As the woman from Channel eleven thereup in Baltimore who is afraid of

(00:21):
horses, did you see her interfear Diane? They worked all week with
her to try to get her overthis phobia, which isn't just like the
horse could hurt me. Her fearis the horse will eat her Channel eleven.
They've sent her there and sent herout to a barn all week to

(00:44):
work with this woman. And soshe thinks she's going to get like trampled,
which a lot of people do fearthat because the size. And oh
I don't like I am fearful ofhorses. Yeah, but I don't have
a fear of horses, and Idon't think a horse is gonna eat me.
No disrespect report order is her namedeb Ultimately, she thinks she would
be consumed by the horse, towhich the trainer laughed said, you know

(01:07):
they're herbivores. Hey, stupid.She also she also called this is the
trainer called the woman from the newsa psycho for being this afraid of horses
like this is off to a greatstart. It was a safe environment.
Where am I going? Line one? Hi Elliott the morning? Hello?

(01:34):
Yeah, Hi? Who's this?Oh? Are you talking to me?
It's hey, deb Yes, whatcan I do for you? She's over
her phobia? Well, I amone of the two thy five hundred plus
owners of She's great. Are youreally congratulations on your big pregnus win.
Thank you? I never said Inever screamed oh my god so many times.

(01:57):
Horse one. Now, I don'tknow if you're ready to announce.
Will you be taking the horse toBelmont? They're making the decision. We
were told that the horse went backto Keenland for that's his home track for
two weeks and then they'll make adecision. You know. Right now they're
planning to go up to New York. But whether they're planning to run him

(02:19):
in the Belmont hasn't been decided yet. There are other great Grade one sakes
races that he could be entered inthat would make a lot of money and
improve on his reputations. It doesn'thave to be to Belmont. How are
you? Did you obviously you ownyou own a piece of this through my
racehorse. Yeah, I own onepart of it, just like the other

(02:42):
twenty five hundred people who are involved. You know how much you're getting?
Yeah, I think they already announcedit an not one hundred percent certain something
between. It's like one hundred andsixty eight or two hundred and twelve dollars.
You want his win now? Mindyou. We slammed him and we
made a lot of money ding him, so but but you know, we

(03:04):
never expected to make a lot ofmoney on the track on him. It
was just fun. So did youdid you? Did you bet? Did
you bet on him because you owna piece of him? Oh? Yeah?
Why else? Oh? I meanwe always thought he was a great
racehorse. His his win in thePat Day Mile was amazing and we were

(03:24):
very excited when the track was moneybecause he's a really great mud muddy,
you know, mud runner, Sothat was exciting. We had faith in
him. But the Preakness is unpredictable, you know, these triple camerages are
in some way a little bit unpredictable, and anything can happen and any horse
can win. So stop talking tome, Bafford. Okay, Yeah,

(03:47):
she's an owner, What was yourinitial investments? A funny story. Actually,
my husband and I have been intoracing forever, but we're not people
of means, so we never youknow, we never thought we could own
any kind of racehorse. But whenthis, my racehorse, came along and
you could buy a small interest ata very reasonable price, it keeps you
the thrill of owning a racehorse.You know, how much did you go?

(04:12):
Want to work out? You knowit's one hundred and twenty seven dollars
this year you spend one hundred andtwenty seven dollars and she's making that back
plus a little more. Yeah,and she won a race. This is
important though. What happens does yourownership end when the horse retires from racing?
No, no, that's just it. If he goes to stud and

(04:32):
if he's breeding, we get apiece of that, right question that question,
Tyler. That's huge, by theway, especially with this horse that
won. Listen, it's it's anothing preaknous race. But still no disrespect
man, that's your horse I'm talkingabout. But yeah, this horse will
stud. So if you had ahorse that that one and now it's gonna
stud, I don't know what itstuds forth ten twenty thirty million dollars.

(04:55):
You're making money, dude, you'remaking bank. Well, yes, of
varrogant. He's going to be areally hopefully a good breeder mostly. And
now let me ask you this withoutof that, it was a very very
exciting. It was a sort ofa once in a lifetime chance for us.
It's worth doing. It's very littlemoney, and we were very lucky.

(05:15):
I heard you ask somebody earlier,you know, how often? How
long? How many racehorses has myracehorse been involved in? And we have
a Facebook page the owners and peoplehave said they've had interest in other horses
and they've gone nowhere. We werereally lucky, or I'm going to say
we're not really lucky. My husband'svery smart to know that this was a
horse with a chance. Hey,how did you How long ago did you

(05:40):
buy into Seize the Gray? Itwas before he was even turned out on
pastors. It's just a cult,young cult. And he because we they
would send us videos of him beingturned out on pastor just running these in
the field. The beginning, wesaw training videos every week of how his

(06:00):
training was going, et cetera.As a young colt before you ever gone
race beautiful, beautiful. Hey,congratulations you're you're the winner of the Preakness.
Good for you, Good for you. Prety cool. No, it's
beyond cool. Yeah, I thinkwe do it. I can't believe they
get a piece of it after theretirement. No, you own it.
You own it. But I thoughtthat was there are semantics with calling it

(06:23):
my race horse. I just thoughtit would somehow get cut out of anything.
Michael Barons, Michael Barns wouldn't dothat to you. Line six,
Hi Elliott in the morning. HeyElliott, Hi, who's this. Yes,
my name is Jackie. Yes,Jackie, what can I do for
you? I have two shares ofsees the Gray and Saturday was awesome.

(06:48):
Well, first of all, congratulationson your win. I just talked to
your fellow co owner who also ownsa piece. But wait a minute,
so much how much did you winon Saturday with your two shares? Well,
I'm probably around three hundred dollars,so it wasn't for that. That's
not including my best right, youbet, I'm betting on it now.

(07:15):
You could lose your ass on thatif Mystic Dan would have won. But
dude, you're in the money.Yeah, I was a little afraid when
he was out front so fast,and because that's never a good thing,
usually good it worked out, soI was so happy. Now, what
is the did you did you goto the race? Oh? I ended

(07:38):
up at my little nephew's birthday party, so we all it ended up turning
into like a previous party at thatparty, so everybody was betting. Normal
