every day or on
the Churchill Downs. Excuse me, 59 and change over 4.
Rolex, a bullet workout during Derby week 54, other fifty,
three other horses involved in that work.
If you believe in Works, go ahead and use them, I am not
going to be using commas, all right?
The five horse tap, its rice 10, top Pleasures horses.
The last horse to win out of 50 was 2017 with always dreaming
but we saez aboard. This may be the most talented
horse in the field is maturities.
Going to be the question mark. So to me he's a contender.
Louis. Yeah, I mean just because he
doesn't lose right? He does not lose any part of.
It is just when horses are willing to get to the front and
win that matters, we're talking about three year olds and
talking about horses that are developing Still That Matters.
And so I think it is worth it to include them in your tickets.
I think you're going to get all the 5 to 1 by the way, you well
yeah, I think you might even get 621 on this horse.
So if you have a real strong opinion, you know, son of tap it
here of course I don't know that there's a lot - about him other
than he comes out of a prep that.
Predictably is not great for the Kentucky, right?
That was even but he went to Tampa as well.
Yes, we've shown that it can travel.
He can win. I like horses that can win over
dif different tracks shoulder, you know, show their metal at
different places, right? So if you win in Tampa, you can
win in Lexington. Maybe you can wait a little bit
Aqueduct, five, not going to do it as one at four different
tracks already, which is really good.
I agree. I think I think that's a real
positive with young horses. Yeah.
I hundred percent get why people like to have a Trice that's
horse. I'm not going to use.
Yeah, I think he's a horse that really likes it.
Run on the outside. A lot of tablets do they like to
be kind of free and clear in their run he drew five which was
a like the only horse that really oppose addition is a huge
consideration is to have a Trice.
He threw to the inside. That's a tough spot.
To be some tough workout that trip.
I think he's going to be better from the Belmont microwell
there. Luis.
Saez is the guy who could get him outside, write it.
So if you like a horse, yeah, lose any Davis essential
quality, right? He got him outside, you know?
And that would have been all right.
The six horse is Kings Barnes. This is another one of time
Fletcher's, a winner of the Louisiana Derby, which is amount
of 3/16, a lot of the other pepper.
It prep races really am on a date.
So this is a little bit longer. The only two that are monthly
16th. Is this one in the UAE Derby?
So, Kings Barnes though had a very slow kind of run at it.
A lot of people kind of discount, I'm I'm not using
them. Go to Kevin.
Kevin was there for this Rose, go talk to me when the biggest
race of the meat but He did it with nobody putting pressure on
them, he just has loose on the lead.
It was able to run off with it speed.
Figures makers, have trouble, making these numbers and
everything and I think we still trust that race.
He had it easy. I'm going to paint this guy
lightly race, three times. Their race is a two-year-old,
this knocks on him. We're going we're only going on
an extra 60th of a mile from that race, but he ran that model
3/16 in a minute 57. And I think that the whole Derby
is going to be running about 20 one, right?
Or 20 to something like that. He's just not fast.
Enough, it isn't lobbying, perhaps fault that he rocked
everybody to sleep. I got of the front panel to just
take over that pace and win a million dollar race that's not
as well. That's his job.
And so I'm not holding that against lobbying, I'm not
holding it against the horse, but I grew this guy's these
guys. I think he's just not fast
enough for these Kings Barnes though is the only undefeated
horse in the race. Ironically, this will be his
fourth race in his fourth different jockey.
One of the things I watch when you get to this is you had a
job. You what?
On this horse last time and chooses to ride another Course
the jockeys would like to win that three million dollar purse.
So we're going to get on the best shot that they have that
three million dollar purse. So that's a big night kind of
knock on me, for me Kings. Barnes is a six-horse.
We're moving on now to the second.
The seven is reincarnate and I when I'm on the back side, I
look at horses. Like I said, you don't like the
track. I do not think that this horse
likes the track. If I was going to again,
eliminate horses, he would be the second horse that I would
toss from the Derby. There's no way that I would use
this horse whatsoever which means he's definitely going to
hit the border. So so reincarnate is an absolute
loss to me. I'll say this, if you think Rich
strike happens again. Play the second toss.
Strike happens again. Okay, we're gonna go to the, the
eighth horse which is made another module disabled.
Uh, may say, okay, so three three races formation kid has 11
coming second at the, for Jeremy to Forte.
Had every reason to beat 14 erase Forte, basically had to
overcome everything important to still be 21.
I'm tossing this horse, but I know a lot of people love this
horse. I think it hit the board, okay,
I think he's get Delgado, his trainers is fantastic distance,
trainer I've been watching the morning to go a little bit
further to everybody. The more you really see how he's
trying to get his his endurance and stamina up, he just lost by
a little bit about Forte. Forte is going to be what?
Three two one, seven two two. I think might be a little higher
than that age is going to be 25. 21, 2016, 11, length difference,
right? He made a really nice move last
time, just moves a little bit early, but over King's in
trouble, and was able to do well, I think he can hit the
board. I think a third or fourth, you
know, Place finish. I think this the move from Luis
saez to Javier Castellano in the irons is a major downgrade to me
at least. And so I'm going to toss this
horse. I think he does not cost a lot
of, by the way, with on the board of Mage, the one time he
didn't come in the money now. So there you go.
Now to be fair, If that's first time going through turns a
locker stop here. Yeah, I'm with you.
No, horse is doable. That's a good question.
Was, this is the first time they're running this.
Like the answer is all of them. That's right.
Yes, absolutely. They don't really do that much
again, honestly, like they'll graduate the Breeders Cup
Classic, but go Mama half in the Belmont, but they typically
stated that molony from this point out.
Now this horse number 9, I think you people got pay attention to
you, it's getting a lot of Buzz came in third in the Santa Anita
Derby. This is the nine horse Skinner
the base. Really just drew in the race
recently. With one of the, the one of the
horse that passed away, unfortunately, got Skinner's to
the race. Lot of people think I include
that, this is a horse. That could get the board.
We do our little journey draft. This was the the backend horses,
the draft that everyone really liked doing man.
Okay? So I am of the opinion.
That the Santa Anita Derby is a really important prep for the
Kentucky Derby to the point that I actually bet the second-place
finisher in this race man. Are in hero in the Preakness
Futures because I think he ran so well with second place in the
Santa Anita Derby. But I think he's got a legit
shot the Preakness. If I think that that I think I
have to take the horse that finished lesson at length behind
him and Skinner, very seriously. So I don't know if I've got skin
at winning, this thing of man, if he's there at the end, I will
not be surprised. Yeah, I think he's got a rider
upgrade with getting Hernandez. He had Espinoza before who tends
to take horses wide and he's been going on trips and I think
he's gonna get a better trip. Um, a little bit inside her
Nana's. When the top jocks in
California, for sure, for me. I just tossed all those horses
from that, that prep that colorful that's a neither,
right? Yeah, I just don't think they
have it. I don't think they're running
against anybody. The winner practical movie and
easy trips. Every time he was out there,
safe ground 0, pressure chasing that you're 43 to one shot on a
lead. That sort of setup.
I do, I'm not sure it's going to get the distance.
I'm just going to I'm going to fade the nine Skinner.
Well that means you're also fading the Tim horse practical
move I guess on that one state which is our necks.
I practically won the scene. Anita Derby is a horse that I
really liked going into the saying, is there be a lot of
people think that they were just kind of coasting that Races?
They didn't really need the points.
I don't like that. I want to see them Keen up and
getting better and better and better.
Now, practical move still won that race.
This would have been the horse that for the longest time.
I would have had a drink is my second favorite Derby horse.
He probably dropped down to probably number five for me now.
So still a player, still someone who I think it hit the board but
not a horse. That I love as much just because
I'm starting to wonder if he wants to go that extra a little
bit or if he's going to be a horse, that's going to be really
good at a mile and an eighth living disagree with these two
guys. I think this is an absolute
player here. I think he was not revved up all
the way for the last race because they didn't need it and
I think that jockeys approach these things different ways.
I trust that Timmy octene who has had this horse the whole
time. This is not a transfer from the
back row Corner. This is one that's been in his
care, it's entire life. I've watched him progressively
move this horse into better and better spots.
I love that he goes to La Salle Los Alamitos in Los Angeles and
wins over the to turns there. When they have a little weird
little clip almost like a paperclip thing going on, where
you have to turn to the right, a little bit to turn left, it
didn't bother him and he wins it a big number and everyone goes.
Oh, okay, so we won that one race and then he comes back and
he runs to the San Felipe and it's a longer race at Santa
Anita. And he wins that one and then he
comes back in the Santa Anita Derby.
And I hear all these great things about Skinner and I hear
all these great things about Mandarin hero, and he gets the
job done any Way, I think he's absolutely a player here.
I love that Ramon Vasquez, is already here.
He's running races. He's here at Churchill Downs.
Has get used to the the layout sometimes, he's California.
Joxer's flying for the day. I don't love that.
That's not the case here. Ramon, baskets very capable guy.
Really trust him here in absolute include for me, as a
top three horse, the 11 horse disarm, this is a horse, that's
getting a lot of us I would say. This is a backside bus horse for
sure. Can't got in kind of late by
getting the third place. Four points for the Lexington
Stakes just a couple weeks ago. I'm tossing this horse because I
think the backside Buzz worse usually is a toss.
So so, and so let's cancel the last backside, bonds horse to
hit the board, the tangent of or yeah, I begin with.
So, I think that race was good. For Bill Moore Foundation.
And I think, I think, I think you can win, you know, not quite
as much as some of these others, but I think you can get it done.
I think he finishes like 15th and so I won't be playing the
11. I think he's going to hate the
company and although I think he's gonna have too much work to
do by the time he gets around for toss and Kings Barnes.
Who we lost to my open links in Louisiana Derby.
Then I think it's only fair to toss them here, short
turnaround, to from the Lexington.
He's never done that before. So I'm going to toss here.
So he, I tossed Kings Barnes. I toss this arms, So the 12
horse JC's road with Russia row who I absolutely love aboard and
Brad Cox the trainer tossing this one, I can't if I tossed
you, let you I'm tossing this. Here's the fascinating thing
with this horse. This horse is probably going to
inherit the lead. Yep.
And we've seen horses gulf-front sale from the Kentucky Derby.
Yeah, and if you believe that, that is a good tactic, which by
the way, it's actually you ever have a horse and it could go out
front and never get past. That's really good for you.
Okay, that's how he's not horse. Now, can you do it for 10 for a
long since the question? Yeah, I do.
Thank you Cam. Yeah, but he's going to be the
lead in this race. He's capable of early speed when
he works out. He is he's keyed up that horse
wants to run and so if you're looking for that horse going to
be out front. Now I think he's interesting and
exactas trifectas because what if you what if he does all the
work and a forte picks him up at the end or a at a Trice picks
him off at the end, I could see that absolutely happening.
Here he comes in at 55 0, to 1 and so that's kind of course if
he hits the board We're open our hands together.
You like me a lot, but I agree. So people say my last race.
Keep it broke through the gate for the race open, and then he
didn't quite have enough to get that leverage.
That was a huge, huge deal. He's also been described as a
coward, meaning that he will not try to pass any horses, right?
These days. He gets past, he's done.
He's cooked. He's going to get pressure at
some point, he could just get bold and keep going sure.
But what if he does get the lead you think he might hang on for a
piece, right? So I'm tempted to use them
underneath but I think the smarter part of me because he is
going to toss them but I think little bit question mark the 12
whole room is very good. Yeah I think it actually really
sensible. Yeah he's outside the other
seeking Tech and going on them and try to get their employment.
Drew's a fantastic front-running job.
That's really what it's Specialties.
Yeah can you repeat source? Thirteen, son, Thunder, turned
heads with his work out on May 2nd, start to get a little bit
of buzz, but at the end of the day, the source probably is not
really talented enough to get this win here.
This is a toss or me the number 13.
Some Thunder. Every horse worked really
quickly that day. That's or something about that
track. That was very fast.
You have our best on the yeah, right.
And that's when inside a statue was a verifying.
Get was verifying. We're in a really fast as well
at right around then. I just think too much to do here
for some Thunder. Um, even coming out of that,
Louisiana Derby wasn't really a factor.
I do like the move back to Bryant Hernandez.
You here. I think that's a positive for
the sports here, but yeah, I'm just not feeling this one.
Yeah. Is that what I'm torn about?
But I think I might use because of ride.
Her name is jr. Yeah I think he's gonna ride
this horse to get fourth or third.
You're not gonna try to win Chuck.
You're right. He's a come with that later on,
he's a big big, big cult. They put the blinkers on just to
keep a little bit focused and can start shopping starts little
bit hard for. He's been a little late.
Bella, but I think he could be a bit of a price coming late,
third or fourth, but the definitely not to it, but he's
training great. So, I mean, if you, if you care
about that, these absolutely doing the 14 horse, angel of
Empire. Brad Cox is To Me.
Brad, Cox is best horse right here with flavor and Pratt
aboard. I had Angels Empire hitting the
board in that Herald Leader piece, it will be coming out
tomorrow. Louis Hyman.
I passed on it. So I don't know.
You didn't do it. One of my pics to come out of
here. That's just what I wanted.
My picture come out on the show because I respect these people.
Not whoever lives in Lexington, how about that?
How about that? How about that?
How about that? How about that?
Angel of Empire one. The Risen star turned around
one. The Arkansas Derby, definitely a
horse here that I think is 5. Yeah, I think he's I think he's
the best chance of the concourses to get it done.
Super impressive, very laggy. He can get the distance brats
always been saying that he can get the distance, it won't be a
problem whatsoever, he's just paired up.
Numbers trip the third grass. I'm not sure if he can go one
more step forward because it's a big step forward from two year
olds with three year olds. If he's got more in him,
obviously, you'll be, you know, typical Triple Crown, but I
think he's gonna be able to run that race back again and he's
got to work on a trip. He's gonna come from off the
pace from behind them. There's 20 horses in front of
them. So I think this little bit
dangerous. So I'm going to use things like
that, prior to finishing the money.
Falling for 70 grand. He's earned over a million
bucks, not too shabby. Yeah, absolutely a play there at
sorry can tell ya know, it's right, it's right, it happens.
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of a little Virginia bread.
You may have heard of, you know, kind of think so.
Well, it's a while they come in from out of state II.
Do think, Angel vampire, absolute player here about a
second slower than the Santa Anita Derby but that sanity to
track way faster than the old contract.
And so I think the time everything about that race makes
sense. Not a great field of the
Arkansas Derby this year. King Russell reincarnate to
horses that we would be tossing right away in this field.
But he did what he supposed to do.
You win that race by more than four legs, right?
You're supposed to do that and he did that Bobby and pride
aboard. Totally trust him here, like
flopping about the Oaks, and in the interview, the 15 horse, the
horse that I am picking to win the Kentucky.
Derby is forte with. I read a piece of board.
Todd Pletcher is the is the trainer to me this horse is Is
super impressive because like Kevin said, earlier, we usually
see these developing horses, this two year, olds and this
horse broke his Maiden. Last May, which is almost
unheard of anymore and won the Breeders Cup Juvenile.
And so you're like, okay now all these other horses are going to
mature and catch up and pass them up and he just keeps
getting better before. The Derby trip to me, was the
was the straw that just really kind of proved it to me.
A lot of people are negative on his for the Derby.
He overcame everything. So at the end of the day, in the
fort of Derby, when you start on the outside, you're immediately
going into the turn. He had overcome and outside
post-position irad, did not ride him.
Well, that time he had a bad ride, he had a bad trip.
He's coming down the stretch, five wide and this horse still
found a way. I am huge on for che winner of
six races out of seven lifetimes.
So Forte's my picked when they take care of you, Yeah, I think
is absolutely Contender to win. He's the shore price or that I'm
using which is give me some thoughts about some of those
other short prized horses has the heart to get it done as the
racing mind, proofs in the pudding and he's feeling
himself. He's in the paddock yesterday.
HR do it like a little Dance Revolution.
Got it, would you hear that? Oh yeah, he was doing a little
bit of that. So keep an eye on the paddock
beforehand over watch it. Oh yeah, to do the lawn mower
and I didn't like that. Yeah.
That's who you would use. I'm not even worried about this
horse. It the more I think 80 there was
a racetrack. Course would be this one.
That means that awesome. Great Skate.
Yeah. You play the 16.
Right? We're tossing, which means we're
taking your bits, right? But you get, you get, you get
all of our money if he wins. Yeah, right.
Yeah. Now we're not bad.
He lost his last race to a riderless horse.
Yeah, lost lots of jockey the beginning.
It was in the mud. It was a crazy race.
He is trained by to talk out. The interesting thing here is
they shipped a long time ago so the tracks he's been at the
track for a long time. Does I think actually does look
comfortable Churchill he does. He's been on the track her at
like ours. Well, and the Japanese really
allow their horses to stretch their legs for a lot longer than
American trainers do. Yeah, this horse has got a lot
of miles on the church and literally a lot of miles on the
Churchill Downs surface. So if we're going to have UAE
Derby winner, this feels like the one that would happen for
two reasons. The first one is what we just
talked about lots of time on the track.
The second is the Japanese in their horse program.
Have done, unbelievable. Things around the world.
In recent years, most notably two years ago in the Breeders
Cup at Santa Anita picked off the distaff and another race.
That I can't remember. Right now, But they are starting
to really pick off the Arabian, Peninsula races as well.
And so if it's going to be at any time, I think we have a
Japanese winner of the Derby in the next step.
I think that absolutely happens in the next decade.
I think we saw even with with mandarin hero coming over to run
at Santa Anita. I think we start to see those
horses come over February rather than just him and I hope it
happens by the way because they're terrific Horsemen in the
horses are awesome. So yeah, get more of that over
here, please. Yeah, he seems he seems ready to
roll. Well, they do a fine job, so you
will absolutely be fun. He messed up, he learned his
lesson, I think it is, but it's not a horse is a horse that
could hit the board into Mischief horse here.
Trained by Bill Mott about throwing out that last race.
And this is a horse. He's hit the board in his two
races at Churchill Downs. So it's a long shot.
Could the board. Yeah.
You know Andy I'm going to toss rocket cannon back and forth
about this one. I think he's been looking really
good at the track. He's in philmont's hands,
fantastic trainer. You could have just kept little
bit back. They might get back into form.
Be could be, could be getting a dumb and that's a lot of ifs for
me when I'm going to toss that in my head to put my money
behind it. So I'm going to talk about
mcandrew poorly. I think Beyond this outside
spot. Yeah.
States to be in the 18. I do think he likes the surface.
I look really comfortable over the last couple of days.
I really liked you. Your Eldorado as a jockey, I
think is a really capable guy. Yeah.
Belmont obviously has been winning big races this year
back-to-back weekends wins the found a youth, the weekend,
before that he wins the Pegasus at Gulfstream Park or excuse me
one the Holy Bull. Excuse me.
And then the Pegasus before that, I think we might have seen
rocket cans. Best already some horses Peak at
to some of the peak early on their three-year-old here.
I think there's a chance of that.
So I'm going to leave The 19 horses Lord miles the long shot,
winner of the Wood Memorial was 50 almost 60 to 1 and that would
Memorial and got the win. We hit show, but I'm tossing,
the source. Yeah, toss it for sure.
I mean, sometimes you see a horse jump out and just free and
they just can't run back to the ultimate even bottoms about.
They can never move back to that performance again.
I think that's what we have here.
Come down. Just exact form, are you?
I gotta say. No.
No comment. I gotta say if we are, if we are
so lucky. As to have Lord Mi went on
Saturday, it will be the finest combination of man bun and chest
hair in the history of the winter.
Start with the Kentucky Derby with sappy Joseph, jr.
Whose wife just looks like South Florida, which is also very nice
but I don't think this horse is going to win out and accent.
Oh, yeah, he's from Barbados the whole thing, you know, but it's
just, they're from everywhere. Great.
Yes. We're not going to spend too
much time on the 20 because I know none of us liked him.
Continue our would be the to me, the absolute.
Absolute worst force in this field and he hates the track.
He does not look comfortable out there at all.
Anything they had ever, he's gonna win the dirt, he's gonna
win because we're besmirching. But I think we will just real
quick. There's the to also eligibles.
If we have some scratches with the 21 Cyclone Mission and 22,
Mandarin hero who I think we all may be all think that they both
these horses could hit the Border.
They draw in okay. Hit the board.
Interesting. I like Mandarin hero.
A lot more than I like cycling Mission.
I agree. I wish.
Cycle Mischief were in that Pat De Mi field, we talked about
because I might feel a lot more strongly about that.
I would agree, I think he'd be unbelievable in that race
disappointing that they left him in here, but I understand it to
just wait two weeks for World of dreams.
I know that's what they're doing bandura here.
Although, I think is absolutely keyed and ready to win.
One of these races pick this off.
Maybe he's the first Japanese horse that wins the Triple Crown
race, maybe it's in Baltimore, but if you got into this field,
I would absolutely use him. He's the 22 feet.
Yeah, they turn hero. Does seem.
I've been moving well and the Indiana.
I'm going to toss them just because that might buy opinions
about that say - right. All right, any questions?
I know we went through a lot. Yes, that was a, that was that
was the first of the not true backside rumors.
I heard his, I mean, I think a backside rumors like I think
about talk before the NFL draft, everybody's lying to everybody.
And so I just don't trust anybody about it.
I trust my own eyes and I washed the horses work and that kind of
stuff with you on the track today.
That was not wish. I didn't
the Japanese horses. Which one do we like the most
And your hero later here are the 22 for me as well.
If you like the episode of Doctor instead, I got me.
So the 17, he's in the race. Okay, and he's more of a forward
horse. I think at the pace is gonna be
on the modern side, nothing like last year.
So it's gonna be it's gonna be it's going to help to be a
little bit of closer to it as opposed to work out that trip to
the trapeze. One that's going to benefit from
a 17. I agree with you because he's
going to be able to make his own trip.
That's right. Yep.
I agree. All right.
My daddy, right? We got it.
We're just happy that the connections.
and sets and sets it up for a closer and really when handicap
in that race, I think a lot of us miss that there was that Of
that rabbit setting that crazy pace, which really LED more to
Rich strike winning that and and I think the three spot for
epicenter, question the court, that's a great question.
I like that horse when he's working a lot.
He's very small, very compact really strong, really good.
Build, you know, I don't know what the connections are going
to want to do, but Ron moquette, I mean, I actually think of him.
Kind of unpredictable as to where he's gonna sign or is he
found out? You got to figure it out as he
goes and he's willing to enter horses in different spots.
A lot of times in the form you'll see is also entered a
different track that kind of stuff and so I I'm interested in
him. I think he's what you're talking
about, where's a plotter. And so the extra distance will
be fine and so yeah, the Belmonts, an absolute landing
spot. I could see him in next weekend
at Churchill running at a lower level race, but I don't think
he's probably if anything they're probably.
Point the box one because he wasn't nominated to the crown,
right? They paid the supplement.
Yeah, I don't think the Belmont creative cause The Sire isn't
that necessary? Like a distant, sire, possibly
weakness, right? You know, could be, could be a
spot for improve. He's looking really good.
He looked fantastic office harder because she just has
really figured something out. It's andronowich had, was their
connections. Definitely have a chip on their
shoulder shoulder because they believe they got second, our
chair and they should be in the race.
Ya and Ramos said is one of these guys who's really even
Keel and he doesn't but they're they're Just about there.
So whenever that horse comes out, next horse is gonna be
ready to fire. He's gonna be ready to go.
Any other questions? All right.
