Louie on the road & 3 G1s at the Spa

All right, welcome in on the road edition of the Horse Racing

Happy Hour. Your guy Louis Ribeau doing it

solo tonight. No producer Zach, no.

Mike and Elfo hanging out with you.

Doing this from the dining room in my parents house in Grand

Rapids, MI, where there is no thoroughbred racing at all.

And so hanging out with you probably for 2025, maybe 30

minutes tonight. A shorter show as we get into

the heart of the summer meet at Saratoga.

I have some of those results from Saratoga last weekend

different things to talk about but essentially I mean I think

the obvious lead here from last week if we get straight into it

is the gym dandy and the outcome of the gym dandy.

The no change on the the maneuver by Irad Ortiz aboard

Forte to overtake Angel of empire and eventually of course

Saudi Prince and I. Look we had a great piece up at

our at our at our web page first Gen.

Sports Saudi crown excuse me not Saudi Prince.

You know about this race and what it looked like to the

stewards the no decision. It's essentially in this race

and you know I want to start from the beginning.

So Saudi crown races out at the beginning by races out it means

goes very slow in in 23 and four just under 24 seconds for that

first quarter mile And he did exactly what we thought he was

going to do. We talked about on the show last

week that Floran Giroux riding for Brad Cox meant that he was

going to get out front and try to win the race from the front

of the pack. And I think that is exactly what

we saw, was that they thought if they could get the lead,

maintain those reasonable fractions that they would be

able to win the race. They lose it by one 100th of a

second in the end and 149.61 to 149.62.

Obviously the right idea, they had the right the right game

plan. All that stuff Forte just

literally catches them at the line as they go over the the

mile in the eighth there at Saratoga.

A really game effort frankly in the slop as they were running

that. No, no real issue with any of

that part. But of course the the the issue

at hand is the idea that Irad pushes out too hard on Angel of

Empire. I'm of two minds here to me.

I get it. I understand why people are

upset on 2 fronts #1. Some people just with Irad

because of his history and what he does as far as race riding

and making lanes for horses the way that he does and he

definitely did it here with Forte.

There's definitely contact. There was definitely him moving

out. The part that I haven't seen a

lot of conversation on is the fact that Saudi crown drifted

the entire stretch. The horse was up against the

rail and you could tell Irad's intention was actually to grab

the rail behind Saudi crown but thought that he was going to

stay there. Once they made the turn, he

didn't go out as far as he thought he was going to.

And then he starts to drift. And I mentioned Floran Giroux,

he doesn't do much to get the horse to go back toward the

rail. Because frankly, if you do that

kind of drift where you move, say, two lanes in the entire

stretch, very few stewards are going to take you down for that.

And I think that's what his thought process was.

He's running well, he's on a good, he's on a good lead.

I'm just going to leave him where he is.

And then you get Angel of Vampire who was there.

And Flavian Pride had done his job.

He was in a stalking position. He had Irad stuck and Irad

forced the issue and he got away with it.

And I get it. There's absolutely contact

there. There's absolutely race riding

there. I didn't think it was a

dangerous move. I've seen, I read make dangerous

moves. This one didn't feel dangerous.

Felt like race riding. It felt a little it felt a

little more contained than what he usually does.

But I get it. If you think he should have come

down, I'm not going to argue with you.

If you thought that he, you know, was was was being

reckless, then I would say that's a little bit over the

line. I think it's somewhere in

between. To me, the no change isn't it's

not a crime against nature. It's not a crime against

humanity. I think it's the type of the

type of call that can be very 5050.

I'm not sure that it changes the race for Angel of Empire.

I don't know that that horse is ever going to get there and I

think that's what the stewards eventually decided was perhaps

there was a foul, but in this case, Angel of Empire isn't

going to win. But it did give Forte the win

over Saudi crown. If you're in the Saudi crown

ownership group maybe you're upset maybe that's one that

where you you throw your hands up like hey what do we have to

do here to you know if you're the if you're the FM Q stables

folks what are you thinking and and and are you are you throwing

your hands up like hey the guy gets days but you don't call it

when it's happening. I understand man it's a

frustrating thing but I I probably would have voted not to

take down am I in favor of the days doesn't bother me.

I think it's a totally realistic thing for them to impose on him

for a small a small couple of days off there at Saratoga.

You know the the other race that happened of course was the

Whitney and you know excuse me, the Vandy, the Vanderbilt.

The Vanderbilt and the and the the Whitney happened last

weekend and we saw elite power do what elite power does that

comeback style that run past you style catches Gunite at the at

the at the wire. I hope people listen last week

we had that trifecta freaking nailed.

You could have played the exact a box 4 or five up top and just

put Dean delivers by himself in the third spot and that try

still paid 1060 to one. And I know no one's getting

excited about 12:50 in the trifecta.

I get it, I promise. But remember you're talking

about elite power who paid 420 to win and gun I, who played who

paid 240 to place. We're talking about the two

horses that took all of the money in this race coming 1-2

and then you get Dean delivers in that third spot coming in, I

think his final number when he went off, Oh man, looks like 8

or 9 to 1, something like that. They were getting so much money

in A7 horse field between those two horses, between Elite Power

and Gunite that Dean delivers was sort of on the periphery of

that. But hopefully we got you

somebody on that trifecta because on on all of the

episodes that we did last week, that was one that we gave out.

It's just a reminder that Gunite's a really, really good

horse, but Elite Power has whatever that late kick is

usually that we don't see with sprinters.

Now we've seen it a little bit at Churchill Downs with some of

the Phillies, some of the mayors that run that have more of that

late kicking style. But frankly very few of them

have what Elite power has as far as that late kicking, that late

speed, one O 9 and a fifth one O 9 and one for that, for that

final time there, they get out in 22 and three with Dean

delivers. Getting that lead just couldn't

hold it over time and so yeah no I I just I I thought you know we

got a reminder that elite power is is the big dog in this group

of sprinters. We we don't have a great set of

older dirt males going to turns but we do seem to have a good

group that can Sprint and Elite power seems to be at the top of

that group. I say that and Gunite lost by

three again 31 hundredths of a second very close races at at

Saratoga last weekend. I I don't I don't hold that

against Gunite. I think it's you know an

interesting one too there I think we saw some you know some

interesting races on the West Coast as well you know I I just

I think it's as open a division as we've seen.

But right now if you had to put the rankings in it would be a

lead power for me that would be in that top spot again.

Louis Ribeau hanging out with you this is horse Racing happy

hour. We are presented by the Maryland

Thoroughbred Breeders Association and they are nice

enough to follow us on Horse racing 101.

And if you are new to the sport, I've been talking about two

races that are graded stakes. And if you are wondering what a

graded stakes is or what these kinds of races are, I thought we

could kind of walk through what the graded system looks like.

So the very top top races in our sport are decided by a committee

as far as how they are ranked and the rankings go from grade

one, which is the very top of it.

So think of races like the Breeders Cup Classic or the

Kentucky Derby, something like that.

Saratoga will have three of them this weekend.

The test, the Saratoga Derby Invitational and the Whitney and

all those are great ones, meaning the very top race

usually also comes with the top money and it comes with the top

prestige once you get to the breeding shed.

And so those are very important races to have on your resume as

you get older as a horse, as you move along in your career from

the track into breeding if you are able to breed.

And so that's a very, very important thing that and then

it's very obvious with the next two are Grade 2 and Grade 3 and

there are less grade ones than there are twos than there are

threes etcetera. And the idea is to you know

eventually when your horse gets out of that what we call

allowance company which is essentially like a baby steaks.

It's it's you know has more conditions on it.

It meaning you know there's more rules about how are you running

against other horses that have only one once or only one twice

if they've been in for a claiming price of a certain

amount of money. That's what the allowance races

are for. But once you want to get out of

that, once you want to get to bigger purses, more prestige for

you for the breeding shed, etcetera, you're going to move

into those graded stakes. Now you may see stakes races

that are not graded. Those are listed stakes.

And in the modern era, it's very easy to tell.

Those are the ones with that do not allow Lasiks but are not

graded. And then you might see black

type. And in those states where Lasiks

is allowed on black type, black type races, you may see Lasix in

a stakes race. And that's how you would know it

is black type. So from top to bottom it's grade

one, then grade two, grade three, grade four and then grade

four, grade 3, then listed at that black type at the bottom of

that list. And a reminder from our friends

at the Maryland Thoroughbred Breeders Association that they

are going to have the Jim McKay Maryland million.

It'll be the 38th rendition on Saturday, October 14th at Laurel

Park. It's a showcase of the finest of

Maryland's thoroughbred industry.

You can visit them at marylandmillion.com and stay

updated on contenders with the weekly Maryland Million Watch

and learn about sponsorship opportunities or you can buy one

of their ever popular club tables and more.

We'll see you at The Million on October 14.

It's a Saturday down there at Laurel Park, always a great day

of racing and a great showcase for Maryland racing as well.

We thank them for being the sponsor here on Horse Racing

Happy Hour for our 101 segment. Now let's get into the Saratoga

races this weekend. I'm going to concentrate on the

three grade ones, but it should be pointed out the caravelle's

running in a grade three against a bunch of bombs.

I'm kidding. But running again you know for

$300,000 here and we have seen over and over again in horse

racing if you bring the the purses you will get the horses.

So you get 6 year old Caravelle. She has now won five in a row.

Her last loss was on synthetic and so she we're not going to

hold that one against her. Before that of course she won a

listed stakes at Saratoga over this course at 5 1/2 furlongs in

the smart and fancy. That was last August at

Saratoga. Since then her only loss came on

synthetic. She's one of the Breeders cop

and so this is a horse that I think we need to take seriously.

If you are going to play that pick six, this is a great spot

to to shorten up. But I say that and of course

it's not part of the pick six, but it is the beginning of a

pick four. So if you wanted to play that

middle pick 4 there, there's a mandatory pay pick five that

starts in race five with an allowance race that could be an

interesting play as well. Caravel allows you to anchor

your ticket with what is usually a very difficult race to cap in

a 5 1/2 furlong Sprint. But because she's in there, I

think we can trust her and and lean on her until she and until

we can't trust her. Essentially No Balls is in this

race as well coming out of that wind at Indiana in the William

Garrett Handicap before that wins a turf Sprint, integrate to

at Churchill Downs, runs that in one O 2 and change over the five

furlongs. Interesting to note that her

last time at four at 5 furlongs was also one O 2 in change for a

caravelle at Churchill Downs in over the same course as well.

So a similar time if not exactly the same as No Balls the seven.

But I think we'll lean on the four Caravelle here to get out

front and get to the line before others can catch up with her.

That's a combination of course. I've Kylie got finally own in

the irons and trainer Brad Cox. We move up though to the race 8

trio of grade ones in a row here.

This one for the Phillies for the three-year olds going 7

furlongs. It's called the Test.

It's grade one half million dollars here going 7 furlongs on

the dirt. As I mentioned, you get pretty

mischievous. Who's in here?

Acorn winner, Kentucky Oaks winner.

Before that she was the Rachel Alexandra winner at Fairgrounds

as well. Has one at 4 different tracks in

her life including very recently in the Acorn over one turn at a

mile and a 16th against a very good company in the Acorn,

including Dorth Vader who's in this race in the cult who is not

interesting new shooters in here that we're not on.

That new shooter excuse me, that was not on that Acorn trailer on

any kind of Oaks trail at all is Maple Leaf Melt who ran in the

Miss Preakness and won that race at Pimlico on on May night May

19 over Preakness weekend. Very impressively.

Didn't beat a great set of horses there, but you got the

job done and then comes back in the victory ride in a grade

three of Belmont Park and runs a really fast 6 1/2 furlongs

against an OK group including Vava and and Dazzling Blue.

Carries 124 pounds, Gets to drop back to 120 in this race, which

I really like. You do get Joel Rosario in the

in the Irons. Melanie Giddings of course

getting out on her own and so she this is her essentially her

first major trainer trade. EI should say in and stakes

races including a win last time like I mentioned in that victory

ride. So very cool story for her to

keep the the, the training up for this horse who's been moved

to Saratoga has been there essentially since since that

last race at Belmont. As soon as they opened up that

that course at the Omaha training track she was up there.

I think she's a serious contender.

Obviously pretty mischievous. Is a very interesting contender

here because we talked about this a lot on the show.

The three-year old Philly route is very diverse, is a kind word.

And so these these horses, you know, especially in New York,

they'll run two turns in the fall and then they come back and

they run the acorn over, you know, mile and the 16th.

They extended the race, but it's still just one turn at Belmont

Park. They come back here and they run

at 7:00 and then they're going to run the Alabama at a mile and

a quarter, the longest that most of these Phillies will ever run.

And so it's just an interesting juxtaposition of the races

against one another, the path to get to those races as well.

I'm interested here because I think pretty mischievous is the

class of the field. I don't know that it's close.

I think she's the the three-year old Philly of the year right now

and and I and I think you'd be hard pressed after winning the

Oaks and the Acorn. I think someone's going to have

to win a Breeders' Cup race to even push her off of that off of

that ledge. It could be Maple Leaf melon

here. The eight that does that money's

gold is in here. When she runs her race she's

really, really hard to beat. Didn't show up in a great way in

the Acorn but that distance was really tough for her.

She is one for two at the distance before having broken

the track record included at Tampa at the distance seven of

her lungs did coming back in that 8 bells at Churchill Downs

lost by a head to red carpet ready.

Who's another very good one turn Philly that we have in this

class but I'm going to go ahead and try to get a price here.

The 6th Dorth Vader is in here lost that acorn by a head to to

pretty mischievous. I think that the shortening in

distance will really help her have that late kick.

And so I think she's fast up front, but I think she can

really finish as well as anyone else who's in this field,

including pretty mischievous. So I think she can actually stay

closer to the pace that pretty mischievous can and I think

she'll have a better shot of overtaking the leaders.

But we'll see, man. Maple Leaf Mel.

She's been behind a horse exactly twice in her life.

I think if I'm reading the form right, maybe three times.

She has spent a lot of her time with no one in front of her.

So is Money's gold. And when Money's Gold has a

horse in front of her, she seems to fade.

She seems to back off. I do think the shut, the cutback

in distance is interesting because I think a bunch of

horses can win this race. We'll go with the price.

We'll go to 6th N Vader, John Velasquez and George Weaver.

6:00 to 1:00 on the morning line.

We move on to Race 9. It's the Saratoga Derby

Invitational, $600,000 on the line here we mentioned it's a

grade one mile and 316th on that melon turf.

Course they're nice and bougie at Saratoga.

Excuse me. One, so I can take a drink here

and you know, cool field here. We've actually had a bunch of

really fun 3 year old turf races this year.

I mean the Derby Invitational, Belmont, the invite at Churchill

Downs as well. Couple of really great races so

far. I think this one's pretty wide

open and I landed on, I landed on the five here on top our

bridge. I think this is where you're

going to have to make a decision in the sequence because Cody's

wish is in the next race and that's the horse of the weekend.

As far as if you want to make money you beat that horse, If he

loses that opens up your your ticket, it opens up the the

payouts etcetera. Because all that money that was

on Cody's wish and it will be a solid percentage in that race.

I would guess 80% of it will be on Cody's wish in that race.

In the multi race sequences this is a chance for you to get

really aggressive. Is a is a race like this where

there are 8 runners, excuse me, 9 runners and a bunch of them

have a chance, but you have a horse like Far Bridge who I

think is probably the class here.

You do have web Slinger in here who we've seen win twice at

Churchill Downs come back runs a really, I mean a totally

admirable race. Last time at Belmont in the

Belmont Derby Invitational that was a mile and a quarter.

We're going a mile 3 sixteenths here.

Essentially the same distance runs out of time last time and

we're going to shorten up just a little bit here.

I don't see that as a huge difference.

I think once horses hit that turn they know it's time to go

and in this case there's plenty of stretch at at Saratoga for

him to make a move. I'm interested in Mondigo here.

The one horse, Joe Rosario Christoph Clement finished third

last time in that Belmont Derby by just a length.

And I think you know if you can finish right there with

Farbridge who I think is the class of the race in your second

running ever integrated stakes, I think we can see that class

jump happen here And so this is a horse to me that can

absolutely jump up and win and therefore I think this race

could be wide open again. That's kind of my larger point.

I think you got to use a lot of horses here, but if you want to

be aggressive your chances to use far bridge to single here

and just hold your nose and really hope that he does

something. I think there are other horses

though here worth looking at, including truly quality coming

out of the maiden win over a mile and a quarter on the firm

go at Belmont right after July 4th on the 7th there for

Jonathan Thomas. I read Stace and the Irons here.

Nine horses in a $600,000 race. I read on the horse coming out

of the maiden win. I don't think that's an accident

and he's 12 to one on the morning line.

I read peppering the board at Saratoga.

The horse might not win the race, but I think in a first go

in stakes company, this is a horse to absolutely watch.

And so 159 and three breaking is made in over a mile and a

quarter. If you run the Derby that fast

they talk about you forever, let alone running a grass race at

Belmont at that speed to break your maiden.

And so if he can keep that speed up he can absolutely win in this

race. The running style is interesting

too because I think he's going to be right in that stocking

position. If I rad can get that trip horse

has a serious shot. The nine true quality in the

Saratoga Derby Invitational to me very interesting.

The one I can't figure out is Chad Brown's program trading.

And this is a horse 7:00 to 2:00 in the morning line because his

name is Chad Brown. Gets flavie and pradaboard here

horses one both of his two stars breaks his maid at Monmouth.

Animated special. Comes back against winners for

the first time in an optional claimer.

Isn't put up to the claim. Runs a mile on a 16th at $1.40

and change. I think that's another kind of

horse where you throw your hands up because of Brad.

Chad Brown wins this race. Are we all going to go.

Oh, Chad brown was here. No.

We're all going to say yeah Chad brown won the race.

And so to me that's one that's also interesting.

That's the two program trading. But I'm going to go ahead.

I'm going to lead on the Five Far Bridge as my top selection.

Here I went 561212. I'm interested.

Mondigo again as I mentioned, gets that second start in a

stakes race. Did run at Keeneland it as a

maiden, broke his maiden going those two turns over the mile

and 8th at Belmont. Comes back, wins again, runs

against winners for the second time in that Belmont.

Derby finishes 3rd but by just one length.

I think the horse has a really, really serious shot to be near

the lead and take the race as well.

Race 10 is the Winnie, it's 1,000,000 bucks.

It's a grade one. They're going to start to finish

on the finish line at the start line there for mile and 8th at

Saratoga. They don't like to make small

tracks in New York. Mile and 8th.

Enough Cody's wish is in here and this is the ultimate can we

can this horse go in the Breeders Cup Classic?

Because I think you go here and then you look at either the

Pacific Classic at Delmar, you look at another race of this

distance prior to November and then you run the horse then ran

in May, ran in June. They're going to run them here

again in July or excuse me the beginning of August.

I I think they're starting to spread out his starts just a

little bit. They'll get him about 5-6 weeks

here. They're going to count it as a

quote off the layoff kind of start for Belmont.

Here you get Junior Alvarado in the irons horses never lost with

with Junior in the irons. Last loss was in the Challenger

going two turns at Tampa. People this is your chance if

you wanted to beat Cody's wish. It's a mile and an eighth doing

this kind of distance. The bad news is the following.

If you're trying to do that man, he was so good in the Met.

He was so good in the Met mile. He had all kinds of issues, you

know, he had to go 5 wide. He had everybody to pass and it

was like no one was there. All the horses looked like they

were standing still. We're talking about Zandin and

looked like he was standing still.

Zandin, by the way, has earned $1.7 million in his life.

White of Barrio was standing still.

He's made 1.27 in his life. Those are four year olds.

Talking about a Grade 1 winner in White of Barrio looked like

he wasn't even moving. Like he wasn't moving and that

was Cody Switch blown by how can they rate him to go a mile and

an eighth? He's gone before, but the last

time he ran a mile and an eighth was it was a maiden effort that

he finished fifth. It finished excuse me, 5 links

back in 3rd place last summer at Saratoga.

So to me it's it's not a question of, you know, can he do

it? I think he for sure can his son

of Curlin, right tap it on the mom's side.

But to me the the real question is, is this a spot where we can

beat Cody's wish? Everything about me says no,

this isn't the group to do it. If Zandin's your second ranked

horse as far as the morning line and I don't think that's going

to happen. I think the more likely winner

here if we get a different upset winner, it's going to be

charged. I think that's the horse who's

getting considerably better who I mean I think people forget in

2022 was the 2nd place finisher in that Florida Derby right

behind quite a barrio and I do think coming out of that

suburban at Belmont Park mile and a quarter over that a little

bit of a strange route there. But you get sort of A2 turn

experience beats clapped by 100 yards beats on Barack Obama by

another 100 yards. That's that's the kind of race

that that shows you that this horse is ready for longer

distances and can get it done. He ran in that Oak Lawn handicap

with Lasix. A couple back with Luis Sias

keeps Sean Velasquez here and I like that move.

I think it's a good idea to keep him there and will be interested

to see what he can do it this last summer.

I have one more in him. The five year old.

Does he have one more You know they tried him in the Stephen

Foster at Ellis Park. He went he runs forth, no shame

within 3 1/2 flanks. Before that though his last one

was in the Essex at at Oak Lawn in a grade 3 run.

The the Razorback Handicap as well at Oak Lawn.

Maybe get outside of Oak Lawn. He's won four races and it

actually might be less if I went far you know far enough back.

I just think you know that that he's probably has his best days

but he's the kind of horse that could sneak up and be part of

the exact and really rude. You take it that way too.

So underneath Cody's wish, I think it's wide open, but at the

top, I expect him to be the best one there.

I'm really interested. I think the route they're taking

with him is really interesting and a really good one.

He runs in that dirt mile last year and I think people need to

remember, while he hasn't run it a mile on an eighth, he still

got its ongoing 2 turns at Keeneland.

There's no mile shoot at Keeneland.

He comes back at Churchill, runs in seven furlongs in that Grade

1 Churchill Downs on Derby day. Looks great doing it.

He wins by a million million legs, comes back, wins the Met

by a million legs. Those two races show you his

class and we always forget that the race before that was the the

dirt mile. The race before that was the

forego. The race before that was a

listed stakes. It goes on, it goes on.

And so he's done nothing wrong. I expect him to continue to do

nothing wrong. The horse has never missed the

board in 13 lifetime runs, nine wins, a second and three thirds.

And so yeah, I think Cody's wish is probably the safest bet of

the day. Junior Alvarado, not off to a

good start at Saratoga. If you wanted to find reasons to

poke holes in this, you could, you could absolutely do it.

Do that at your own risk, is what I would say to you.

I think that he's pretty clearly the class of this race, and I

like the route that they're on right now with the Breeders Cup.

Give him some time off, bring him back into seven for a longer

at Churchill, put him in that mile in the Met at Belmont, and

then come back here to mile and eight.

Find out if that classic distance is even in the cards

for him. All the breeding says yes, but

all the success of shorter distances says, hey, let's keep

them at a shorter distance. All right.

So if you wanted to play the card here, there's an

interesting opportunity at 8th race starts the the Grand Slam.

If you'd never played the Grand Slam at NYRA, it's essentially

that you have to pick horses in the first three legs.

It's a four leg race or four leg bet.

You have to pick horses in the first three legs that hit the

board and then you have to pick the winner of the fourth leg.

Very fun, very fun bet there. The fourth leg is an allowance.

It's race 11 and I think you got to use like three or four

horses. So that bet could get pretty

expensive. But what's cool is we we looked

at it last week at first gensports.com and I gave out a

ticket for that and then it rained and it kind of ruined

stuff and we had the 20 to 1 morning line horse in the

winning race And then if you've used anybody in the top three in

the in the in the dandy that you were good to go so paid still

paid 60 to one which is a really nice number and so that's you

know a cool bet. You can also play the $1.00 pick

three that they have there. Races 8-9 to 10.

Give you a little bit of action there on on the grade ones in a

row there. My pick three play.

If I was playing one on that dollar base pick three for 20

bucks I would use four horses. Five horses and then single

Cody's Wish 1678IN race 8:00 and then in race 912-5612 and then

of course Cody's wished at the end there.

The six dollar base pick three is 20 bucks on that bets.

We'll try that in a couple days on Whitney day.

Hope you've enjoyed this episode.

Always interesting having to do this thing by myself but haven't

had to do it in a while so no complaints on my end.

My name is Louis Rubot. You can follow me on Twitter at

Radio Louie. You can find our show at horse

happy hour as well. You can also catch me, Dan Issel

and Kevin Kilroy on ESPN Louisville every Friday at

around 11:15 and we'll preview the big races of the weekend.

This weekend we're having, we're going to look at the races at

Ellis Park, which is part of Kentucky Downs future, excuse

me, preview day. And of course we'll probably

mention the races at Saratoga as well, but we thought we'd

diversify a little bit. You get New York today, you'll

get the Kentucky races tomorrow, and so you're all covered for

your Saturday and some cool opportunities there.

But if I don't, if I don't talk to you before next week, have a

great week. We'll see you soon here on the

Horse Racing Happy Hour.
