00:00So why don't you start us off and tell the folks who some of the horses we're going to use are?

00:07Absolutely. So the first one we like is number four, our shot, four to one odds or plus 400.

00:14And he had a summer of almost at Saratoga, got second in both of his races, one by a nose,

00:19the other by a head. Saez was a board for both of those days and stays on him today.

00:25He's won from the lead and then closed in those last two spots. So he's got that tactical speed

00:29we talk about. And he also closed in last year's edition of this race to get second place behind

00:35Arzak, who is back to defend his title this year. Another one we'll use is no balls, nine to two

00:40odds. Last year's Breeders' Cup turf sprint winner. After that, he took almost an eight month break

00:46and since then has had two disappointing races, but I'm not ready to say he's lost it or declining.

00:51That first race again was after eight months. And the next one was over the unique Kentucky

00:56Downs turf course where a lot of horses just simply don't like it and don't perform well.

01:00So, and it's not like those performances were awful either. He still had really good speed

01:04figures in them. So I think if he breaks sharply and gets to the lead, he'll have a good chance.

01:08It looks like he rounding back into form. We'll also throw in the eight super quest who's really

01:13quick. He can also sit off a little bit and he may be the fastest in here. The one that they all have

01:18to catch. So four, six and eight for us in race number six, which is the first leg of this five

01:24race sequence. Let's move to race number seven, Alexa. This is the TCA, the Thoroughbred Club

01:29of America for Philly and mare sprinters. Start us off and let the folks know who some of the

01:34horses we'll use are. Yep. This one also is a Breeders' Cup win in your in race. So everybody's

01:39really going to be trying in here. Like the number one, clearly unhinged, ran her fastest

01:44rate to race to date last month. And she tends to do well when she gets a forward position early and

01:49can hang on. And the pace looks like it's going to set up that way for her tomorrow without a

01:54whole lot of pace pressure in those early stages. Also be using number three. Bright work will

01:59probably be the favorite in here. She's won five out of her seven lifetime starts and her

02:04losses came in a tough grade one at Keeneland and then in the grade one Breeders' Cup juvenile

02:09Phillies. So against really tough competition. Those two were also the only routes she's ever

02:15tried. So we know this is her specialty specialty distance and she should just come from off the

02:20pace. If she improves up her last start, she'll be tough. Yeah, the four spirit win will use. This

02:26is a horse who's kind of a monster at six furlongs when she goes a little farther than six furlongs.

02:31It's too far for her, but she's six for seven and her only loss at this distance came to a horse

02:36named Echo Zulu who was nine for 11 and she was an absolute monster. We'll throw in the seven red

02:41carpet ready to the outside who's going to get back to the dirt after a couple races on the turf

02:46and she's not quite at the tip top of the division with horses like Vava and maybe horses like

02:53Society, but red carpet ready does fit pretty well with a group like this and she can sit

02:58close from the outside. Let's move to race number eight Alexa in this one. It's the first lady going

03:04a mile on the turf for Phillies and Mayors three year olds and up. You are going to mention a

03:10couple of the horses that we have. If they're a little out of order in this race, you're going to

03:13talk about the two that you like a little more and I'll mention the others that I liked a little bit

03:17more. So who are the ones that you liked most in here? I like the number two Tarawa. It's an Irish

03:22horse. All of her lifetime starts so far have been on the other side of the globe. She's won

03:27two out of three of her most recent including a group three race over there. So now they're

03:31bringing her on over to North America. She ran against the boys two back and conceded the win

03:36to Diego Velasquez who's a really talented horse that is targeting the Breeders' Cup mile and her

03:41trainer Dermot Weld is the winningest trainer in history in Ireland and has a lot of success

03:46shipping those horses over here. Also like number 10 AG Bullitt already a millionaire already won

03:53six out of nine races in her life. She's already contender in the Breeders' Cup turf sprint. She's

03:59so very versatile and so this will be a nice prep for her going into the championships. We showed

04:05you Fluffy Socks a moment ago. She's a deep stone cold closer in a lot of her races. She just doesn't

04:11get the pace to run at. I think there are versions of this race where she does where she actually

04:16gets the pace. She can sit back. She can make one late run sometimes even going a little shorter.

04:21They go faster early and it sets up better for her. Gina Romantica the four probably the horse

04:26to beat. She's run some huge races at Keeneland and she feels like she's rounding back into form.

04:32So for Alexa and me in race number eight we'll use one two four and ten. Alexa we spoke about

04:39the Breeders' Futurity in detail but why don't you recap the picks for the folks out there. Let

04:43them know who are we using in race number nine. Absolutely we're gonna get spread in here like

04:48we talked about. It's a really difficult salty race so we're gonna spread a bit. We have the one

04:52ferocious uh less than two to one favorite. They spent 1.3 million dollars on this horse.

04:59High expectations. The number four handsome pants. 10 to 1 odds. A closer in here and one

05:05of only two who's tried out this distance. Also the five east avenue. Likely the pace setter in

05:12here is going to have a test with all that pace pressure and see if he can hang on and run them

05:16around the whole race. And finally the number 10 dapper moon who's improved a lot in his second

05:22start and will hope to sit close to the pace on the outside.
