money if you can hit it.Are you a trifector super effect and win?

certainly like I generally will the favoriteover some long shots. Not like you

it's a great race to be greatfor me. If the favorite wins the
favorite day, it'll be a bitsad, but that's the way it works.

you find a second like last year, mister Mack, and then it'll pay
really good. You know, I'mtrue. Last year was why a race?

about you don't have a horse inthe derby. Yeah, folks don't realize

(03:22):
the derby and not have to buya ticket like I would have to buy
a ticket for my horses to gethim in the derby. Yeah, it's
quite difficult to get a horse inthe derby. And uh I had one
horse that was a favorite about fifteenyears ago. He's a second favorite named
Wimbledon. He scratched they before theconducted Derby hurt. So it's a it's

(03:42):
a long tough road and even fora big time horse owner like me.
It's tough to get those horses inconduct the derby as that's why it's so
specially the wind that it's such ana league event. Yeah, we're talking
