00:00So, the Santa Anita meet is well underway, what's going on at Santa Anita, Zoe?

00:04First things first, what do you have for us?

00:06We had a couple of great steaks this past weekend, of course, we'll skip on Muth and

00:11the San Vincente for a moment, but we're going to touch on Dick Mandela and Copion,

00:16who I caught up with just a couple of days ago.

00:20Always first things first.

00:25Richard, how proud were you yesterday of your filly's impressive win?

00:36Very proud, especially being in Omaha Beach, kind of makes it special, but she's been a

00:43beautiful filly from the first day we saw her, and always trained well, so we had high

00:49hopes and she fulfilled them.

00:52Has she ever surprised you in anything she's done?

00:55When I worked her with Tamra, she didn't want to work with her and give it much.

00:59That's the only time she did anything wrong.

01:02Can you give us an update on Tamra and how she's doing?

01:05Tamra's just about completely healed.

01:09She had a little crack in her splint bone and a hind leg, and that's just about perfectly

01:14healed and probably be back starting to train in a couple weeks.

01:18And as far as Copion is concerned, she's already, people are talking about on the road

01:23to the Kentucky Oaks, she picks up 10 points.

01:26Would you just assume to go the regular route with her?

01:30I'm not sure what regular is, but she'll probably run, we'll find a two turn race next time.

01:40All right, and talk a little bit about Omaha Beach and how proud you are to train some

01:45of his progeny.

01:46He's first graded stakes winner yesterday.

01:49Yeah, very proud.

01:51Frustrated I didn't get enough on.

01:54There's still time, Richard.

01:55There's still time.

01:56There you go.

01:57There you go.

01:58You've mentioned before he's one of your favorites.

02:00Can you just expound on that?

02:03No, he's just temperament, class, looks.

02:09He had everything you need.

02:12Ability.

02:17Many thanks to Dick Mandela and just really cool to see he was rushing off to meet the

02:23Tim Manns owner.

02:24All right.

02:25Do you want to remind you that racing does continue at Santa Anita where a little bit

02:29later, 1230 post time, Saturday, Sunday, and of course, Friday, we do celebrate the cow

02:36breads on Saturday with five stakes highlighted by the Cal Derby and the Cal Oaks.

02:42These five stakes totaling $900,000, it pays to own a cow bread as well as we have burgers

02:51and brews.

02:52And I know guys, Randy loves his burgers and brews, don't you, Randy?

02:56Oh, yeah.

02:57Oh, yeah.

02:58Put a little green chilies on the burgers, maybe have a margarita ready on the side to

03:02go with your brew.

03:03Oh, yeah.

03:04Margarita on the side of a beer.

03:05I'm impressed.
