00:00First things first, presented by Santa Anita and I'm here with two of my favorite jockeys,

00:09Frankie Dottori and Hall of Famer Mike Smith here and guys, we're going to Saudi, right?

00:16We're going to Saudi, yeah.

00:17We're going to Saudi.

00:18You're wearing the same colors.

00:19Yes.

00:20Are we in the same race?

00:21I'm not sure.

00:22You guys have both ridden there before.

00:25Mike, it's cost you money a couple of times when you've ridden there before.

00:29Tell me about your chances going forward with Tabor.

00:32First of all, I plan on being a very good boy.

00:34Okay.

00:35I abide by the rules and he's training extremely well.

00:38He's a very, very talented horse.

00:40One mile, one turn, should be right up the valley.

00:45Given the opportunity, he should run very well.

00:48What about you?

00:49You're both riding for the same guy.

00:50Yeah.

00:51Now, Bob basically said he's taking the two oldest guys in the room.

00:53That is right, right?

00:54That's how good he is.

00:55You got that right.

00:56That fact, right?

00:57Yes.

00:58Country Grandma, yeah.

00:59He was second last year.

01:00Solid horse.

01:01Does not know how to run a bad race.

01:02Obviously, he's a little bit over the fever, but he's able to run his solid usual race,

01:03so I'm expecting a good run.

01:04These are two kinds of horses where you have to pedal.

01:05We've seen Tabor working.

01:06He only goes as fast as you ride him.

01:07Country Grandma, pretty much the same thing.

01:08You guys fit enough to get rolling?

01:09We should be.

01:10We should be.

01:11We should be.

01:12We should be.

01:13We should be.

01:14We should be.

01:15We should be.

01:16We should be.

01:17We should be.

01:18We should be.

01:19We should be.

01:20We should be.

01:21We should be.

01:22You guys fit enough to get rolling?

01:23We should be.

01:24We should be.

01:25We are.

01:2640 years, we're probably close to 100 between us.

01:27That's right.

01:28Of doing this day in and day out, and look, these guys are in better shape right now than

01:29I think I've ever been.

01:30I'm riding like a 20 year old right now.

01:31Four races yesterday?

01:32Four yesterday, and I'm just . . .

01:33All that because Mike was out of time.

01:34No.

01:35It's a little bit easier for me.

01:36I'm staying as fit as can be, so we're both ready, and we made the best horse to win.

01:37Look at, there's Tabor.

01:38There's Tabor.

01:39Tabor.

01:40There's Tabor.

01:41That's Tabor.

01:42All right.

01:43We'll see.

01:52There's going to be a lot of others in there, they're not very soft.

01:56It's not going to be a give-me, you know what I mean?

01:58It's going to be a very tough competition.

02:00Let's hope we get a decent draw and let's hope the rest of them shoot well,

02:04you know, because they're going to have to go around the world,

02:05so it's not just around the corner.

02:07So we're just fingers crossed that they're in good health.

02:10Guys, wishing you both the best of luck.

02:16Should we do some push-ups?

02:17I'm still getting used to this.

02:18No, I might not get up!
